3. 21-05-0813-01-0000 Motivation An example to capture current understanding of MIH interworking with IP mobility signaling Intent is to utilize the flow for following purposes, to identify Any superfluous or mandatory functionality (that lead to inefficiency) Any missing functionality that is required How do we deal with superfluous functionality? May be there are other IP mobility mechanisms that may find it useful But, mechanisms that already has this functionality should not be forced to use it Logical approach is to make them optional for efficient interworking related to known mobility mechanisms Two flows are shown a) MN Initiated b) Network Initiated

8. 21-05-0813-01-0000 Conclusion Some remote MIH HO command signaling can be optimized with use of the necessary MIP signaling by generating local events from MIP (MIH-User) to MIHF Considering this optimization is MIP specific, the use of these MIH commands can be made optional Events or notifications from MIH-User to MIHF is missing, adding this to the MIH functionality is useful
