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

[Stefan Aust <aust@comnets.uni-bremen.de>]

Dear Eric, dear all!

Thank you for your reply. 

I think if the dna bof wants to define which L2 parameter is available 
the group has to evaluate which parameter is appropriate. Therefore it
may be important to have a discussion about first results of L2/L3
interaction, e.g. to force MIP handoffs. 

I would like to ask the group if there first implementations and/or results
available which uses (generic) L2 information to establish vertical
handoffs.

Thanks again,
Stefan
