IEEE Approves Most Recent 802.16

IEEE Approves Most Recent 802.16 06/28/2004 12:59 PM
">The IEEE ratified the 802.16-2004 standard, marking a milestone in the development of the standard: Still, there's a long way to go. This article doesn't draw the distinction between 802.16 and WiMax. Now that the IEEE has ratified what had been called 802.16d, the WiMax Forum must still release its final specification for WiMax, which will be essentially a subset of the larger standard. Products built to the WiMax specification that get approved by the WiMax Forum can be assured to be interoperable with other WiMax gear. The IEEE ratification is an exciting milestone but the reality of a WiMax market in the United States is much farther in the future than some writers and industry followers acknowledge. This article notes that WiMax approved equipment should be available early next year. That's true, but basically all manufacturers will build their first generation products to operate in frequencies used overseas, not in the United States. It also remains to be seen how the final specifications--802.16 and WiMax--will affect folks like Alvarion. Alvarion is offering products today that it promises to upgrade to meet the final WiMax specification without additional cost to customers. Glenn described the whole process a couple weeks ago. One additional thought on Alvarion's decision to offer free upgrades is that they've taken a bit of a risk here but didn't have much of a choice. Some analysts have told me that some vendors are feeling a bit of a squeeze as potential customers are deciding to wait for certified WiMax equipment. In the meantime, the vendors aren't selling any gear. So Alvarion took the risk that they could make a reasonable guess at what the final specification would look like. They're hoping that they are close enough that they don't have to make major, expensive upgrades in the future to make the products WiMax compatible....

Agere Wants 500 Mbps out of IEEE 802.11n

Agere Wants 500 Mbps out of IEEE 802.11n 07/12/2004 02:24 PM
As the IEEE considers 802.11n proposals this week, Agere says 500 Mbps should be speed goal: Agere is combining MIMO (multiple in, multiple out antennas) with single and double-wide channel allotments of 20 and 40 MHz. With 40 MHz of spectrum and eight antennas (four transmit, four receive), they expect to reach 500 Mbps of raw throughput. In 5 GHz, Agere says, they could have 11 double-wide channels, while two are possible side-by-side in 2.4 GHz. Agere's proposal appears entirely backwards compatible with the single-wide, 802.11b/g channel and 2.4 GHz compatibility as a baseline....

MBOA Abandons IEEE--For Now

MBOA Abandons IEEE--For Now 01/28/2004 03:36 PM
The Multiband-OFDM Alliance (MBOA), a group that has been trying to set an ultrawideband standard within IEEE, is branching out on its own: The MBOA has failed again to get the necessary 75 percent vote required to move forward with the standardization process. As a result, the group has formed a special interest group to promote its technology. The MBOA blames Motorola for blocking its standardization push. Motorola is promoting its own version of UWB alongside XtremeSpectrum, which Motorola acquired last year, but was originally its separate ally on the matter. Motorola and the MBOA say they'll move ahead independently. Motorola says its chips will be in production this quarter, with consumer electronics products with the chips on the shelves at the end of this year. The MBOA may be just slightly behind, with silicon available in the last quarter of this year and products on the market in the second quarter 2005. The MBOA, however, says it will continue to try to get its technology standardized within the IEEE....

IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Security with
Microsoft Windows XP 06/28/2004 11:14 PM
Although wireless LAN networks provide freedom of movement, they also require you to address security issues that are not as prevalent on a private cabling system for a wired LAN technology such as Ethernet. The main security issues are the authentication of wireless clients and the encryption and data integrity of wireless LAN frames. This article discusses the security issues of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks and shows how the Microsoft Windows XP operating system can be used to make 802.11 wireless networks as secure as the current set of 802.11-related technologies allow.

IEEE networking conferences turn to

At first glance this might look like a "press release turned into a story" article since it started with an announcement by I.D.E.A.L. Technology of Orlando, Florida. But how and why I.D.E.A.L. vice presidents Anthony Awtrey and Jordan Jacobs brought in a contract to provide wireless (and wired) networking services to the IEEE Project 802 Standards Committee and Wireless Working Groups should serve as a lesson to Linux solution providers all over the world, especially in light of the fact that IEEE -- the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers -- was getting free Microsoft-based wireless (and wired) networking products, but decided it was better to pay for Linux-based networking because it worked better.

IEEE Releases One-Millionth Online Technology Document
http: //www.ieee.org/products/onlinepubs/news/0104_04.html

The IEEE released its one-millionth online technical document to researchers on 22 January 2004. There are now more than one million full-text technology papers, articles and standards in IEEE Xplore, the delivery system for IEEE online publications. The milestone document, "Novel Frame Buffer Pixel Circuits for Liquid-Crystal-on-Silicon Microdisplays," was published in the January 2004 issue of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits. The paper was written by IEEE Members Sangrok Lee and James C. Morizio and IEEE Fellow Kristina M. Johnson. The authors are with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Pratt School of Engineering, at Duke University in Durham, NC. The paper may be read for free here (Adobe Acrobat Reader required).

"This milestone illustrates IEEE's importance as the primary source for current technical literature." said IEEE publications director Anthony Durniak. "The publications of IEEE's many Societies and Councils cover the breadth of today's technology. With IEEE Xplore, we provide high-tech researchers, scientists, engineers and other users with a single, convenient source for access to the papers and technology standards they need to develop tomorrow's technical innovations. The value of IEEE-published information is demonstrated in the four million downloads requested by users each month." The IEEE online collection of technology articles and papers has grown by more than 25 percent over the last 18 months. This includes more than 80,000 archival backfile documents from 1950-1987 added last year.

IEEE publishes 121 journals and magazines and more than 400 conference proceedings titles each year and has 900 active technology standards. All of this information is available to researchers as full-text documents through the IEEE Xplore online delivery system. IEEE Xplore also delivers journals and conference proceedings from the IEE, the Institution of Electrical Engineers, headquartered in the United Kingdom.

Access to IEEE online documents is available through institutional subscriptions, by individual online article purchase, or through subscriptions available to IEEE members.

Overflow 06/28/2004 04:49 PM
“infamous41md has reported some vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel, which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or gain escalated privileges. Various functions in the IEEE 1394 driver contain integer overflows within the memory allocation scheme. This can potentially be exploited via specially crafted requests, which may cause a large amount of data to be copied into an insufficiently sized buffer.”
