A Generalized Model for Link Layer Triggers

Abstract

This document presents a generalized model for supporting L2 triggers in 802 networks. Key L2 triggers that can be used in the handoff process are also identified. Examples of the use of these triggers are given. These proposed triggers and the proposed trigger may form the basis for a generalized trigger service to be defined in 802.21. Feeback from developers of the layer 3 protocols that may use triggers is requested
