1 Overview Basic Principles High Level Architecture Issues

2 Principles Single radio operation –Dual radio operation should be supported, but is not mentioned in this material. Support bi-directional handoff Support for active handoff for real-time service (such as VoIP) –To maximize handoff performance, session setup (e.g. HRPD session, PPP setup, and CMIP/PMIP binding update) should occur before handoff commences HRPD-WiMAX handoff solution may impact existing infrastructure as little as possible –Minimum change of legacy HRPD networks. –IOS signaling interfaces should be used as much as possible Minimal impact on terminal complexity

Issues CMIP to PMIP handover needs to be studied –PMIP on the WiMAX side Timing of MIP change is still being looked at –Probably only two choices; before or after air interface HO Where is standardization done? –Not many impacts to TSG-A –Only TSG-X? –Where is Tunneling Protocol defined?

Next Steps Samsung will be bringing more detailed call flows to the Hollywood meeting –CMIP/CMIP and CMIP/PMIP We would like to see a skeleton document agreed to so we can begin to bring contributions against it –TSG-A impact may be small –Skeleton documents are being brought to both TSG-A and TSG- X
