  • **How it all startedRogers Email: Feb 2003From: Roger B. Marks [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 03:29 PM To: [email protected]: stds-802-handoff: Call for Interest on "IEEE 802 Handoff Mechanism" for March Dear 802 Handoff Reflector:The 802 Handoff Call for Interest has been scheduled for 6-7:30 pm on Tuesday March 11.Based on discussions I have had, I believe that there is interest in this topic. However, the reflector has been quiet, and no one has volunteered any input or commented on my proposed agenda (see below).So, please let me know (preferably via the reflector):*Do you think that 802 ought to be thinking about a common handoff approach? *Is it time to start a Study Group? *Would you attend the Call for Interest? *Would you want to be a presenter at the Call for Interest? *If so, what would you say?Roger

  • **Problems.Incorrect Network SelectionAbility of a device to choose its connection was hopeless. You could often connect at L2, but not at the network layer. The PC would often connect to the wrong one of many available APs, based on signal strength criteria alone.Increasing number of interfaces on devices Problem could extend to cover multiple interfaces.Various fast handover mechanisms in IETF MIPv4, FMIPv6IETF anticipated L2 constructs in standardized form Triggers, events, hints etc, but 802 was not providing them in a standard form or a media independent form

  • **Initial Thinking..Develop common standard across 802 mediaDefine L2 Triggers to make FMIP work wellDefine media independent information to enable my laptop to detect and select networks effectivelyDefine a way to transport this information and these triggers over all 802 mediaCFI with some initial slides : http://www.ieee802.org/21/archived_docs/Documents/802_Handoff_CFIr1.pdf

    NoCommand NameMIHF MIHFDescription1MIH Handover InitiateClient Network Initiates handovers and sends a list of suggested networks and suggested PoA (AP/BS).2MIH Handover PrepareNetwork Network This command is sent by MIHF on old network to MIHF on suggested new network . This allows the client to query for resources on new network and also allows to prepare the new network for handover3MIH Handover CommitClient NetworkIn this case the client commits to do the handover based on selected choices for network and PoA.4MIH Handover CompleteClient NetworkNetwork Network This is a notification from new network PoA to old network PoA that handover has been completed, new PoA has been established and any pending packets may now be forwarded to the new PoA.
