Title: [STDS-802-16-MOBILE] [Handoff] Scrub of pending contributions against mobility scenarios/categories

Based on a scan of all the pending contributions to date, following is a summary of how they line up against different handover categories/scenarios.

Multiple contributions on the same line and highlighted are ones that appear to be addressing the same problem and would need to be harmonized.

Also note that contribution file names are partial. They were either deferred/rejected in Shenzhen or more recently uploaded to the Handoff temporary directory.

Scenario: Inter-sector HO where BS ID of serving and target BS is assumed to be the same:
(Diff. freq, same FFT size, same IP subnet/prefix, no AAS)
* Method to reduce number of scanning (doc on temporary storage directory)

Scenario: Inter-sector HO where it does not matter if serving and target BS ID are same or different:
(Diff. freq, same FFT size, same IP subnet/prefix, no AAS)

* 04/87r1, 04/105_enhanced HO reentry

* 105_Inter-sector HO, 04/58

* 04/48

* 04/75r2

* Phil Barber's proposed contribution on MSS Context Manager ID and definitions of sector ID and FA ID

Scenario: Inter-sector HO where serving and target BS ID are assumed to be different:
(Diff. freq, same FFT size, same IP subnet/prefix, no AAS)
* 04/55, 04/105-MSS Release after completing initial network entry, Phil Barber's proposed contributions - invited ranging, skipping SBC-REQ/RSP, skip PKM REQ-RSP, skip REG REQ/RSP, skip IP addrress acquisition

* 04/57

* 04/76r2

* 04/61

* 04/65

* 04/50r1

* 04/51r1

* A method for scanning neighbor BSs periodically, 04/105-Proposal for fast timing synchronization in OFDMA, BS initiated HO with early scanning, 04/74

Scenario: Different FFT size between sectors (same or different BS ID):
No contributions to date

Scenario: Multiple frequencies per sector (same or different BS ID):
No contributions to date

Scenario: Different IP subnet/prefix (Serving and Target BS IDs are assumed to be different):
* 04/90r2, 04/68r2, Phil Barber's proposal - Add ARID

Scenario: Optimization of Idle Mode during HO:
* 04/108

* 04/66

* 04/28r1

* 04/105 - Complementing Idle Mode handover operations

Scenario: HO where MSS and/or BS has AAS support (Serving and Target BS ID are assumed to be different):
* 04/110 - NOTE: This contribution proposes a PHY change

Scenario: Soft HO (Serving and Target BS ID are assumed to be different):
* 04/105 Soft HO defintion and requirements

Scenario: Fast Cell Selection:
* 04/117, 04/60r1

Scenario: Improving cell search when mobile (Serving and Target BS ID are assumed to be different):
* 04/115

Scenario: Support for multicast services:
* 04/69 (MBS)

Protection of backbone messages (out of scope?):
* 04/52
