RE: Requirements

["Robinson, Richard" <RRobin01@sprintspectrum.com>]

it is just that the mobility of wireless subscribers as well as some unique
performance requirements/problems in the air interface may indeed bring out
special requirements - perhaps more so in the macro cell environment of
wireless operators than in controlled micro/pico cell links

some of these come through in Paul Reynolds draft - as wireless operators
get engaged in these requirements some of the things that make wireless
different may be highlighted - i'm reviewing the draft now

which would seem to imply that we need to try to convince people at the ietf
(i think its a misnomer to say "convince the ietf") that we're talking about
more than a link layer, maybe the right term is mobility, or roaming
services, or disadvantaged user devices, or large populations of always on
subscribers  ;-)
