9. IEEE P802.22 Revision Project
The P Revision PAR was Approved by the IEEE in March 2014
Work on the Revision Project has started
The revision project will:
Fold in the IEEE a-2014 and IEEE b-2015 Amendments to
It makes corrections to the IEEE Standard
The standard specifies operation in the bands that allow spectrum sharing where the communications devices may opportunistically operate in the spectrum of the primary service, such as 1300 MHz to 1750 MHz, 2700 MHz to 3700 MHz, and the VHF/UHF TV broadcast bands between 54 MHz to 862 MHz

15. 802.22 Active Projects/Status
IEEE Revision:
Merges the a-2014 and b-2015 amendments
Adds new capabilities for spectrum sharing in other bands where spectrum sharing may be allowed
New technologies such Full Duplex Simultaneous Transmit and Receive
Projected Completion Date: November 2018
IEEE Spectrum Characterization and Occupancy Sensing:
Creates a new standard for distributed spectrum monitoring
Applications include spectrum management, spectrum de-confliction, interference monitoring and awareness, on-demand spectrum survey and reporting, coverage analysis, shadowing and fading analysis, spectrum mapping and spectrum planning

16. Projects for IEEE/ ISO/IEC PSDO process
– Approved to become an ISO Standard in 2015
802.22a and b – Approved to become ISO Standards 2017
No new Projects at this time need ISO approval.
