  1. Why design 802 Handovers Charlie Perkins May 5, 2014

  2. 802 Wireless increases dominance • 802 Wireless *already* dominates, and that’s before full deployment of 802.11ac, not to mention HEW • Mobile World congress delegates prefer it • Almost everyone prefers 802 whenever it’s available, and availability continues to improve • Bottom line: Should not design *only* for LTE

  3. Importance of handovers • Better user experience • Process control depends on close timing (IoT) • VR • Enable choice of lowest-power or least expensive AP / basestation • Better for VoIP, Skype, etc… • Should also include 802  802 handovers

  4. Local signaling • Handover performance improves when all signaling is local • Localized signaling and keying have already been worked out in IETF, in a practically media-independent fashion • Crucial component, rarely made available, is localized security • Preregistration can be very helpful

  5. Risk factors against 802 wireless • Cellular prices could drop another factor of 10 • Cellular speeds could increase, but hard to imagine really competing with 802 speeds • 802 wireless unlicensed band could be too noisy or unfriendly or poorly utilized • HEW may well deprecate 802.11b • “No business case” • Range too small  uneconomical wide-area coverage
