The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) began to revise the set of standards covering wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE).
The five standards include one new standard, IEEE P1609.5 - Standard for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) - Communication Manager, as well as revisions to four previous, related IEEE 1609 standards.
The family of 1609 standards addresses the 5.9 GHz spectrum allocated by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for public safety in the vehicular environment.
"IEEE P1609.5 defines communication management services in support of wireless connectivity among vehicle-based devices and between fixed roadside devices and vehicle-based devices for wireless access in vehicular environments," said Thomas Kurihara, chair of the Dedicated Short Range Communication Working Group that is developing the standards.
"Based on experience we gained during the trial-use period for WAVE standards, IEEE P1609.5 will collect the communication management services previously included in [IEEE] 1609.3 and [IEEE] 1609.4. This will provide clearer guidance to users of the entire family of standards," said Kurihara.
The standards being revised include:
