Key Issue NW Discovery & Selection (NW-DS)(Excerpt from TR 23.882) • It is necessary to optimize NW-DS procedures for frequent mobility events. • It is desirable that the concept for NW-DS in SAE supports effective means for minimizing processing. • Looking at the currently defined NW-DS principles for I-WLAN in TS 23.234 it becomes clear that they cannot be extended for time critical handovers and for other RATs, due to complexity and latency: • per available WLAN access NW a scan/probe has to be performed • if a WLAN AN is connected to more than one 3GPP NW this is only detected after L2 association and trying authentication. It is therefore necessary to develop or adopt new, more efficient mechanisms, for both idle and active mode (where this differentiation is applicable). • Solutions may be based on concepts developed in other fora (e.g. IEEE 802.11u, IEEE 802.21, IETF) or based on concepts defined by 3GPP (e.g. provision of specific databases). Further mechanisms are FFS. When selecting solutions, the amount of signalling, size of stored and transferred data, especially over the radio interface, and terminal power consumption shall be taken into account.
