802 Handoff ECSG 802.16 Closing Plenary Report November. 2003 802 Handoff ECSG 802.16 Closing Plenary Report David Johnston david.johnston@ieee.org dj.johnston@intel.com David Johnston, Intel

November. 2003 What We Did This Week Received feedback on PAR and 5 Criteria from 802.1 and 802.16 Performed comment resolution on the PAR and 5 Criteria Approved the PAR and 5 Criteria Spent a long time discussing coupling models in 802-cellular interworking Spent a long time working out how to deal with media specific optimizations David Johnston, Intel

What We Achieved This Week November. 2003 What We Achieved This Week Established a model of working with media groups (802.11, 15, 16 in particular) that would allow media specific optimizations defined in the media group to override generic mechanisms define in the handoff group. Established how GSFIDs fit in the system Narrowed the scope defined in the PAR to be in line with what we want to achieve Approved a PAR and 5 Criteria I got to play at being Roger for a while David Johnston, Intel

November. 2003 Scope & Purpose This standard defines extensible 802 media access independent mechanisms that enable the optimization of handover between heterogeneous 802 systems and may facilitate handover between 802 systems and cellular systems. The purpose is to improve the user experience of mobile devices by facilitating handover between 802 networks whether or not they are of different media types, including both wired and wireless, where handover is not otherwise defined and to make it possible for mobile devices to perform seamless handover where the network environment supports it. These mechanisms may also be useable for handovers between 802 networks and non 802 networks. David Johnston, Intel
