PISCATAWAY,
N.J., USA, 19 October 2004 With the fast-paced development
and implementation of the IEEE 802® standards and subsequent
amendments for wireless data communication, the IEEE-under its
Standards
Information Network-has published a book that covers the relationship
between IEEE 802.11™, 802.15™ and 802.16™, and
discusses how they will evolve.
IEEE wireless communication standards continue to have a significant
impact on the progression of wireless and mobile communications
that benefit industry and the public. Work continues on IEEE 802.11
standards that support air interface between and among radio-frequency
wireless clients in LANs, as well as on IEEE 802.15 standards,
which provide for low-complexity, low power wireless connectivity
for fixes and portable devises in personal operating spaces, and
IEEE 802.16 standards addressing fixed broadband wireless access
(BWA) in wireless metropolitan area networks.
"Wireless Communication Standards: A Study of IEEE 802.11,
802.15 and 802.16" provides a comprehensive overview
of the IEEE WLAN, WPAN and WMAN standards, while discussing deployment
of WLAN networks. It further addresses current business trends
and provides insight into future wireless communication standards
development.
"IEEE 802.11, 802.15 and 802.16 are evolving, and each of
them is a family of standards," said author Dr. Todor Cooklev.
"802.11 and 802.15 are mass-market wireless technologies,
and 802.16 is also becoming mass market. As a result, students,
scientists, and engineers in industry must educate themselves
about them. This book is the only book on all of the IEEE wireless
standards. "
"Wireless Communication Standards: A Study of 802.11,
802.15 and 802.16" is available for purchase through
ShopIEEE at: http://shop.ieee.org/ieeestore/product.aspx?product_no=SP1134.
To obtain copies of the IEEE 802 wireless standards, go to: http://shop.ieee.org/.
IEEE 802.11, 802.15 and 802.16 standards are sponsored by IEEE
802® LAN/MAN Standards Committee of the IEEE Computer Society.

About the
IEEE Standards Association
The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA), a global standards-setting
body, develops consensus standards through an open process that
brings diverse parts of an industry together. It has a portfolio
of more than 870 completed standards and more than 400 in development.
IEEE-SA promotes the engineering process by creating, developing,
integrating, sharing and applying knowledge about electro- and
information technologies and sciences for the benefit of humanity
and the profession. For further information on IEEE-SA visit:

About the
IEEE
The IEEE has more than 360,000 members in approximately 175 countries.
Through its members, the organization is a leading authority on
areas ranging from aerospace, computers and telecommunications
to biomedicine, electric power and consumer electronics. The IEEE
produces nearly 30 percent of the world's literature in the electrical
and electronics engineering, computing and control technology
fields. This nonprofit organization also sponsors or cosponsors
more than 300 technical conferences each year. Additional information
