However…How? {

Needs an anticipation mechanism of mobile host movement basically based on signal strength measurement z

z

11k defines only measurement interface and MIB structure so far How AP candidates information are integrated especially in case of overlay network? Communications Research Laboratory & Mitsubisi Electric

..and How? {

ARs tell their MAC address Each other

Maybe.. {

{

ARs Need protocols to exchange Radio link status information with each other and respective AP links Those could be L2 triggers the 802.21 should provide… z

{

Seems difficult to define generic interface across various radio systems (even within the 802 family)

L2 triggering is not easy! Communications Research Laboratory & Mitsubisi Electric
