Via Licensing has expanded its outstanding call for essential patents reading on the IEEE802.16 specification to include the IEEE802.16e amendment The IEEE802.16e specification, titled "Air interface for fixed and mobile broadband wireless access systems - amendment for physical and medium access control layers for combined fixed and mobile operation in licensed bands", is identified by the IEEE as document number IEEE Std 802.16e-2005 and is also referred to as Mobile WiMAX

Mobile WiMAX devices such as mobile phones and portable computers will have the ability to travel between basestations while maintaining long-range broadband connectivity for voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), audio, video, and data services.

The complete list of documents for the IEEE 802.16 specification, which this patent call now encompasses, consists of: IEEE Std 802.16e-2005, IEEE Std 802.16-2004 and IEEE Std 802.16f-2005.

Copies of all documents can be obtained online from the IEEE at www.ieee.org.

The goal of expanding the call for patents is to identify owners of the patents that are necessary for the practice of the IEEE802.16 wireless networking standards listed above.

Essential patents are understood to be issued patents that have one or more claims that would necessarily be infringed by the implementation or use of the IEEE802.16 standard.

Any entity that believes it has a granted patent that is essential to the normative portions of the IEEE802.16 standard and wishes to participate in a group of essential patent holders jointly offering to license their patents is invited to contact Via Licensing for information about how to submit patents for evaluation.
