I believe there is a clear separation of functional requirements between the radio control functions of the WAU, and the Network control and Mobility Management functions in the GK. Would it make everyone happy if we called WAU RAN? For network efficiency the WAU would handle all the Radio link resources at the edges, thereby preventing traffic overloading on the network. > > > Specifically, I have some difficulties with the following: > > 1.

I specifically asked where do we focus, and was told to assume that there will be H.323 wireless sets. And focus only on H.323 terminals, to get the work started.

Re: Issues with H.235

The default behaviour of the compiler we use was not to make it a huge value. We've now included something which makes it treat it as a huge value. If the directive specified is standard then perhaps we should include it in the ASN.1. It is in the form of a comment so presumably compilers that don't understand it will skip it. This should improve interoperability, which, after all, is what standards are all about (or should be!). At least it could be in the implementor's guide.

Hi Everyone: I fully agree with Roelands Marc's comments (along with Roberto Winkler and Simon Binar) that Edgar Martinez's proposal is "mixing all kinds of mobility related functionality in a single, strongly coupled, do-it-all-in-H.323 layer, involving radio access up to H.323 application layer." H.323 mobility problems needs to be addressed in H.323 layer. That is, H.323 is independent of the underlying transport network (e.g., IP, ATM, MAC, radio-access, wireless LAN, etc.). However, H.323 solutions (fixed or mobile) can be implemented over any packet-based network (PBN). In this context , we also produced a terms of reference document (TD-34) in the last SG!6 Q.13 Berlin meeting. Now Roelands's comments also clarify more how H.323 mobility problems need to be addressed. I support almost all the points mentioned by Roelands. Please also see my comments enclosed below. Best regards, Radhika R. Roy AT&T + 1 732 370 2542 rrroy(a)att.com PS: Once the general mobility problems are solved in the H.323 layer, a specific implementation what Edgar Martinez has proposed in the context of the PSTN-radio-access (e.g., WAU) can be addressed very easily (e.g., wireless-PSTN-[WAU]-H.323 [ e.g., IP Network] Mobility). > -----Original Message----- > From: Roelands Marc [SMTP:Marc.Roelands@SIEMENS.ATEA.BE] > Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 1999 10:17 AM > To: ITU-SG16(a)MAILBAG.INTEL.COM > Subject: Re: [Fwd: Re: [Fwd: [Fwd: [Fwd: Re: H.323 mobility first > darft]]] ] > > Hi all, > > I am struggling with some conceptual problems concerning the Annex-H > proposal of Edgar Martinez, feeling that this has some commonality with > the > remarks of Roberto Winkler and Simon Binar on it.

[Roy, Radhika R] Yes, Edgar Martinez's proposal does not separate clearly between the terminal and user mobility. We need to solve problems step-by-step as specified in the terms of reference document (TD-34): 1. Terminal Mobility, 2. User Mobility, and 3. Service Mobility. > 2. Annex-H is supposed to handle user and service mobility, so why would > the > handover problem, as any other terminal mobility related problem, be > handled > here instead of independently in Annex-I? [Roy, Radhika R] Per last SG16 Q.13 Berlin meeting, Annex H will deal with all: 1. Terminal Mobility, 2. User Mobility, and 3. Service Mobility. > 3. Mobility is not an issue in H.323 alone, e.g. consider roaming and > handover for a connection-oriented data application, so why should it be > handled in H.323 on its own? Or put otherwise, is H.323 support really > required on a terminal in order to be able to roam, as a user of some > service, or as a terminal accessing a network? [Roy, Radhika R] H.323 needs to handle roaming and handover in the H.323 layer as well if this is NOT transparent to the H.323 layer. For example, a handover to a "new" connection may cause to release resources to the "old" connection by the GK. The multipoint controller (MC) that has the capability to create new connections while terminating the old one via ad hoc conferencing can be used to provide handover in the H.323 layer (In turn, this may also be coordinated for implementation of the handover in the physical [wireless] layer). > > 4.

Hi all, I am struggling with some conceptual problems concerning the Annex-H proposal of Edgar Martinez, feeling that this has some commonality with the remarks of Roberto Winkler and Simon Binar on it. IMHO, the proposed architecture, and especially the WAU and the GK, are mixing all kinds of mobility related functionality in a single, strongly coupled, do-it-all-in-H.323 layer, involving radio access up to H.323 application layer. Specifically, I have some difficulties with the following: 1. No clear division in terminal and user mobility aspects in the basic H.323 architecture is taken as a starting point: shouldn't there be specified somewhere in general, in conjunction with the H.323 set of protocols, that IP addresses represent terminals in an IP network, and that users can only be represented by logical names from a directory (i.e. aliases), and whether an "endpoint" is a user or a terminal? If this is decided on, the H.323 registration procedure is just what is needed to have user mobility, by dynamically associating a logical user name with one or multiple terminals upon user request. With terminals identified by IP addresses, terminal mobility would further be strictly a network access problem. 2. Annex-H is supposed to handle user and service mobility, so why would the handover problem, as any other terminal mobility related problem, be handled here instead of independently in Annex-I? 3. Mobility is not an issue in H.323 alone, e.g. consider roaming and handover for a connection-oriented data application, so why should it be handled in H.323 on its own? Or put otherwise, is H.323 support really required on a terminal in order to be able to roam, as a user of some service, or as a terminal accessing a network? 4. Although the proposal pays attention to the identification of several degrees of locality for roaming and handover, solving all control issues (radio access, IP-networking, etc.) in a single application layer still leads to both resource sub-optimality and complexity. E.g. why should the WAU be aware of anything having to do with (user) mobility management? Instead I would propose to use an approach of highly independent layers, following good Internet tradition, and solving the problems as locally as possible (both geographically and architecturally). Here's the layers I think at least should be distinguished: - MAC level: terminal micro-mobility across radio cells, ethernet segments, etc. can exist without any consciousness of this at the IP level (e.g. using wireless LAN tunneling techniques); - IP network level: terminal macro-mobility across the Internet should be invisible to higher layers (e.g. by means of Mobile IP v4 or v6 and the improvements suggested for delay-sensitive traffic like RTP streams: Mobile IP HAWAII, or draft-elmalki-mobileip-fast-handoffs-01 to name but a few; note that route optimization is also worked on in this area); - "terminal real-time signaling" application level: the level where telephony and MM signaling like H.323 can be placed (restricting GW and GK functionality to strictly this level); here Annex-H might define transport for additional parameters and vertical signaling, useful for serving the "user services" application level (below); at this lowest application level packet to circuit switched network boundaries may be crossed (cf. the evolving traditional telephony networks vs. the Internet); - "user services" application level: user and service mobility takes place here, making use of a network- (and H.323) independent naming system (directories using e.g. DNS, LDAP schemas, etc.) and e.g. back-end services, "behind" or "on top of" one or several GKs for realizing UM, user mobility support for a larger scope than just H.323, smart user assistance, etc.. This approach has not only the general advantage that every layer can evolve technically independent of all others, it also has the specific advantage that it realizes true consolidation of mobility for telephony and traditional data applications. As a last point, it is not clear to me at which of these levels H.450 would belong. As it is specified now it is on top of H.323, but suppose one would like to adopt a service provision model where a user could subscribe to a telephony-related service , wouldn't it be nice then to be able to offer this across different telephony technologies (a bit like where IN aims at)? A comparison to using a HTTP service control layer (Annex-K) might be interesting here. I cannot imagine that these fundamental issues where not previously discussed in ITU-T SG16 or Tiphon WG7, so if anyone can give me some arguments why an approach as I tried to describe here could not be followed, I would be glad to know about it.

Considering these 3GPP contributions does not help in understanding Edgar's point of view. I have already sent a few e-mails to comment the proposed mobile H.323 architecture and would like to summarize here my view, hoping to get reactions: - the role and reason for being of WAU is unclear (as TIPHON is focused on user and service mobility, why worry about the access medium ?) - the redefinition of several RAS channel messages is confusing (why does the RAS channel terminates at WAU ?) - protocol stacks and interface definitions are missing from the picture. best regards

Re: ASN.1 Syntax of H.245

It is now 13 September. I have received three mails supporting this proposed change, and no mails against it. I think that we can conclude that we have consensus to make the change. Another purely editorial error has been pointed out to me by Hidenobu Harasaki. The words 'defined in section 6' appear in 18 places, but there is no section 6 as this has been renamed to be Annex C. So the 18 occurences of 'defined in section 6' should be changed to 'defined in Annex C'. He also pointed out that this error was also present in the version 4 that I submitted to the ITU.

Dear Jin, You questions are in Quotes > > what are the > > problems/weakness of the being-defined 3G systems we are going to > > address/attack. Lucent's contribution indicates that the alternatives at hand have their faults. Which applies to the question you asked. >Also this document was not about IN and IP. (what it said is that IP based >MSC can re-use IN platform easily). Would you shed some light on your >proposed IN for IP mobility? Re-read the statement I do not think a MSC SERVER means the same as an MSC switch. The following is from Lucent's document... -- being of docuement copy --- With this solution it is easier develop and to re-use existing supplementary and IN services implementations. An MSC server connected to the UTRAN handling CS mobiles is architecturally in line with R99 MSCs and is less drastic a change. This document compares the two options and makes a recommendation on which should be standardized as part of R00. Use of ATM goes against the All IP definition. 3 PROPOSAL Both solutions require a substantial amount of work. Given that it is expected that most networks will be migrating from Release 99 and hence will support a CS domain in the core network, it is questionable as to the real need for either of these solutions. However, some operators may require that all traffic be carried over a common IP network as in the MSC server proposal. However, if a solution must be standardized, it would be sensible to choose the solution that will require the minimum amount of standardization work. The MSC server proposal, although not complete, is considered to be the easier to standardize. The advantage of this solution is that it does not impact the GPRS nodes with what can be considered to be legacy support. -- end of docuement copy -- We have proposed the MSGK as a MSC Server, in TIPHON many times since Tiphon 10. We are also working in the IP Mobility interworking with legacy mobile systems. And we are working with other groups to include IN into TIPHON. The point here is that the work that 3GPP-2000 is just started to look from a IP view, was started long before in TIPHON and SG16. " I do not view 3GPP-2000 as a competitive architecture to TIPHON, but one that should be complementary."

Dear Edgar, The document you attached is a contribution from Lucent, comparing two alternatives (proposed by Ericsson and Alcatel) for CS terminal support in an "all IP" architecture. I did not quite catch the commonality between this discussion and what's happening in TIPHON. (I may miss something, in that case can you kelp?) Also this document was not about IN and IP. (what it said is that IP based MSC can re-use IN platform easily). Would you shed some light on your proposed IN for IP mobility?
