Re: [STDS-802-16-MOBILE] Clarification regarding idle mode and paging



Hi Gedon,
 
Could you perhaps be more specific with regards to what periodic messages
you have in mind, on which network protocols.

      Subject: [STDS-802-16-MOBILE] Clarification regarding idle
      mode and paging

      "Idle Mode is intended as a mechanism to allow MSS to become
      periodically available for DL broadcast traffic Messaging
      ..". 

      It seems that the ability of an MSS to determine which type
      of traffic may generate paging is important on a network
      supporting a variety of services - and obviously it is also
      missing in paging definition.

      In a 3GPP network, paging is simple due to limited services
      that might use it (dedicated voice calls and SMS) - this
      service is inherent and explicit in the network. However,
      when moving to a shared services network it is quite
      desirable to be able to determine which types of traffic
      generate paging without requiring specific carrier
      application to register and support the paging.

      This is especially important on data networks where many
      protocols send out periodic messages that the MSS may choose
      to discard while maintaining some degree of availability.

      It seems that defining optional idle mode service flows (with
      classifiers) will provide a simple, flexible and necessary
      amendment to the current paging definition.

      I'd like to hear your thoughts/inputs on this.

      Thanks in advance !
