3.1 Definitions

For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions in 3GPP TS 43.318 and the following apply.

Access Point ID: The AP-ID is the physical identity (e.g. MAC address) of the generic IP access network point through which the MS is accessing GAN service. This identifier is provided by the MS (obtained via broadcast from the AP) to the GANC via the Up interface, when it requests GAN service. The AP-ID may be used by the GANC to support location services. The AP-ID may also be used by the service provider to restrict GAN service access via only authorized APs.

Blind Transmission: refers to the decision made by the SGSN to start the transmission of downlink N-PDUs or by the target BSS/GANC to start the transmission of downlink LLC PDUs for a given mobile station before receiving confirmation that the PS handover procedure has been successfully completed.

3.2 Symbols
