IEEE Registration Authority
Registration is the assignment of unambiguous names to objects in a way which makes the assignment available to interested parties. The IEEE Registration Authority was formed in 1986 to register Organizationally Unique Identifiers (OUI) at the initiative of the P802 (LAN/MAN) standards group.

The IEEE is recognized by ISO/IEC as the authorized Registration Authority to provide this service world-wide. Since that time, the activities of the Registration Authority have continued to expand. For more information, please visit our Registries page

C63.5-2006
American National Standard for Electromagnetic Compatibility—Radiated Emission Measurements in Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Control—Calibration of Antennas (9 kHz to 40 GHz)
Methods for determining antenna factors of antennas used for radiated emission measurements of electromagnetic interference (EMI) from 9 kHz to 40 GHz are provided. Antennas included are linearly polarized antennas such as loops, rods (monopoles), tuned dipoles, biconical dipoles, log-periodic dipole arrays, hybrid linearly polarized arrays, broadband horns, etc., which are used in measurements governed by ANSI C63.4-2001. The methods include standard site (i.e., 3-antenna), reference antenna, equivalent capacitance substitution, standard transmitting loop, standard antenna, and standard field methods.

1609.1-2006
IEEE Trial-Use Standard for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE)-Resource Manager


This standard specifies a wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) application, known as the WAVE resource manager (RM), designed to allow applications at remote sites to communicate with devices known as onboard units (OBUs), which are mounted in vehicles, through devices known as roadside units (RSUs), which are mounted on the roadside. The WAVE RM, acting like an application layer, multiplexes the communications of multiple remote applications, each communicating with multiple OBUs. The purpose of the communication is to conduct information interchange, needed to implement the requirements of the remote WAVE DSRC applications.
