Amendments rolled into 802.11-2012 #WW

The current revision, IEEE Std 802.11-2012, incorporates the following amendments into the 2007 revision:

802.11k-2008: Radio Resource Measurement of Wireless LANs

802.11k-2008 is an amendment to IEEE 802.11-2007 standard for radio resource management. It defines and exposes radio and network information to facilitate the management and maintenance of a mobile Wireless LAN.

802.11r-2008: Fast Basic Service Set (BSS) Transition

IEEE 802.11r-2008 or fast BSS transition (FT) is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard to permit continuous connectivity aboard wireless devices in motion, with fast and secure handoffs from one base station to another managed in a seamless manner. It was published on July 15, 2008.

802.11y-2008: 3650–3700 MHz Operation in USA

IEEE 802.11y-2008 is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11-2007 standard that enables high powered Wi-Fi equipment to operate on a co-primary basis in the 3650 to 3700 MHz band in the United States, except when near a grandfathered satellite earth station. It was approved for publication by the IEEE on September 26, 2008.

802.11w-2009: Protected Management Frames

IEEE 802.11w-2009 is an approved amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard to increase the security of its management frames.

802.11n-2009: Enhancements for Higher Throughput

IEEE 802.11n-2009 is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11-2007 wireless networking standard to improve network throughput over the two previous standards—802.11a and 802.11g—with a significant increase in the maximum net data rate from 54 Mbit/s to 600 Mbit/s (slightly higher gross bit rate including for example error-correction codes, and slightly lower maximum throughput) with the use of four spatial streams at a channel width of 40 MHz.[1][2] 802.11n standardized support for multiple-input multiple-output and frame aggregation, and security improvements, among other features.

802.11p-2010: Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments

IEEE 802.11p is an approved amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard to add wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE). It defines enhancements to 802.11 (the basis of products marketed as Wi-Fi) required to support Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications. This includes data exchange between high-speed vehicles and between the vehicles and the roadside infrastructure in the licensed ITS band of 5.9 GHz (5.85-5.925 GHz). IEEE 1609 is a higher layer standard on which IEEE 802.11p is based.

802.11z-2010: Extensions to Direct-Link Setup

IEEE 802.11z defines mechanisms that allow IEEE 802.11™ to set up a direct link between client devices while also remaining associated with the (AP). These mechanisms are referred to as Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS). A TDLS direct link is set up automatically, without need for user intervention, while the connection with the AP is maintained

802.11v-2011: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Network Management

IEEE 802.11v is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard to allow configuration of client devices while connected to wireless networks.

802.11u-2011: Interworking with External Networks

IEEE 802.11u-2011 is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11-2007 standard to add features that improve interworking with external networks.

802.11s-2011: Mesh Networking

IEEE 802.11s is an IEEE 802.11 amendment for mesh networking, defining how wireless devices can interconnect to create a WLAN mesh network, which may be used for static topologies and ad-hoc networks.

You can find me on @NSAshow E08 – ARUBA #AIRHEADSCONF RECAP

"On this episode of the NSA Show Podcast we talk with Chris Lyttle, Jennifer Huber, Sean Rynearson, and Blake Krone about the recent Aruba AirHeads Conference that was in Las Vegas. Chris, Jennifer, and Sean were asked to attend the show as top wireless bloggers. We asked them to come on the show to discuss what they saw and heard at the conference. Get the low down on the Microsoft presentation, Aruba Air Group [PDF] technology, and other banter on Episode 8 of the NSA Show Podcast." Follow the link to listen
