Proposed Changes related to MIH
Handovers
 MN initiated handovers.
 Potential Changes
• Mapping response to request?
• Pre-Allocation/Reservation of resources?
• Add new N2N handover commit message?

Changing MN Initiated Handover
(proposal)
 Draft: ask network about the availability of its resources.
• Proposal: ask network whether it can support a specific set of
resources. For negative response (i.e. can’t support resources)
the network has the option of returning what it can support.
•
For example, the former asks what flavors of ice cream are available while
the latter asks do you have chocolate, vanilla and strawberry (no, but I can
support chocolate and vanilla).
•
•
•
network reveals minimal information
smaller response size (no need to list every available resource)
allows for more detailed queries (that are relevant to the MN)
•
places more control into the hands of the service provider
• Pros
• Cons
21-07-xxxx-00-0000
Mapping Response to Request (potential
proposal)
 For MIH User to MIH User messages there is no mechanism for mapping the
response to the request. This is because the transaction ID (in the MIH
protocol message header) which maps a response to the request is internal to
the MIHF. Should some form of message/transaction identifier be added to all
MIH handover messages? In fact, should the same value be used for all related
handover messages (i.e. per handover)? Otherwise, how does a Network know
that a particular commit relates to a previous query (if any)?
• Add handover identifier to all MIH User to MIH User related handover
messages
• Pros
•
ability to map response to appropriate request
no need to include fields in the response that were in the request
with pre-allocation/reservation of resources, allows mapping of commit to query
•
?
•
•
• Cons
• Note: if left as an implementation detail then MIH User/MIHF would need to
be implemented by the same party (or at least agree upon an API) since the
MIH_SAP doesn’t contain enough information to map the response to the
request. However, that still doesn’t solve the problem with mapping commit to
query for pre-allocated/reserved resources.
21-07-xxxx-00-0000
Pre-Allocating/Reserving Resources
(potential proposal)
 Provides ability to pre-allocate/reserve resources during N2N
query stage.
• Adds pre-allocate/reserve flag to N2N query message
• Add new N2N_HO_Commit message for candidate
notification
•
•
selected target – prepare for handover
other candidates – cleanup any pre-allocated/reserved resources
•
gives originating network control over when/if resources are preallocated/reserved
eliminate failures for the cases where resources become unavailable between
the time of the query and actual commitment to a handover
• Pros
•
• Cons
•
requires new message to notify candidates as to their selection and whether
they should release any pre-allocated/reserved resources.
