3. DAIDALOS 21-08-0097-00-00003/11 Converged broadcast/mobile networks bring the need for strong cooperation among different network technologies such as IEEE / 3GPP / 3GPP2 / DVB-H Broadcast technologies have become candidates for handovers as a result of this convergence IEEE 802.21 is currently the most promising approach to enable handovers with broadcast technologies There is a need to study the requirements for IEEE 802.21 to support these type of handovers IEEE 802.21 WG has shown a high interest on working on handovers with broadcast technologies: Straw Poll: Would you like to see the creation of an IEEE 802.21 Study Group for supporting broadcast handovers? Yes 27 No 0 Abstain 8

4. DAIDALOS 21-08-0097-00-00004/11 Move to form an IEEE 802.21 Study Group to examine issues related to supporting handovers with broadcast technologies (ref: IEEE 802.21-08/0089r2), and if necessary create a PAR and five criteria to form a new Task Group." Motion
