The IEEE 802.16 is a series of wireless broadband standards, also known as WirelessMAN, that are designed for Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). This standard specifies the air interface, including the medium access control layer (MAC) and physical layer (PHY), of combined fixed and mobile point-to-multipoint broadband wireless access systems. It supports multiple services and enables the deployment of interoperable multivendor broadband wireless access products.
References: The information is based on the IEEE Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks Part 16: Air Interface for Broadband Wireless Access Systems, which is detailed in the IEEE 802.16-2009 document1. Additionally, the Wikipedia page for IEEE 802.16 provides an overview of the standard’s purpose for broadband wireless metropolitan area networks2.
