Issues and possible solutions (1) • NAR is resolved by PAR with the New AP LLA • In 3G networks, New AP LLA is not used • Handover assist information should be used • The length of the LLA Option is in units of 8 octets • Length of handover assist information may be information-specific-> the LLA option needs extension... • New Option-Code is defined in the LLA option to convey handover assist information 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length | Option-Code | LLA... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Issues and possible solutions (2) • How FNA should be implemented? • PPP replaces FNA (FNA elimination) • Always checks if buffer exists • New IPCP option for FNA (L2 implementation ) • Checks if buffer exists when this option is received • FNA in RFC4068 is used (standard FNA)
Reactive fast handover • Reactive mode may be more realistic when it is difficult to identify NAR in advance • Reactive mode may cause more packet loss • Optionally, PAR may buffer packets to offer loss less handover • FBU or lower-layer signaling can be used to trigger buffering

Selective bi-casting HA • Following cases are considered: • multiple/single IF(s) • bicasting at PAR/HA • Use cases for 4 combinations and details are illustrated PAR NAR BS BS MN
Summary • Implement fast handovers in 3G CDMA networks • specify information that can be used as handover assist information • define mechanism to determine NAR from handover assist information • enhancing reactive fast handover • optimizing performance by buffering and bi-casting
