Abstract
This multi-speaker tutorial will discuss the current market niche for last mile access using unlicensed spectrum. It will introduce the efforts by 802.16's WirelessHUMANTM [Wireless High-speed Unlicensed Metropolitan Area Networks] Study Group to address this need. An overview of existing standards, technology, and techniques to address the issues, including interference in unlicensed environments, will be provided. This will be followed by presentations on the suitability of 802 MAC and PHY layers (both existing and under development) for WirelessHUMANTM requirements. A tentative outline of the tutorial is as follows:
