Description / Abstract:
General
This standard provides link-layer intelligence and other related
network information to upper layers to optimize handovers between
heterogeneous networks. This includes media types specified by
Third Generation (3G) Partnership Project (3GPP), 3G Partnership
Project 2 (3GPP2), and both wired and wireless media in the IEEE
802 family of standards, and downlink-only (DO) media such as
Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), Terrestrial Digital Multimedia
Broadcasting (T-DMB) and Advanced Television Systems Committee -
Mobile/Handheld (ATSC-M/H). In this standard, unless otherwise
noted, media refers to the method/mode of accessing a
telecommunication system (e.g., cable, radio, satellite), as
opposed to sensory aspects of communication (e.g., audio,
video).
