TIA Publishes New Wideband Air Interface Coding Standard

The Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA) published a new standard for digital radio as part of the Public Safety Wideband Data Standards Project. The new standard is called the Wideband Air Interface Isotropic Orthogonal Transform Algorithm (IOTA) Radio Channel Coding (CHC) Specification. Radio channel coding is a function in the wideband air interface (WAI) between the MAC/RLA sublayer and the modulation in the physical layer. Radio channel coding is present in all radios in a system with a WAI. The radio channel coding functions are used to maximize data throughput and minimize delay through the error-prone WAI.
