[802SEC] Suggested Handoff Content for March 2003 IEEE 802 News Bulletin

["Roger B. Marks" <r.b.marks@ieee.org>]

Mark,

Here is some suggested content regarding the Handoff Study Group:


The SEC created the 802 Executive Committee Study Group on Handoff to 
consider the possibility of developing a standard specifying a common 
handoff framework
applicable to 802 standards, wired and wireless. This decision 
followed a Call for Interest at the March meeting and a tutorial last 
November. If the work proceeds and becomes successful, it could allow 
for devices with interfaces to multiple 802 networks to move from one 
to another without losing high-layer connectivity. David Johnston 
<mailto:dj.johnston@intel.com> was named as Chair.
