2. Nendica Overview
About IEEE 802 Network Enhancements for the Next Decade Industry Connections (IC) Program
The mobile industry is currently pursuing the development of the next generation mobile communication networks fulfilling the requirements for extreme mobile broadband, massive machine-type communication, and ultra-reliable and low latency communications as specified in ITU-R M.2083 for IMT-2020.
IEEE 802 technologies are mainly deployed in communication infrastructures outside of the IMT domain. Therefore, to address emerging network requirements, the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee is launching a new initiative under the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Industry Connections Program. This activity will assess emerging requirements for IEEE 802 based communication infrastructures, identify commonalities, gaps, and trends not currently addressed by IEEE 802 standards and projects, and facilitate building industry consensus towards proposals to initiate new standards development efforts.
Project activities and deliverables
Participants in this activity may work on the following outputs:
A report documenting the findings of the IC activity, with recommendations regarding new standardization topics, documentation of use cases and user needs for those topics, and proposed organizational approaches to ensure effective participation from user communities. It is expected that the first draft of the report documenting the findings of this IC activity will be available in March 2018.
Stakeholders - Who should join
Stakeholders may include but are not limited to:
Users and producers of systems and components for networking systems, high performance computing, cloud computing, telecommunications carriers, automotive, intelligent transport systems, eHealth, smart cities, IoT, and industrial applications
