IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handovers
IEEE 802.11u (Inter-working with External Networks)
This presentation will give an overview of IEEE 802.21 (Media Independent Handover) services and how these services aid in optimizing handovers across different 802 networks and between different 802 networks and cellular networks. The presentation will look into different aspects of achieving seamless mobility and will outline the role of 802.21 in overall solution. Ongoing related activities in other industry forums would also be covered. The presentation will cover different use cases where this emerging standard is applicable and how voice, video and data applications can take advantage of these services. The presentation will describe engagements of IEEE 802.21 with other 802 groups (802.11u, 802.16g) and also with other external standard bodies and alliances such as (IETF, 3GPP and FMCA).
