Why IEEE started developing the<br />

<strong>802.22</strong> Standard(1/2)<br />

• May 2004: According to a Notice of Proposed Rule<br />

Making unlice<strong>ns</strong>ed radios are allowed to operate in TV<br />

bands as long as they don’t interfere with TV services.<br />

• So in November of 2004, a novel wireless air interface<br />

<strong>for</strong> WRAN (Wireless Regional Area Networks) started<br />

being developed using spectrum allocated <strong>for</strong> TV<br />

services.<br />

• Why use TV bands?<br />

– Due to their propagation characteristics<br />

• It is possible to cover exte<strong>ns</strong>ive areas in LOS and NLOS conditio<strong>ns</strong><br />

at lower power levels.<br />

– In suburban and rural areas there is a lot of “whitespace”<br />

in this spectrum<br />
