Hi All,
I would like to just add my opinion to this discussion.
As far as I can follow the framing of the stanadard, the
initial thought was to provide room for the identifiers
(as already pointed by couple of members). And not to define
the exact content and syntax of the content. I would also
agree with Qiaobing & Yoshi to use already existing standards
for this. I think this is also been implemented in present
draft standard, for eg. operator identifer encoding is taken
from IETF draft geopriv-radius (correct me if I'm wrong).
I think, here experts have invested enough effort to define
the size of 253 bytes for this. May be this would help in
clarifying Phillips concern.
The other concer of Phillip w.r.t. overhead, there are different
filtering mechanism discussions going on also in 802.21 to reduce
the overhead. As Yoshi already mentioned XML do have it in syntax.
And the docment 21-06-0606-01-0000_loc_info_over_tlv.doc do provide
a mechnism for this over TLV.
regards,
Kalyan

At some point overhead is going to be a very large concern, right about time
everyone switches off support for 802.21 because it is a hog.
Don't want to be alarmist, but at some point 802.21 should move this forward
on their agenda and begin dealing with it. 802.21 is in Working Group Letter
Ballot. Now is not necessarily a bad time to work on this matter.
And I am serious about not supporting 802.21 if it is a hog. Many air
interfaces, 802.16 included, spent huge effort reducing the management and
control overhead (to various degrees of arguable success) for the air
interface. They are not going to like having 802.21 coming in with a huge
overhead impact. Time to start thinking of how you are going to 'thin' this
model up.
