There are some good points in the message
below. I for one am still unclear on the functionality
in MIH layer. Depending on that we may be able to better
articulate how the upper MIH layer SAP is different than the one at lower
layer. -Vivek From: owner-stds-802-21@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG
[mailto:owner-stds-802-21@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG] On
Behalf Of I suggest that
the group discuss and agree on the following: * What
'802.21 compliance' means? Normative anything would only apply in such a
context. * Triggers like
Link Up, Down etc. are being defined on the MAC SAP following principles
mentioned below. I am still unclear what this MIH layer really delivers. Before
arguing over that SAP being normative or not, the group ought to agree on the
precise definition, interpretation and compatibility assumptions for the MIH layer.
It does not
seem appropriate or necessary to imply a certain specific implementation
strategy for upper layer protocols (consumers/sources of .21 information).
Maybe this is where folks are confused over what MIH is and isn't. Once that is
sorted out, details such as what the MIH SAP is, what's normative across it
etc. should become obvious. -Prakash |
