Motivation

• The main goals for this study are to evaluate
  different mechanisms considered for the L3
  transport of IEEE 802.21 protocol messages in
  order to reveal useful insights and performance
  trends.
• Performance results based on simulation and
  analytical models are obtained for the L3
  transport of MIH messages using TCP and UDP for
  different network scenarios and MIH configuration
  settings.
