4. Pre-Registration over L3 tunnel
E.g., WiMAX SFF (Signaling Forwarding Function) performs target BS (Base Station) operations while the MS is located in non-WiMAX Access network
MAC messages transfer over L3 tunnel
Pre-registration toward target WiMAX network
IP Core Network

7. Phase-1: SR Target Network Detection and WiMAX SFF Discovery
Note: Figure from DCN and
the Information Service query is added by referencing DCN

8. Comments for Phase 1
Complete network discovery phase is not specified in 3G IWK document
SFF Discovery
+ Information of available access networks, Information about interworking and roaming aspects
The DHCP and DNS procedures for “SFF IP address discovery” are not required in case where Information Server provides SFF IP address to MS through MIH_Information_Response as per DCN
