IEEE Delays Approval of QUALCOMM Standards Proposal

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) delayed the adoption of an access technology called Mobile Broadband Wireless Access (MBWA) or IEEE 802.20, which was proposed by QUALCOMM and Kyocera as an alternative to WiMAX. The delay in adoption of the standard came as Intel and Samsung, which are supporters of WiMAX, lobbied the standards organization to consider alternative technologies for high-speed cellphone access. The IEEE 802.20 Working Group is considering a specification of physical and medium access control layers of an air interface for interoperable systems, operating in the licensed bands below 3.5-GHz, optimized for IP-data transport, with data rates in excess of 1M bps.
