WLANs

This document discusses handover decision criteria for avoiding
deterioration in communication quality during WLAN handover, in
particular at handover initiation. We first describe problems for
handover decision criteria employed by existing mobility management
technologies, such as Mobile IP and mSCTP. We then propose the
number of frame retransmissions as a simple heuristic for handover
decisions and discuss its advantages and disadvantages.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
