RE: [802.21] 802.21: Scope
Vivek,
good question. My understanding is also that the current PAR does not address this. Also, our initial requirements document does not identify this scenario.
However, should there been the need to address this and enough interest, I wonder if 802.21 actually could.

802.21 mostly applies to handovers across heterogeneous technologies such as 802.11, 802.16, etc. and Cellular systems.
However intra 802.11 handovers i.e. handovers between 802.11 ESSs are also within scope of 802.21.
Along similar lines I was wandering if 802.21 also needs to address intra 802.16 handovers (in any form).
Did not see anything specific to that effect in the PAR or 5 Criteria documents, so my initial understanding is "no".
Any clarifications from Chairs or even other folks welcome.
Best Regards
