RE: [DNA-BOF] Signal Quality for MIP handoffs

[NJEDJOU Eric FTRD/DMR/REN <eric.njedjou@francetelecom.com>]

Dear Stefan,

The DNA Working Group charter specifies the production of a catalog of
L2 hints document as part of its milestones. This document is apparently
intended to provide implementors with information available from a sets
of wireless technologies and that can assist in the process of detecting
attachment to a network.

However, the doument when available (see draft-yegin-dna-l2-hints-00.txt
for a preliminary attempt) could be a start for another document
catloguing l2 hints for such purposes as MIP handoffs, as can be the
signal quality hint. As far as i uunderstand, dna will not be home to
this last work. Still, it will be required!
Hope this help
