Activities

Wireless Standard for TV White Spaces  

TC48 tasked TG1 to standardise a PHY, MAC and coexistence mechanisms for unused TV spectrum in the UHF Television bands (see Press release).

Wireless high rate communication in the unlicensed 60 GHz band.

TC48 developed ECMA-387 High Rate 60 GHz PHY, MAC and HDMI PAL for short range unlicensed communications. The Standard provides high rate Wireless Personal Area Network (including Point-to-Point) transport for both bulk data transfer and multimedia streaming.

The Ecma General Assembly approved this 1st edition in December 2008 for publication as ECMA-387 and subsequent submission to JTC 1’s fast-track procedure, see the Press release.

Ecma invites experts from WiMedia, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 06 and ETSI to review the 60 GHz standard and to provide comments. After registration, the experts can issue technical comments following this procedure that is part of JTC 1’s Fast Track approval procedure to transpose ECMA-387 into ISO/IEC 13156 until the end of May 2009, see also 60 GHz white paper and presentation.

High Rate UWB

The third edition of the UWB standards , published in December 2008, enhance support for Bluetooth protocols.

Ecma submitted those 3rd editions to ISO/IEC JTC 1’s fast-track adoption procedure that will close on 4 July 2009.

In addition, following the 2-month circulation for comments in JTC 1/Sub-committee 06, the assigned number registration procedure standard in ECMA-381 is now also being balloted under JTC 1’s fast-track adoption procedure to enable Ecma International to serve as the ISO/IEC registration authority of assigned numbers for UWB implementers.
