Title : An IAPP-Mobile IP reference interworking protocol
Author(s) : S. Jamadagni, R. Vidhya
Filename : draft-satish-iapp-mip-00.txt
Pages : 9

With WLAN hotspots becoming more wide spread, there is growing interest
among cellular service providers in WLAN-Cellular interworking/roaming
architectures. Service providers are looking at deployment of
interworking heterogeneous wireless access points. There is also a
growing breed of terminals trying to build a capability to roam
between 3G and 802.xx technologies. Working groups within IETF and
IEEE 802.21 are involved in defining seamless roaming standards.
802.21 is attempting to define roaming standards not just from one
802-based network to another, but also between 802-based networks
and 3G cellular network. Support for handoff between heterogeneous
wireless networks is becoming vital. Mobile IP has always been the
macro network mobility protocol of choice where as the IAPP - Inter
Access Point Protocol (802.11f) has been recommended as the roaming
protocol between 802.11 access points.
This draft suggests a mechanism of supporting handoff between IAPP
supported 802.xx devices and 3G packet core networks.

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.
