21-06-xxxx Multi-interfaced Device under Overlapped Coverage Network 3 (UMTS) Network 2 (WiMAX) Network 1 (WiFi hot-spot) Soon to become a common scene
21-06-xxxx Pre-establishing IP Connectivity before handover Network 3 (UMTS) Network 2 (WiMAX) Network 1 (WiFi hot-spot) Pre-establish IP connections to potential handover target networks. Use the current connection to save battery and RF resources. A pre-established IP connection will be activated if a handover to that network actually happens and a sub- IP layer connection is set up. Shortens handover delay. When the mobile moves out of a coverage, the pre- established IP connection to that network will be removed.
21-06-xxxx Pre-authentication and pre-authorization Some work has started in IETF - AAA authentication/Authorization for target Authenticator while session is in progress on the serving Authenticator. - IETF 65th HOAKEY BOF (Yoshihiro Ohba) How can facilitate this? Passing AAA contact address of neighbor networks thru MIH IS? etc. Pre-allocation of a valid IP address (and other IP layer parameters) How can facilitate this? Passing IP Address Configuration methods of neighbor networks thru MIH IS; Passing DHCP contact address from the neighbor networks through MIH IS if DHCP is used; etc. What else can provide? Whats needed to pre-establish an useful IP connectivity?
