Dear Roger,
FYI the 802.21b TG has recently issued a call for proposals.
As explained in the IEEE 802 tutorial, the group will work on solutions to allow transferring sessions between technologies supporting 802.21 (e.g. 802.16/WiMAX) and broadcast technologies (e.g. DVB-H/NGH, DMB, MediaFLO).
I would appreciate if you let the 802.16 Working Group and WiMAX Forum know about it.
Best regards,
Juan Carlos

Subject: 802.21b Broadcast Services - Call for Proposals
CALL FOR TECHNICAL PROPOSALS
The IEEE 802.21b Task Group invites advanced technology proposals addressing Handovers with Broadcast Technologies.
Scope of proposals:
- Mechanisms to help reducing the latency during handovers between heterogeneous access networks that support IEEE 802.21 and Broadcast or Downlink Only (DO) technologies
- Mechanisms to provide information about broadcast services to heterogeneous technologies with IEEE 802.21 MIH protocol exchanges
- Media Independent and Link Dependent Service Access Points definitions
More details are described in the following document:
Best regards,
Juan Carlos Zúñiga
