[STDS-802-16-MOBILE] Harmonization of
Hello all,
I have uploaded document named "C802.16e-04_87r2" to the handoff ad hoc
upload directory.
It is my attempt to harmonize documents "C802.16e-04_105_Enhanced
Handover Re-entry" and "C802.16e-04_87r1"
I have used the descriptive text of C802.16e-04_87r1 and added
informative and normative definitions of Communication shared levels
concepts from "C802.16e-04_105_Enhanced Handover Re-entry"
One point though, I don't agree with the concept which was presented at
C802.16e-04_105_Enhanced Handover Re-entry of changing the RNG-REQ
message and adding to it TLVs with different processes.
I think that such approach breaks communalities of MAC behavior with TGd
and other MAC state machines.
The approach that was taken is to clearly define the communication
sharing level, and which procedure is required according to the working
level.
The optimization of the process is done in two levels; first, all the
network entry messages may be transmitted in a consecutive way, in one
frame (assuming to have enough allocation from the BS).
Second, according to the sharing level, some of the network entries may
be skipped. I agree that this adds additional MAC behavior, but it does
it in a high level and not changes the local behavior per process (e.g.
state machine).
I did not receive any additional inputs from Phil and Jung-Won Kim, and
I'm using this medium to seek for comments from the entire ad hoc group.
Thanks,
Itzik.
