Hi all,
a possible answer to question 4 raised by Cheng
Hong
Hi
Vivek,
Thanks
a lot for the document. Sorry I could not make for the teleconf yesterday, but I
got a few questions (sorry if they are already clarified during
teleconf)
1) In
Table 1, what is the use case for event 9 to 11? What is the defintion of
Handoff? Is this a lower layer thing or application layer
thing?
2)
Regarding table 2, in the column of "MIHF<>MIHF", are those indicating
bi-directional relationship or unidirectional? E.g. when it is
"Client<>Network PoA", does it mean "From Client to Network PoA", or
"between Client and Network PoA"?
3) The
table 3, are these intend to be the payload to be carried by the 11 protocol,
or are they the IEs to be defined in 11?
4) In
table 3, item 2, why the 11 network needs to indicate support of other type of
networks,e.g. 16 and GSM, etc. And, is the intension to have all the network
types in the same namespace instead of subgroups,
e.g. 11-subtypes, 16-subtypes, cellular-subtypes...etc?
[Eric Njedjou] You may be connected only to
your .11 interface (with other interfaces shut down) and still want your .11 PoA
to indicate the terminal which are the networks available in the vicinity, so
that you can power up the associated interfaces and later consider those
for handof. of course the .11 PoA would have to gain that knowledge from an
external source. The same would be applicable for
.16
5) In
table 3, item 6, what does this mean? Is this the location of the PoA or the
Terminal? In 11, if this is the terminal location, it may mean a different
requirement on the 11 specification, ie. to provide meansurement capability for
an accurate terminal location.
6)
Table 3, item 7, can this support both IP versions?
7)
Table 3, item 9, for a 11 network, probably the most important type is "Generic
IP Service". Also, not sure about how the "supported" means, e.g. "VPN" has many
types..
