Key Messages to Take Away (1) 802.21 Already provides support for handovers between bidirectional link technologies (e.g. 802.16, 802.11, Cellular) New SG created in 802.21 to address the case when handover is made from/to unidirectional (e.g. downlink only) technologies

Possible Approach for 802.21 MIH Function MIH Function DL-only Network 3GPP / 3GPP2 Network MIH Function 802 Network MIH Users 802 Interface Mobile Node DATA 3GPP/ Interface Higher Layer Transport Legend MIH Message Transport MIH Local Interface MGMT DL-only Interface (e.g. DVB) MIH Higher Layer Users Transport MIH Function DL-only Network (e.g. DVB)

Key Messages to Take Away (2) Converged devices including both types of technologies already exist This is a market opportunity for 802.16 – WiMAX !! E.g. SK Telecom in Korea has both WiBro and DMB networks

Next Steps Finish PAR/5C and get it approved by Form a new TG in 802.21 to amend the baseline specification to support handovers with downlink-only technologies
