IEEE 802.11y specifications

[Godigo]

Hello!

I have been looking for information about the IEEE developing standard
802.11y and I sitll haven't found any information about the modulation
technique and the channel width to be used. Can anyone give me that
answers? They're already on the 6th draft...

Another doubt I have it's if it's expected to be implemented in Europe.
I only read references to FCC and it's implementation in the US... how
about in Europe, isn't ETSI to approve it's utilization?


Thank you for the attention.

Compliments,
Rodrigo S.

802.11y is 802.11a/b/g modulation but on the 3650-3700MHz band. It is
suppose to be exactly the same as 802.11a/b/g, but with a different
contention protocol and different MAC layer timing so that it works at
much longer ranges.

3650-3700MHz is US only. However, there are other possible bands.
See:

Dunno.
