Scope

This Recommendation identifies specific radio interface standards that may be utilized for broadband wireless access (BWA)[1] systems in the fixed service, addressing profiles for the recommended interoperability standards. It provides references to the standards for interoperability between BWA systems.

The interoperability standards referenced in this Recommendation include the following specifications:

–           system profiles;

–           physical layer parameters, i.e. channelization, modulation scheme, data rates;

–           medium access control (MAC) layer messages and header fields.

This Recommendation is not intended to deal with the identification of suitable frequency bands for BWA systems, nor any regulatory issues.

[1] “Wireless access” and “BWA” are defined in Recommendation ITU-R F.1399, which also provides definitions of the terms “fixed”, “mobile” and “nomadic” wireless access.
