National Performance Benchmarking Program Work Session

AGENCY: Institute for Telecommunications Sciences, National 
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Department of 
Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of work session.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Institute for Telecommunications Sciences (ITS) at NTIA 
and the Computer Science Laboratory (CSL) at the National Institute of 
Standards and Technology (NIST) announce a work session targeted at 
defining a National Wireless Performance Benchmarking Program to 
identify common approaches for measuring the performance of wireless 
communications systems or components. This work session is directed at 
technical decisionmakers involved in wireless systems. Its purpose is 
to gather information on industry needs that will enable NTIA, NIST, 
independent laboratories, and the wireless industry to develop and 
provide performance measures to promote the development and consumption 
of wireless products and services. This information will be used to 
plan the joint National Wireless Performance Benchmarking Program.

DATES: The work session is scheduled as follows:
    1. August 16, 1994, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
    2. August 17, 1994, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

2930 (telephone) or [phone] (fax).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Space is limited and early registration is 
encouraged. Participants are expected to provide, one day in advance, a 
one-page technical position statement on requirements for a national 
wireless performance benchmarking program. Statements will be used by 
NTIA and NIST to identify common areas for discussion at the work 
session.
