  1. RRM and WLAN-WWAN handovers Lars Falk Telia Lars Falk, Telia

  2. Background • Several fora work with handover issues between WLAN and WWAN • Even if it is open whether IEEE 802.11 should start active work on such issues, new work items should not prevent them • Most likely it will be the terminal that takes the handover decision • The terminal need information about the link layer Lars Falk, Telia

  3. What could be done within RRM? • Open up link layer specific information to upper layers • Provide an API so that upper layers can request or set specific parameters Lars Falk, Telia

  4. Possible parameters • The following list of parameters (probably far from complete) may be helpful for the terminal when taking a handover decision: • Data rate • Error rate • Delay • Delay jitter • Signal strength • All parameters are relevant for max/min/average and downlink/uplink Lars Falk, Telia

  5. Questions • Is the availability of such parameters at the terminal within the scope of RRM? • Is the creation of an API for setting and requesting various parameters within the scope of RRM? • Is the type of parameters listed within the scope of RRM or should they be more 802.11 specific? Lars Falk, Telia
