Background • Multi-Radio Network Discovery – It is necessary in order to support inter-RAT handover in the multi-radio environment. – It makes possible that multi-mode MS discovers the available Access Networks (ANs) and monitors their status. – Multi-mode MS • Equipped with multiple radio interfaces • Should activate radio-interfaces and scan ANs in time. – Additional power consumption of MS is not desired due to frequent network discovery • Necessity of power-efficient network discovery – Can reduce power consumption of MS by using Location-Based Services (LBS) considering multi-radio environments Network Discovery • Two Approaches for Network Discovery – Periodic Network Discovery – Location-based Network Discovery • Periodic Network Discovery – Mobile Station (MS) periodically scans ANs at a regular interval. – If it scans more frequently • Pros : it may be possible to detect ANs more quickly and more accurately. • Cons : MS consumes more energy. – Power consumption of MS highly depends on scanning frequency. Location-based Network Discovery Figure 1 1 • MS activates a radio-interface for scanning an AN when it enters a coverage of a non-802.16m BS. Geo-location Map Interworking 2 Non-16m BS’s location information • Can reduce the energy required for scanning compared with periodic network discovery. 16m BS Non-16m BS Multi-mode MS 3 MS Location Tracking & Distance Estimation 4 - Radio-interface activation - Scanning (Dectection) - Network Discovery Success Proceed to Network Selection • Requirements – MS should be able to support a LBS. – It should be possible to collect the location information of ovelaid ANs. • Ex) Need to share the location map between 802.16m system and non-802.16m system. – Transfer the collected AN’s location information to a MS Location-based Network Discovery • Network Discovery Information – Include assistance data to allow the MS to discover available ANs. • Refer to 3GPP TS 23.402 and 3GPP TS 24.302. – 802.16m BS provides the MS with network discovery information. • Proposed additional Information for Location-based Network Discovery – Location information of overlaid non-802.16 BSs • To measure the distance between a MS and a (non-16) BS • Similar to TLV for the geo-location information of legacy LBS-ADV • ex) Absolute Position, Relative Position, GPS Time, Frequency Accuracy – Service-available range of overlaid non-802.16 BSs • Service_Coverage (may be denoted by meters) – Service-available coverage recommended by non-802.16 systems • For network discovery triggering – “Distance between a MS and a BS” <= “Service_Coverage” Location-based Network Discovery • How to transfer a Network Discovery Information – Query & Response • MOB_LBS-REQ (MS BS) – Include AN IDs. • MOB_LBS-RSP (BS MS) – Include location information of available non-802.16m BSs demanded by the MS. – Broadcast (LBS advertisement) • Can use advertisement messages, such as legacy LBS-ADV – Include location information of non-802.16m BSs overlaid with a 802.16m BS. – The location information can be included in LBS-ADV. Text proposal for SDD Insert the following text into Support for Location Based Services clause (Chapter 14 in [IEEE 802.16m-08/003r4]) ------------------------------- Text Start ------------------------------14 Support for Location Based Services 14.x LBS Application for Multi-Radio Environments In order to discover access networks supporting LBS over multiradio environments, 802.16m systems need to share the location information with non-802.16 systems, and provide to multi-mode MS with the assistance data for the location-based network discovery, such as a location information and service-available coverage information of overlaid non-802.16 BSs. The MS may obtain the assistance data by querying the 802.16m systems or by receiving LBS advertisement (LBS-ADV) messages. ------------------------------- Text End ------------------------------- Appendix Comparison of Network Discovery • Sampling of an acess network detection point (Max.
