Media Independent Handover 802.21 Tutorial 移动IP技术 教学课件.pptVIP

The scope of the IEEE 802.21 standard is to develop a specification that provides link layer intelligence and other related network information to upper layers to optimize handovers between heterogeneous media. This includes links specified by 3GPP, 3GPP2 and both wired and wireless media in the IEEE 802 family of specifications. Agenda Vision of Mobility Transition across Networks Media Independent Handovers Event service Information service Use case A Mobile Lifestyle and Mobility Trends Emerging Standards for Mobility Need for Transition or Handovers…. Terminal mobility across networks Changes in user environment make one link more attractive than another Homogeneous Transitions Transitions within the single network Handled by respective access technology standards Heterogeneous Transitions Transitions across different networks 802.21 addresses Mobility across Heterogeneous Networks Services of “L2.5” Events Location There are generally three variants of locating a mobile client Absolute: Client-centric position Determined by client coordinates or references to APs/cells Absolute: Triangulation through the Infrastructure Relative To the cell/AP – as assessed by infrastructure The popular methods are the latter two These approaches call for use of network-centric trigger Cross-network Triggers What is the scope of Triggers? Applications are interested in events that may occur from anywhere within a roaming domain (ESS, e.g.) Applications may also be interested in source of event For location services Emergency location resolution Load-balancing High availability To make Handover meaningful to seamless Mobility across a homogeneous roaming domain triggers should be uniquely identifiable in a domain L2.5 should be conducive for realization in and across multiple network access points A Trigger Reference Model Triggers are asynchronous events delivered as Alerts/alarms: push-model Monitored (polled): pull-model Events and Consumers Consumers register with “L2.5
