Why Support FA CoA? There are carriers that only allow the FA CoA mode of operation –MS is enabled to use FA CoA only; thus, PDIF needs to support FA. Same MS behaviors for both WLAN and 1x –FA CoA is the recommended mode in 1x –If FA is not supported in PDIF, MS handoff from 1x to WLAN would have to support the following additional behaviors: Enable D-bit in RRQ Perform IP-IP encapsulation/decapsulation Less transport overhead compared to CCoA –No IP-IP encapsulation between MS and HA Simper address management than CCoA –PDIF is not required to assign IP addresses to MS in FA CoA; on the other hand, PDIF is required to assign an IP address per MS in CCoA. Support dynamic HA/HoA assignment

Recommendation Current baseline: –MS should use CCoA. –FA support in PDIF is optional. Recommendation: –MS may use FA CoA or CCoA. –FA support in PDIF is mandatory. “PDIF shall support the FA CoA mode of operation, and the operator may choose to disable it.”
