Full title and description

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) — Communications Access for Land Mobiles (CALM) — Mobile Wireless Broadband applications using communications in accordance with IEEE 802.20. This International Standard specifies options appropriate for CALM using mobile wireless broadband (MWB) techniques conforming to the IEEE 802.20 air interface and protocol specification and defines the associated management interface requirements.

Abstract

ISO 29283:2011 defines how CALM systems may use IEEE 802.20 (MBWA) techniques for quasi-continuous, prolonged and short-duration communications between vehicles, roadside infrastructure and other ITS entities over medium and long ranges. It specifies management interface requirements and provides required regional variations while omitting application-specific upper layers, which are left to application standards.

Scope

Specifies the options and management interface requirements for CALM implementations that use mobile wireless broadband techniques conforming to IEEE 802.20 (as recommended by ITU‑R M.1801). It addresses link types and behaviours needed by ITS use cases (vehicle-to-infrastructure, vehicle-to-vehicle, and mobile-to-fixed) over medium and long ranges and provides for regional variations; it does not define application-layer protocols.

Key topics and requirements

• Support for IEEE 802.20 (MBWA) air interface options and modes relevant to ITS CALM use.
• Management interface requirements to allow ITS station management to control and monitor the MWB communications medium.
• Definition of link types (quasi-continuous, prolonged and short-duration) and operational expectations for vehicle, roadside and fixed-point communications.
• Provision for regional variations and selection/adoption of suitable extant standards where practicable.
• Exclusion of application-specific upper layers (application profiles and payloads are handled by application standards).

Typical use and users

Used by ITS system architects, vehicle manufacturers, telematics and roadside-equipment vendors, radio/network equipment suppliers, test and conformance laboratories, traffic-management authorities and standards bodies implementing or evaluating CALM-based MWB solutions. It is primarily a technical reference for designers and integrators working on ITS communications layers and management interfaces.

Related standards

Part of the CALM family of ITS communications standards. Commonly referenced standards include ISO 21217 (ITS station and communication architecture), ISO 21218 (access/ hybrid communications support), ISO 13183 (CALM using broadcast communications) and ISO 29282 (CALM — satellite networks). It also references the IEEE 802.20 family and ITU‑R Recommendation M.1801 for MWB radio-interface recommendations.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 29283:2011 is an International Standard specifying options and management-interface requirements for using mobile wireless broadband (IEEE 802.20 / MBWA) techniques within the CALM framework for intelligent transport systems.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the MWB air-interface options conforming to IEEE 802.20 as applicable to CALM, management interface behaviour, link types for ITS communications (vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and mobile-to-fixed) and required regional variations; it does not define application-layer protocols.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: ITS architects, vehicle and roadside equipment manufacturers, telematics vendors, network and radio equipment suppliers, test laboratories, traffic authorities and standards developers involved in ITS communications.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The standard was published in February 2011 (Edition 1). According to ISO the publication was last reviewed and confirmed in 2018 and that version remains current (ISO review status). Users should check ISO/TC 204 publications for any later revisions or withdrawals when implementing.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one document within the CALM family of ITS communications standards produced by ISO/TC 204; related parts address architecture, other access technologies (hybrid/access support), broadcast and satellite media, and service access points.
