Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) based on the IEEE 802.16-2009 standard is a serious competitor of Long Term Evolution (LTE) for cellular networks providing high data rates to mobile users. To support various multimedia applications the Quality of Service (QoS) support is a crucial function. While the IEEE 802.162009 standard defines five service classes to support the Qo...

IEEE Standard 1471 is the Recommended Practice for Architectural Description for Software Intensive Systems, developed by the IEEE’s Architecture Working Group (AWG) under the sponsorship of the Software Engineering Standards Committee of IEEE. The draft Recommended Practice was produced between 1995 and 1998 by a group of approximately thirty participants, and over 140 international reviewers....

Test documentation is needed not only to assess the extent and quality of a test but also to assess the productivity of testers and to tie the test to the software architecture. Decision makers and auditors need test documentation to decide whether to release a version or not. Maintainers need test documentation to see how changes can be tested. Testers need test documents to help them identify...

Among all the On-Chip built-in self-test (BIST) technologies, JTAG is the most well-known and widely used. In this paper, the mechanism of basic JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) has been discussed. The pitfalls of the method are also discussed, some of which are rectified in the future standard, IEEE 1149.4 for Mixed Signal testing, which is also described here. Many of the valuable research papers on these ...

IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless access (BWA) technology is suitable for providing multimedia applications without accessing the wired networks directly. Although IEEE 802.16 standard well defines the quality of service (QoS) framework, it makes no specific recommendation with regard to the bandwidth allocation. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for allocating bandwidth in response to dynami...

In this paper, IEEE Learning Technology System Architecture (LTSA) for LMS software has been analyzed. It has been observed that LTSA is too abstract to be adapted in a uniform way by LMS developers. A high level design that satisfies the IEEE LTSA standard has been proposed for future development of efficient LMS software. A hybrid model of learning fitting into LTSA model has also been propos...

THE IEEE has recently approved the IEEE Std. 1603-2003 Advanced Library Format (ALF) standard, which specifies a modeling language for IC technology, cells, and block. ALF describes behavior, timing, power, signal integrity, physical abstraction, and the physical implementation rules of library elements (http://www.eda.org/alf). EDA applications can use ALF as a technology library description f...

A subcarrier based polling mechanism is proposed for the 802.16ab OFDM air interface. Purpose Aid in the evaluation of competing PHY layer proposals. Notice This document has been prepared to assist IEEE 802.16. It is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the contributing individual(s) or organization(s). The material in this document is subject to change in form and content a...

Definitions of terms in the field of antennas are provided.

Wideband impulse response measurements have been made in residential and light industrial areas of Ottawa, at 29 GHz. Based upon these measured data, we have estimated the parameters of adaptive equalizers that would be required for LMCS/LMDS systems receiver over a range of bit rates. The results should be useful as a guide to specifying modulation schemes and a channel model for evaluation of...
