RE: [802.21] 802.21: Scope



Intra 802.16 handovers are being addressed in various 802.16TGs and the WiMAX Forum. So I do not see a need for .21 to work on .16 handovers.
If .21 identifies specific deficiencies, then perhaps we can figure out where to add/fix them.

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
