RE: [802.21] MIH commands for handover
Hi Anurag,
The design principle was to not provide a handover control 
protocol. There are many flavors of those and 802.21 should provide services 
that can fit with and in any handover scenario. There is no implicit assumption 
or implication that FMIPv6 is used. The use of addresses, as you suggest, 
provides a partial replacement for FMIPv6, but is not needed if a different 
mobility management protocol like PMIP is used. Further, you are tying 802.21 
with access router functionality, while this is not an excluded it is not the 
orly architectural model how 802.21 can be deployed. Further, the handover 
commands defined here are not mandatory to be used in a certain sequence. One 
can use these to get the services required for that specific scenraio and 
continue on with a different protcol.

Hi  Srini, 
Yes you are correct. This is not a moto of 802.21 but can 
we say it is the mazor functioanlity or the achivement to facilitate the 
entities to know prior information of different networks with out attaching to 
the network. 
But in practical 
scenarios for multiple interfaces generally (discussed technologies like WLAN, 
WiFi, WiMax etc) most of the time handset will fall on over lap condition there 
only FMIPv6 can solve the fast handover and then MIpv6 will further take place. 
We will not go back to the discussion of requirement. 
My concern was here why should we follow the FMIPv6 
messages which we can't use for PMIPv6 further like michal concern. Bcoz we have 
multiple interface which will give us a liberty to do the L2 Authentication 
prior to switch to L3 messages. So for such kind of reasons if we can enhance 
the MIH message TLV as i or sanjib had  given for replacing example for 
FMIPv6. Depending on MIH USER we can directly use MIH commands without wrapping 
in to some different protocol messages. 
One more thing i want to bring out here that we are not asking to change 
the command as per the concern of so many people of mailing list to make fix 
size of TLV. I am started thinking of limitation of these messages , It will be 
good if we can use IP addresses in these commands. Otherwise IS handler we need 
to implement in all the entities (like ARs, or ACRs) which is not required. Only 
having in PSS or MN can solve the porpose.

Hello 
Anurag and Sanjib,
The intention of the MIH handover command is not to 
replace FMIP signaling, but to complement FMIP in aspects that are not present 
in FMIP. The assumption of MIH as a handover control protocol is not valid, but 
it is provides services for facilitating/aiding hanadovers with the assumption 
that there is a different handover control protocol. There is no reason to spin 
the wheels and redo a published and validated protocol again in 
802.21.
Regards,
Srini

Dear Jing n All ,
As per your concern about the DAD. It 
has already taken care. You are just
considering the predictive situation, 
BUT we had thought predictive and
reactive both a, b cases.
(a) able to 
send  fast binding update PAR and information Reached to NAR
and 
confirmation has received by PAR but not MN
(b) information has  not 
reach to NAR.
Sanjib query is relate to extend the command with some 
IPaddress related
TLV.
MIH_MN_HO_Candidate_Query.request 
(
DestinationIdentifier,
CurrentLinkIdentifier,
CandidateLinkList,
QueryResourceList,
CandidatePoAList,
CandidateNwAddrList, 
       /*Access router?s addresses  or a 
single
address of NAR*/
MN_NCoAList,           
         /*List of NCoA as per Target n/w prefix 
or
a single NCoA*/
)
MIH_MN_HO_Complete.request (
    
          
 DestinationIdentifier,
LinkIdentifier,
HandoverStatus,
PreviousARAddress 
       /*PAR?s IP 
Address*/
PreviousCoA
NewCoA
)
If every body is ok with such 
changes, we will go ahead with 
our
assumptions.

Re: 
[802.21] MIH commands for 
handover
Hello?Sanjib
  I agree your idea 
using MIH messages to carry some MMP(mobility
management protocol) 
information during handover procedure. But the
implementation method you 
proposed may exist some problems. From the chart
we can see MN can generate 
the NCoA from the available prefix info
obtained from IS Server, then MN 
sends these configured NCoAs to all
candidate NARs existed in each candidate 
networks to make Duplicate
Address Detection. After duplicity checking, PAR 
in serving network will
create the tunnel with these candidate NARs for 
sending the packets. So
these steps such as NCoA configuration?duplicity 
checking and tunnel
building work with all candidate networks, that will 
increase the spending
of network resources.
  I suggest whether we 
can do these works after network decision, namely
once the target network is 
chosen, MN can generate the NCoA only for
target NCoA in target network, and 
sends this NCoA to the target NAR by
MIH_MN_HO_Commit.request and 
MIH_N2N_HO_Commit.request messages. Target
NAR will make duplicity checking 
after receiving these messages, and
return the result of DAD to PAR in 
serving network. Then PAR will create
the tunnel with the target NAR. This 
will save network resources and
enhance the efficiency of 
handover.
regards,
     Jing
