Re: [STDS-802-16-MOBILE] [Handoff] Location Update issue



Yong Chang and all,

I am sorry Yong Chang, but it is not clear to me from your email what the
problem statement is and what the proposed alternative solutions are.  While
we have been discussing this directly and I am aware of your proposal, I
thought that, given that it is difficult for me to decipher your proposal
from the email, others might be similarly confused.  Perhaps you could
clarify your presentation.

Thanks,
Phil
