IEEE 802.16.2:2004 (R2010)

Revision Standard - Inactive-Reserved.
This recommended practice provides recommendations for the design and coordinated deployment of fixed broadband wireless access systems in order to control interference and facilitate coexistence. It analyzes appropriate coexistence scenarios and provides guidance for system design, deployment, coordination, and frequency usage. It generally addresses licensed spectrum between 2 GHz and 66 GHz, with a detailed emphasis on 3.5 GHz, 10.5 GHz, and 23.5 – 43.5 GHz.

This recommended practice revises IEEE Std 802.16.2™-2001. In particular, it specifies extensions and modifications addressing two distinct topics. The first is coexistence between multipoint (MP) systems and PTP systems in the 10–66 GHz frequency range. The second is coexistence among FBWA systems operating in licensed bands within the 2–11 GHz frequency range. Updates to the existing content are also considered.
The purpose of this Revision is to provide additional coexistence guidelines to license holders, service providers, deployment groups, and system integrators. The specifications will facilitate the deployment and operation of fixed broadband wireless access systems while minimizing the need for case-by-case coordination.
