L2 Triggers • Feasibility of handoff timing • Technical aspects of solutions • PAR text • Worked on definitions of problem, scope and PAR • To be completed David Johnston, Intel
Solution Space • Proposed Elements of Solution Include: • Layer 2 Triggers, semantics and interface • Meets needs of mobile IP handoffs but are generally applicable • Handoff decision data • Data accessible to mobile stations to enable good and timely handoff decisions • May include authentication services required, QoS capabilities, upper layer services present, neighbor AP information, vendor proprietary etc. • Needs structure and interface • Potential for backbone signalling (no consensus) • Does not include handoff signalling primitives • Handoff-Req/Handoff-Resp etc. David Johnston, Intel
Targets • Fill out technical issues this session • Consensus on text for PAR & 5C text by end of September Interim • Consensus on Placement Issue by end of September Interim • Submit PAR & Coverletters, Recommendations etc. shortly after September interim David Johnston, Intel
Placement • Correct placement is non obvious • Feedback from SEC sought • 802.1[xy] • For: • May not look out of place in 802.1 • Against: • Predominantly wireless issues not the main focus of 802.1 constituency • Makes Co-location with wireless groups difficult • 802.1 busy with linksec? • 802 WG • For • Suitable co-location can be arranged (11/15/16/20) • Access to higher concentration of relevant expertise • Against • Covers wired and wireless, but wireless is the main problem space. Solving for wireless solves for the general case David Johnston, Intel
