802.21 Neigbor Report
Hi Vivek and all,
I have some questions regarding the conclusion of your presentation
about Neighbor Reports. It says:
1) Media Independent Neighbor Reports can only support Static
capabilities of different PoAs
>> That means you want to use Information Service for Neighbor Reports,
because only Static Info can be embeded
In IS messages ??
2) Access Network specific Neighbour Reports can provide insight into
more Dynamic information
Statistics, Resource levels, State information
>> If an entity in the network (an MME for instance) has to retrieve
dynamic info about a particular UE's neighbor PoAs, Access Network
specific Neighbour Reports won't make it to the MME, because
transmission of such reports is inherently limited to the access network
broadcast domain. Some means of transporting these Access Network
specific neighbor reports to the MME are then needed. Wouldn't it be the
task of 802.21 to specify such a means ?
If we don't specify this, don't we restrain the possible location of an
MME to the Access Network ?
I know we have discussed that before, but as you made this new
presentation, I take the opportunity to solve this issue.
Regards,
Mathieu
