The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) P1900.4 Working Group approved the content of a baseline document, which will create a standard to optimize radio usage and improve the overall capacity and quality of service of wireless systems in a multiple radio access technologies environment.
IEEE P1900.4 - Architectural Building Blocks Enabling Network-Device Distributed Decision Making for Optimized Radio Resource Usage in Heterogeneous Wireless Access Networks will address the functional architecture of the overall system, information exchange and seamless handover between a network and the devices using it.
IEEE P1900.4 is being developed within the IEEE Standards Association Corporate Standards Program, which offers a streamlined, corporate-focused approach to standards development. The standard is scheduled for completion in February 2009.
"In addressing these areas, the standard will provide much needed procedures that allow multimodal devices to make optimal choices among available radio resources," said Soodesh Buljore, chair of the IEEE P1900.4 Working Group. "It also will let such devices use several of these resources simultaneously to improve the efficiency and capacity of the composite network."
Three primary use cases were identified - dynamic spectrum allocation, dynamic spectrum access and distributed radio resource usage optimization. These scenarios are intended to improve overall wireless system capacity and quality of service in a multiple radio access environment, said the IEEE.

The system architecture and protocols selected will help optimize radio resource usage by exploiting information exchanged between a network and mobile terminals. This capability for radio resource optimization extends to the support of multiple, simultaneous links and dynamic spectrum access.
