IEEE 802. 3ab, ratified in 1999, defines gigabit Ethernet transmission over unshielded twisted pair ( UTP ) category 5, 5e, or 6 cabling and became known as 1000BASE-T. With the ratification of 802. 3ab, gigabit Ethernet became a desktop technology as organizations could use their existing copper cabling infrastructure.

IEEE 802. 3ab, which defines the widely used 1000BASE-T interface type, uses a different encoding scheme in order to keep the symbol rate as low as possible, allowing transmission over twisted pair.

XENPAK is a Multisource Agreement ( MSA ), instigated by Agilent Technologies and Agere Systems, that defines a fiber-optic or wired transceiver module which conforms to the 10 Gigabit Ethernet ( 10GbE ) standard of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ( IEEE ) 802. 3 working group.

IEEE 754 defines the precision, p, to be the number of digits in the significand, including any implicit leading bit ( e. g. precision, p, of double precision format is 53 ).

The IEEE Standard 1076 defines the VHSIC Hardware Description Language or VHDL.

The IEEE 1164 standard defines a package design unit that contains declarations that support a uniform representation of a logic value in a VHDL hardware description.

Early 802. 11 products suffered from interoperability problems because the IEEE has no provision for testing equipment for compliance with its standards.

The Forum promotes and certifies compatibility and interoperability of products based on the IEEE 802. 16 standards.

The alliance tests for interoperability and certifies products based on HomePlug specifications and IEEE 1901 standards.

Wireless Multimedia Extensions ( WME ), also known as Wi-Fi Multimedia ( WMM ), is a Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification, based on the IEEE 802. 11e standard.

In order to recognize outstanding achievement in improving an organization's ability to create and evolve software-dependent systems, the SEI and IEEE Computer Society created the Software Process Achievement Award program.

For example, a fixed-point representation that has seven decimal digits with two decimal places can represent the numbers 12345. 67, 123. 45, 1. 23 and so on, whereas a floating-point representation ( such as the IEEE 754 decimal32 format ) with seven decimal digits could in addition represent 1. 234567, 123456. 7, 0. 00001234567, 1234567000000000, and so on.

The IEEE 802. 15. 2-2003 standard was published in 2003 and task group two went into " hibernation ".

The services and protocols specified in IEEE 802 map to the lower two layers ( Data Link and Physical ) of the seven-layer OSI networking reference model.

In fact, IEEE 802 splits the OSI Data Link Layer into two sub-layers named Logical Link Control ( LLC ) and Media Access Control ( MAC ), so that the layers can be listed like this:

IEEE 754-1985 represents numbers in binary, providing definitions for four levels of precision, of which the two most commonly used are:

IEEE 802. 2 provides two connectionless and one connection-oriented operational modes:

There are two sets of symbols for elementary logic gates in common use, both defined in ANSI / IEEE Std 91-1984 and its supplement ANSI / IEEE Std 91a-1991.

The standard ( IEEE 802 ) format for printing MAC-48 addresses in human-friendly form is six groups of two hexadecimal digits, separated by hyphens (< tt >-</ tt >) or colons (< tt >:</ tt >), in transmission order

The IEEE Computer Society and the ACM, the two main professional organizations of software engineering, publish guides to the profession of software engineering.

The DQDB standard IEEE 802. 6 was developed while ATM ( Broadband ISDN ) was still in early development, but there was strong interaction between the two standards.

IEEE 802. 15. 4 allows the use of two frequency bands: 868 – 915 MHz using BPSK and at 2. 4 GHz using OQPSK.

In section 6. 2 of the revised IEEE 754-2008 standard there are two anomalous functions ( the maxnum and minnum functions that return the maximum of two operands that are expected to be numbers ) that favor numbers — if just one of the operands is a NaN then the value of the other operand is returned.

The two organizations formally merged as the IEEE on January 1, 1963.

IEEE 802. 3ah, ratified in 2004 added two more gigabit fiber standards, 1000BASE-LX10 ( which was already widely implemented as vendor specific extension ) and 1000BASE-BX10.

He published a classical paper on negative feedback amplifier in 1934, which has been re-printed in the Proceedings of IEEE two times in 1984 and 1999 Inside his 1934 classical paper " Stabilized feed-back amplifiers ", he mentioned Harry Nyquist's work on stability criterion because a negative feedback amplifier can be unstable and oscillate.

* Class of service ( CoS ), a 3 bit field within a layer two Ethernet frame header defined by IEEE 802. 1p

" The two groups finally joined forces in 1963, forming what is known today as the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers ( IEEE ).

SIGCOMM also produces two refereed journals, Computer Communication Review ( which appears quarterly ), and IEEE / ACM Transactions on Networking, which appears bi-monthly ( the latter co-sponsored with IEEE ).

Health effects related to short-term, high-level exposure have been established and form the basis of two international exposure limit guidelines ( ICNIRP, 1998 ; IEEE, 2002 ).

Negotiations about merging the two organizations started that year and continued until a new joint organization, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ( IEEE ) was established in 1963.

Mobile WiMAX Release 2 ( also known as WirelessMAN-Advanced or IEEE 802. 16m ) and LTE Advanced ( LTE-A ) are IMT-Advanced compliant backwards compatible versions of the above two systems, standardized during the spring 2011, and promising speeds in the order of 1 Gbit / s.
