Working Group of IEEE 802.20 is necessary to “cool down”

Guide legislator standards institute IEEE, took the unprecedented step – from June 15 to October 1 this year suspended the discussions in the working group 802.20. This decision was made after a formal complaint from the representatives of Intel and Motorola that the team leader, Jerry Upton (Jerry Upton), promotes biased draft of the specification in favor of Qualcomm and Kyocera.

standard IEEE 802.20 was designed to describe systems that allow the mobile user connections with a capacity of 1 Mbit / s and above. Unlike WiMax, «grown” from Wi-Fi networks and providing with a relatively small number of base stations in IEEE 802.20 can be seen more in common with the classic cellular mobile telephone systems. A statement leadership

IEEE, it was stated that the suspension of the group will give 802.20 time to review the received applications, as well as the possible adoption of some measures not directly related to appeals. The Group’s activities over the past three years was opaque, and Qualcomm, as claimed at least three times tried to influence the voting process, imposing standard FLASH-OFDM, developed by Flarion. The culmination of this process was the acquisition of Qualcomm Flarion company in August last year for $ 600 million

Since then, some group members argued that Upton, though formally listed as an “independent consultant” is actually receives the money from Qualcomm for the lobbying company. During the last three general meetings of representatives of groups of 802 attempts were made to tighten the rules on which parties should be involved, acting as independent experts in order to try to avoid similar problems in the future.
