IEEE 802.21 Mobility Services Framework Design
RFC 5677, “IEEE 802.21 Mobility Services Framework Design”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2009 by T. Melia, G. Bajko, S. Das, N. Golmie, JC. Zuniga. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a mobility services framework design (MSFD) for the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) protocol that addresses identified issues associated with the transport of MIH messages. The document also describes mechanisms for Mobility Services (MoS) discovery and transport-layer mechanisms for the reliable delivery of MIH messages. This document does not provide mechanisms for securing the communication between a mobile node (MN) and the Mobility Server. Instead, it is assumed that either lower-layer (e.g., link-layer) security mechanisms or overall system-specific proprietary security solutions are used. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
