Re: stds-80220-requirements: Handoff discussion

Title: Handoff discussion
John et al,
       The following are my proposals for the definitions of  the terms active handoff and  idle handoff.

      Active Handoff：The transfer of a user's connection from one Base Station to another (can be the same or different cell) while maintaining or disrupting shortly the ongoing services with the base station.

      Idle Handoff：The transfer of a user's connection from one Base Station to another (can be the same or different cell) while being the idle state or during the idle period of the burst service with the base station.
 
Best Regards,
 
Hao
