RE: stds-802-16-mobile: Handoff document



As was mentioned at the meeting and as Itzak is implying, we need to be careful with our terminology.  “Hard” and “Soft” handoffs have specific meanings in the mobile industry.  We should adopt the same.

Dear Avi and all,

 

I agree with Avi.

 

I thought that "soft" and "hard" terms should be provided with relevant context in order to prevent

misinterpretation of the terms.

The items 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 were a way to insert the "soft" and "hard" HO as given by Vladimir Yanover in C80216e-03/01

without stating the explicitly "soft" and "hard" terms.

 

There was no explicit decision to exclude soft handoff, and I think that considering soft handoff is relevant and should be made,

by providing with it the relevant context.

Dear Handoff ad-hoccers

 

I have been looking at the document Itzik had complied.  I haven't seen any mentioning of the possibility of soft handoff.  Was there any decision to exclude it?  Soft handoff is not necessarily CDMA, you know, and it might provide an advantage.
