New 802 Networks Standard, IEEE 802.16/Conformance04-2006:
Conforming to the MAN Standard below 11 GHz
Anyone involved with metropolitan area networks should be interested in
the newly published IEEE 802.16/Conformance04-2006, "Standard for Conformance
to IEEE 802.16 - Part 4: Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement
(PICS) Proforma for Frequencies below 11 GHz".
This specification lets those who supply base or subscriber stations operating
at less then 11 GHz state which capabilities and options are included
in their equipment when they claim to have implemented the protocol. It
also gives users a way to evaluate a product's conformance and see if
it meets their needs.

Revised IEEE 16085-0 Describes Risk Management Standard for Systems and
Software
IEEE has just published a revised version of IEEE 16085-0, "Systems
and Software Engineering-Life Cycle Processes-Risk Management", which
describes a process for managing risk during systems and software development,
operations and maintenance.
It addresses risk management from an enterprise management viewpoint,
rather than from that of a specific project. The revision, which was done
jointly with ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7, broaden the scope of the standard so it
appeals to more stakeholders and now allows use of the standard with IEEE
15288 in addition to IEEE/EIA 12207.

IEEE C62.31
Gas-Tube Surge Protection Standard Revised
IEEE C62.31, "Standard Test Methods for Low-Voltage Gas-Tube Surge-Protective
Device Components", has been revised to add both technical updates and
editorial corrections. This standard, which provides test criteria that
help define the electrical characteristics of these devices, provides
support for design activities and when comparing various gas-tube surge-protective
devices.

IEEE 802.15.4 - 2006
Wireless Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications
for Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs)
IEEE's standard for low-rate, wireless personal area networks has seen
broad and growing use since it was approved in 2003. Now the standard,
which allows inexpensive wireless communications for industrial sensors,
smart tags, interactive toy, inventory tracking and other applications,
has been extended and made easier to use.
The new version, IEEE 802.15.4 - 2006, "Wireless Medium Access Control
(MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for Low Rate Wireless Personal
Area Networks (WPANs)", removes ambiguities and unnecessary complexity.
It also addresses such issues as making security more flexible, reducing
association time for non-beacon networks, and adding a method for shared
time-base distribution. Beyond this, it supports new frequency allocations
in Europe, China and Japan and extends 2.4 GHz modulation to yield higher
data rates at lower frequency bands. and transformers as well as interrupters
such as circuit breakers and fuses.

NEW SECOND EDITION!
Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks: Enabling Wireless Sensors
with IEEE 802.15.4
This Second Edition of Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks: Enabling
Wireless Sensors with IEEE 802.15.4 is the newest handbook in the IEEE
Standards Wireless Networks Series. This updated version now includes
detailed information from the revised IEEE 802.15.4-2006 standard, including
amendment IEEE 802.15.4b.
Presented in a concise and easy to read format by experts intimately involved
in the development and writing of the standard, this guide is a valuable
resource to the standard for those interested in the field of "simple"
wireless connectivity.

News Release
The IEEE has begun work on 10
telehealth device standards for controlling information exchange to
and from personal telehealth devices and cell phones, personal computers,
personal health appliances and other compute engines.
These standards, a part of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of health
informatics standards, will provide clear definitions of what is needed
to implement common communication features for personal telehealth devices.

VIOLET BOOK
IEEE Recommended Practice for Calculating Short-Circuit Currents in Industrial
and Commercial Power Systems
This recommended practice provides short-circuit current information including
calculated short-circuit current duties for the application in industrial
plants and commercial buildings, at all power system voltages, of power
system equipment that senses, carries, or interrupts short-circuit currents.
Equipment coverage includes, but should not be limited to, protective
device sensors such as series trips and relays, passive equipment that
may carry short circuit current such as bus, cable, reactors, and transformers
as well as interrupters such as circuit breakers and fuses.

IEEE Guide for Batteries for Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems
Various battery systems are discussed so that the user can make informed
decisions on selection, installation design, installation, maintenance,
and testing of stationary standby batteries used in uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) systems.
This guide describes how the UPS battery charging and converter components
can relate to the selection of the battery systems. Design requirements
of the UPS components are beyond the scope of this document. Battery back-up
systems for dc-output rectifiers are also beyond the scope of this document.

IEEE Guide for the Rehabilitation of Hydroelectric Power Plants
This guide is intended for the hydroelectric power industry to assist
hydroelectric power plant owners, operators, and designers in the economic
(feasibility) and technical evaluation (electrical aspects) of existing
hydroelectric installations for rehabilitation. It addresses conventional
hydropower.
Portions of this guide are relevant to pumped storage but the unique features
of pumped storage are not covered. Feasibility study results may indicate
redevelopment of the site. Redevelopment will not be treated in detail
in this guide. This guide covers all generating equipment up to and including
the main transformer and typical auxiliary equipment.

IEEE Wireless Dictionary
Wireless technology, like many other technical fields, has its own
set of jargon and acronyms. Many times, these acronyms are used simply
to reduce the effort required to describe concepts.
The goal of this book is to provide meaning for the acronyms and jargon
used in the wireless industry with a particular emphasis on commercial
systems. Although not exhaustive, an additional goal was to include the
most commonly used terms. Individuals who are experts in one particular
field, e.g., 3G cellular or WLANs, will find terms from other fields with
which they are unfamiliar. Individuals who need to have broad view of
the wireless landscape will find that this book covers most of the topics
and terms that are important in todays market.
