| Hi Srini, As we all know, the main idea of FMIP is to configure the
nCoA MN over the old link before handover, so that the MN can use this new CoA
when it attaches to the new AR, which would reduce part of L3 latency. Yet
the MN still can't send FNA message to NAR until it establishes L3 connection.
Because IETF focuses on Layer 3, what it do can't beyond the scope of layer 3.
FMIP does help to reduce some L3 latency. But it doesn't exclude other
method to perform handover optimization. If we think of carrying some IP layer information in L2
(L2.5) message, L3 mobility management procedure and L2 mobility management
procedure could be carried out concurrently, which would reduce total latency
obviously. Actually, in current 802.21, there are some MIH messages which
contain IP layer information. B.R. Yan

        Hi Yan, Please go through draft-ietf-mip4-fmipv4-06.txt or RFC 4068 on how the procedure
        works. New CoA and New AR/FA info can be provided over the serving link
        (old) in ProxyRtrAdv before L2 connection has to be established on new
        link. If you want to do the same thing again in MIH, please explain
        why.   Regards, Srini 
 Hi Srini, Usually, MN can't begin L3 mobility
        management procedure until it attaches to the target
        network.    So the total handover latency is
        the sum of L2 latency and L3 latency, which can be described with the
        following equation:        
                   
            T = L2 latency + L3 latency   If L2 message is allowed to carry some
        IP layer information, some L3 function (i.e. configuration,
        conflict detection and tunnel management etc.) can be performed before
        the completion of L2 handover, which would reduce the total handover
        latency obviously. Ideally, it can be reduced to the bottom limit:                         
        T = max {L2 latency, L3 latency}  I don't think it's
        redundant, restrictive and conflicting IMHO. On the
        contrary, it's a feasible way to perform cross-layer
        optimization.  B.R. Yan

                Hi,Srini,      Yes,
                current IP Fast handover procedures have own messages, they do
                not work on any the link specific information which can be
                useful in handovers. But since the IP Fast handover procedure
                happened before MN attached target network, and IEEE 802.21
                purpose is prepare for handover, why we cannot use the existing
                MIH messages to carry some IP information such as IP address and
                so on to finish configuration, conflict detection and tunnel
                management in advance, thus it may reduce some signalings
                spending(such as FBU, HI, HAck, FBack messages in FMIP
                protocol), and accelerate handover completion? I just think
                it maybe a feasible method.    Regards,

                  behind this, I can say that the IP Fast handover procedures
                  are defined with exactly the same goals in mind - to reduce
                  the service disruption to under 150ms. The IETF WG have
                  carefully identified and worked with everything related to IP
                  layer and above -  IP addresses, conflicts,
                  configuration, tunnel management and so on in the respective
                  protocols. But they do not work on any the link specific (L2)
                  information which can be useful in handovers. The best value
                  MIH can add is in this area. Anything more, specially IP
                  related information, would be redundant,
                  restrictive and conflicting at best,
                  IMHO.   Regards,Srini
   
 
 Hi
                  Michael,Srinivas,All
 Of
                  cource, MIH User may be different mobility management
                  protocol.
 For MIP protocol,such as
                  PMIP$B!"(BHMIP and NetLMM, it implements only after MN
                  attached the target network, so it is outside IEEE 802.21
                  standard.
 Whereas, for fast handover
                  protocol,such as FMIP$B!"(BFast HMIP$B!"(BFast PMIP and so
                  on, it implements before MN attached target network, so we can
                  use MIH commands to finish the procedure of IP address
                  configuration$B!"(Bduplicate address detection and tunnel
                  building during handover preparation, thus it will reduce the
                  handover delay and enhance handover efficiency.
 Different
                  fast handover protocol may need different parameters, whether
                  we may define some latent parameters in optional way in MIH
                  messages, thus in different fast handover protocol it may
                  select different parameters to carry?

 Anurag, Sanjib,
                    All,   Would it be possible to spin
                    these contributions to illustrate .21 services interacting

 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.

 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)

                    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

 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
