An Engineering Perspective
on WLAN QoS: Now Available!
With the introduction of Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) and other multimedia applications, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
users demand more than just connectivity based on best-effort delivery.
This new book from the Standards Information Network can help.
"Wireless Local Area Networks Quality of Service: An Engineering Perspective"
by Osama Aboul-Magd describes in detail the support of WLAN QoS as specified
by IEEE 802.11e™ standard. It explains WLAN QoS standards and provides
a rational for the range of design choices based upon the characteristics
of the wireless media. The book also maps WLAN QoS to well-known QoS architectures.
This mapping is necessary to facilitate compatibility when WLAN is deployed
in an environment where different networking technologies are in use with
different QoS architectures.
This essential book covers topics such as:

Improve LAN / MAN Handovers with New IEEE Standard
The latest draft of IEEE standard P802.21, "Draft Standard for LAN/MAN:
Media Independent Handover Services," is now available.
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and the Local and Metropolitan
Area Networks Committee, this standard specifies IEEE 802 media access-independent
mechanisms that optimize handovers between heterogeneous IEEE 802 systems
and between IEEE 802 systems and cellular systems.
The purpose is to improve the user experience of mobile devices by facilitating
handover between 802 networks, both wired and wireless, where handover
is not otherwise defined and to make it possible for mobile devices to
perform seamless handover where the network environment supports it.

Get the Latest Standard on Current Transformers
for Protective Relaying
The characteristics and classification of current transformers (CTs) used
for protective relaying are described in the new standard, C37.110-2007,
"IEEE Guide for the Application of Current Transformers Used for Protective
Relaying Purposes."
This update to the 1996 standard also describes the conditions that cause
the CT output to be distorted and the effects on relaying systems of this
distortion. The selection and application of CTs for the more common protection
schemes are also addressed.

Tentative Interim Amendment
2007-4 to the National Electrical Safety Code ANSI C2-2007
A Tentative Interim Amendment is tentative because it has not been processed
through the entire standards-making procedure. It is interim because it
is effective only between editions of the Code. A TIA automatically becomes
a Proposal of the proponent for the next edition of the Code; as such,
it is then subject to all the procedures of the standards-making process.

IEEE-SA International Program
In late 1995, IEEE Standards entered into
an agreement with the Electronics Industries Association (EIA) for joint
development of a family of standards addressing software life cycles.
This agreement is part of the continuing effort by IEEE Standards to strengthen
its standards program and benefit standards users worldwide.
All standards produced under this agreement will carry a joint EIA and
IEEE designation and will conform to ISO/IEC (International Organization
for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission) directives--ensuring
uniform style and fostering international acceptance.

IEEE to Host Free Workshop on Use of Technology
Standards to Lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions - Workshop to Address Needs
of Power Generation and Electricity Sectors
May 2008
The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) will host a free workshop
on the use of technology standards to help lower greenhouse gases and
fight global warming.
The event, "IEEE Workshop on Standards to Help Mitigate Greenhouse Gas
Emissions, Global Warming, and their Impact on the Environment," will
be held Friday, 13 June, 2008 at the IEEE Operations Center, 445 Hoes
Lane, Piscataway, NJ 08854. It will take place from 8:30am - 2:30pm EDT.
The objectives of this workshop include developing an understanding of
the current standards environment relative to greenhouse gas emissions
and global warming and related issues, and determining the structure and
goals for an IEEE-SA study group to explore further actions in collaboration
with other key organizations within and outside of IEEE. These actions
may include but are not limited to definition of future standards projects.
Topics to be addressed and participant discussion are expected to include:
ISO standards in TC 207 (Environmental Management) and TEAM (Technology
Early Action Measures, Canada) documents for the power generation/electricity
sector
Energy efficiency and metrics for energy consumption of network equipment
Carbon credits accounting/trading
ISO TC 211 (Geographic Information and Geomatics) and its activities in
measurements for climate change. There is no charge to attend this workshop,
but registration is required.

here now! Teleconference numbers are available for those unable to
attend in person. Teleconference information and instructions will be
sent upon confirmation of registration.

Security Standard
PISCATAWAY, N.J., USA
29 April 2008
The IEEE Standards Association has selected an independent laboratory,
ATSEC Information Security Corporation, to test and certify the protection
profiles being developed to work with the recently approved standard,
IEEE 2600™, "Standard for Information Technology: Hardcopy System
and Device Security."
The IEEE 2600 standard defines security requirements (including but not
limited to authentication, authorization, privacy, integrity, device management,

PISCATAWAY, N.J., USA
29 April 2008
Recognizing the need for greater efficiency in the creation, delivery
and management of the growing number of interacting services and applications
in broadband and mobile networks, the IEEE has formally approved work
to begin on a new standard that describes a framework for Internet Protocol
(IP)-based service overlay networks.
This standard, IEEE P1903, will be developed under the IEEE Standards

Joint ITU / IEEE Workshop
Global Standards, Local Benefits: The
IEEE Standards Association
19 - 20 June 2008
Geneva, Switzerland
ITU-T and the IEEE will hold a joint workshop on Next Generation Optical
Access Systems, 19-20 June in Geneva. The workshop is the third in partnership
with IEEE and follows the Kaleidoscope event in May and the workshop on
Carrier-class Ethernet held 31 May- 1 June 2007.
The event will review the work areas within ITU-T and IEEE 802.3 on the
development of broadband optical access network standards. The relevant
standards groups are ITU-T Q2/15 on optical access network systems and
IEEE P802.3av Task Force on 10Gb/s PHY for EPON. This workshop will cover
the network evolution scenario, service requirements, the transport mechanism
and the physical layer for next generation optical access systems. The
event will focus on the opportunities for further collaboration in the
development of optical access network system standards.
