Introduction

802.21 aids in inter-technology handover with various usage

scenarios in mind It is also important for 802.21 to provide tools for cellular and

other operators to exercise network control to inter-work andmaximize the resource pool in other access networks

This slide set presents network controlled usage scenarios forInter-technology network selection and HO control as a means tounderstand the importance of such use cases

This is for informational purposes only that can be used to verify

these scenarios are indeed covered under 802.21

802.21 vs Current 3GPP Mechanisms

Access Control/ Network selection:

Currently core functionality of 3GPP networks It is in the interest of several 3GPP parties in keeping access control between

3GPP (access) networks under its control This can be achieved while introducing enablers for seamless inter-technology

mobility using 802.21 802.21 focuses on aiding heterogeneous handoff (I.e. inter-technology handoff

e.g. 3GPP-802.11, 802.11-802.16, etc.) The only intra-technology handoff in scope is inter-subnet/inter-domain handoff for 802.11,

simply because 802.11 does not define it 3GPP/PP2 and 802.16 have their own access selection mechanisms for homogeneous

handoff, and 802.21 does not intend to interfere with that

3GPP-WLAN IW: current Network Selection mechanisms

Based on policies and information stored in UE (SIM) Based on information collected from UE Network has no active role at moment of selection Issue: cumbersome mechanism, requires connecting to a network to decide

whether to connect to the network

802.21 Usage Scenarios for 3GPP

A set of example access system selection scenarios to describe

what can be achieved with 802.21

Scenarios using 802.21 service are split between twodimensions

Network Selection & Handover control

Terminology 3G-PDN: indicates the whole network (including AN and

core network, i.e. up to point where UE gets IP connectivity) MME: Mobility Management Entity

Its a network entity sitting above current 3GPP access (e.g. locatedafter the ISN) in charge of making connectivity decision for networkcontrolled handoff.

MME may incorporate an instance of MIHF

Usage Scenarios for 3G Cellular Network -> IEEE 802.xScenario-A: 3G network is MIH unaware

Scenario-A) MIH unaware serving network (3G),

Emphasis is on enabling network handoff control by home network or thirdparty (e.g. enterprise)

Examples are Visited 3G network not 802.21 aware (no 802.21 specific functions in 3G network)

Visited 3G network has no active control over vertical HO decisions Home network or 3rd party controls the network selection and HO decisions (IS, ES and CS

used)

Usage Scenarios for 3G Cellular Network -> IEEE 802.xScenario-B: 3G network is MIH aware, provides IS, ES & CS

Scenario-B) MIH services provided by serving network (3G),

Emphasis is on enabling network handoff control by network operator (e.g.home) to target access owned by the same operator

Examples are Operator owning multiple access technologies and user belongs to this network Operator has roaming agreements to cover multiple accesses for users from other networks

3G network can control network selection and HO decisions at MME

Usage Scenarios for 3G Cellular Network -> IEEE 802.xScenario-C: 3G network proxies MIH IS services, provides ES and CS

Scenario-C) MIH IS services proxied by serving network (3G)

Emphasis is on enabling network handoff control by network operator (e.g. home) totarget accessed owned by roaming partners Proxy is to access IS from other networks Examples are

Operator has no agreements to cover multiple accesses for roaming users

3G network controls vertical HO decisions
