Hi all,

I'm sending here the documents related to H.323 Annex H that were accomplished in the Geneva meeting by the ad hoc mobility group. Included are the draft Annex H, the Terms of Reference for it as well as the meeting minutes (quite short) of the ad hoc group meetings in Geneva.

As Mr. Tran pointed out the location area had been left to the VLF-section of the draft annex. This is my mistake and I apologize for any confusion it has created. I did not, however, take it off from the document I am sending here, this is the document that was produced as a TD in Geneva, but I will remove the location area from the subsequent versions of the draft annex. As for the TMSI, etc. concepts, in my view it is quite unnecessary to argue about these, the TMSI is already included in the proposed new alias address type: UIM. Many of these concepts are, as I understand, already needed in H.246 Annex E, which addresses one scenario of the mobility problem. I would see the VLR functionality of the H.246 Annex E IWF as really the VLF we have defined as a new mobility functional entity, thus the identifiers TMSI, etc. would be needed in the VLF at least in some cases. However, it might be suitable to indicate that all of the identifiers mentioned in the VLF (and other) section(s) are not mandatory.
