20. Completed Projects
Flagship Standard on Cognitive Wireless Regional Area Networks – Commercial Name Wi-FAR®, Uses Television Band unused channels, so called WhiteSpaces to provide long and short distance broadband connectivity
– Standard on Beaconing for co-existence. Uses beaconing technology from the primary users to alert the secondary users that the channel is being used
– Recommended practice for installation and deployment of IEEE Networks
802.22a-2014 – Amendment to the IEEE Standard on Management Information Base (MIB)s and Management Plane procedures
802.22b-2015 – Amendment to the IEEE Standard for Enhancement for Broadband Enhancements for the Broadband Services and Monitoring Applications

21. 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

22. Projects for IEEE/ ISO/IEC PSDO process
– Approved to become an ISO Standard in 2015
802.22a and b – PSDO process started.
The Chair of the WG needs to follow through with Jodi to see if the the comment resolutions on a and b were sent to the ISO/IEC/JTC1
No new Projects at this time need ISO approval.
