Common Radio Access Protocol Set BOF (craps) Monday, July 31 at 1530-1730 ============================ CHAIRS: Phil Neumiller Pat R. Calhoun DESCRIPTION: With the emergence of new wireless technologies, there has been a proliferation of inter-access point mobility protocols. Most of these are achieved through the use of complicated link layers. Moreover, these protocols do not allow for seamless mobility between different wireless technology access points. The CRAPS BOF will examine whether a Working Group should be chartered to design a protocol facilitating seamless handover that is common across most all types of radio access points and base stations. The goal of the Working Group is to re-use existing IETF protocol where possible. The output of the Working Group could be used by the various wireless and cellular SDOs, which would then enable users to seamlessly roam between different wireless technologies. The wireless Internet should provide seamless roaming, at both the micro and macro mobility level, and perhaps a single protocol can provide both. In addition, the interfaces to AAA and QOS should be similar. AGENDA: - Agenda Bashing - Discussion of (proposed) WG Goals - Issues and Problems identified in Open Base Station Transport Protocol (OBAST) work - Scope of work regarding CDMA soft hand-off (draft-kepmf-cdma-appl-00.txt) - Other speakers discussing the problems to be solved, and whether they are in scope within the proposed BOF. - Proposed Charter Review (and hacking of said proposed charter) - Determine whether there is enough interest to form a WG
