Abstract: In the International Telecommunications Union – Radio communications Sector (ITU-R), Working Party 8F has been planning the development of recommendations for radio interface specifications for international mobile telecommunications (IMT) under the moniker “IMT-Advanced.” The detailed requirements are in development, with proposal solicitation planned for early 2008. Proposals are to be based on submissions from participants, including ITU-R Sector Members such as IEEE. This tutorial reviews the background, status, and plans for IMT-Advanced. It also considers the suitability of IEEE 802.16 as the basis of a proposal for IMT-Advanced, and it overviews the draft P802.16m Project Authorization Request (http://ieee802.org/secmail/msg08654.html) that would initiate the development of suitable enhancements.
