• IEEE Std 802.21™-2009• IEEE Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks -
Part 21: Media Independent Handover Services
• Key Features • Three services: Event Service, Command Service, and
Information Service• Defines a new functional entity called MIHF (MIH
Function)• Facilitates Multi-Radio network discovery and selection• Provides abstracted services to higher layers. • Communicates with the lower layers of the mobility-
management protocol stack through technology-specific interfaces.
• MIH peer communication is performed through MIH Protocol

MIH Event Service
• Enables the higher layers (L3 or above) to capture the radio link status in a standard manner
• Mapping media specific link layer events to Media Independent Events
• Link layer events• From specific link layers to MIHF
• MIH events• From MIHF to higher layers
21-10-0129-02-0000
• Remote Events• MIH events between different MIH entities
• Provides a framework and corresponding mechanisms to discover and obtain surrounding heterogeneous network information
• Information Elements (IEs)• General overview of network
• Location of PoAs, IP version, Operator• Link layer parameters
• Channel, frequency, PHY types, data rates,• Supported higher layer services or applications at the
access network• MIP, VPN, SIP, etc.
MIH Information Service
21-10-0129-02-0000
• Two types of information transfer• Pull Mode: GET-RESPONSE• Push Mode: One way INDICATION
• Push Model• Information can be pushed to MN by the operator• MIH Registration is mandatory for use with this push
model• MIH_Push_Information
