`
`IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the
`IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. The IEEE develops its standards through a consensus develop-
`ment process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which brings together volunteers representing varied
`viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers are not necessarily members of the Institute and serve with-
`out compensation. While the IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus devel-
`opment process, the IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained
`in its standards.
`
`Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The IEEE disclaims liability for any personal injury, property or other dam-
`age, of any nature whatsoever, whether special, indirect, consequential, or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting
`from the publication, use of, or reliance upon this, or any other IEEE Standard document.
`
`The IEEE does not warrant or represent the accuracy or content of the material contained herein, and expressly disclaims
`any express or implied warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a specific purpose, or that
`the use of the material contained herein is free from patent infringement. IEEE Standards documents are supplied “AS IS.”
`
`The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market,
`or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the
`time a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and
`comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at least every five years for revi-
`sion or reaffirmation. When a document is more than five years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is reasonable to conclude
`that its contents, although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check
`to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard.
`
`In publishing and making this document available, the IEEE is not suggesting or rendering professional or other services
`for, or on behalf of, any person or entity. Nor is the IEEE undertaking to perform any duty owed by any other person or
`entity to another. Any person utilizing this, and any other IEEE Standards document, should rely upon the advice of a
`competent professional in determining the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances.
`
`Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as they relate to specific
`applications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Institute will initiate action to prepare
`appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of concerned interests, it is important to ensure that any
`interpretation has also received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its soci-
`eties and Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to interpretation requests except in
`those cases where the matter has previously received formal consideration.
`
`Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership affiliation with
`IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together with appropriate
`supporting comments. Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:

`
`Note: Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require use of subject mat-
`ter covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the existence or
`validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. The IEEE shall not be responsible for identifying patents
`for which a license may be required by an IEEE standard or for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or
`scope of those patents that are brought to its attention.
`
`Authorization to photocopy portions of any individual standard for internal or personal use is granted by the Institute of

`Introduction
`
`This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 802.16e-2005 and IEEE Std 802.16-2004/Cor 1-2005, IEEE
`Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks Part 16: Air Interface for Fixed and Mobile
`Broadband Wireless Access Systems—Amendment 2: Physical and Medium Access Control Layers for
`Combined Fixed and Mobile Operation in Licensed Bands and Corrigendum.
`
`This amendment updates and expands IEEE Std 802.16 to allow for mobile as well as fixed (stationary) sub-
`scriber stations. As of the publication date, the current applicable version of IEEE Std 802.16 is IEEE Std
`802.16-2004, as amended by IEEE 802.16f-2005 and IEEE 802.16e-2005. The published amendment
`includes additional material developed not as part of the IEEE 802.16e project but instead as part of the cor-
`rigendum project IEEE 802.16-2004/Cor 1, applicable only to fixed systems. Because the work was com-
`pleted at nearly the same time, the two approved documents were merged prior to publication. Additional
`standards projects to further develop IEEE Std 802.16 are underway.
`
`Conformance test methodology
`
`The multipart conformance test documents for IEEE Std 802.16 by "IEEE Standard 802.16/Conform-
`anceXX". For example, the first part of the conformance specification for IEEE 802.16 is designated “IEEE
`Standard 802.16/Conformance01.”

`
`Patents
`
`Attention is called to the possibility that implementation of this standard may require use of subject matter
`covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the existence or
`validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. The IEEE shall not be responsible for identifying
`patents or patent applications for which a license may be required to implement an IEEE standard or for
`conducting inquiries into the legal validity or scope of those patents that are brought to its attention.
