Re: IEEE 802.21 Session #20 in Montreal
Abstract IEEE P802.21/D05.00 defines the TLV type values per message. This method is not consistent with other IEEE 802 protocols and may increase implementation complexity. This contribution proposes defining the TLV type values once for the entire protocol.

1. Introduction
IEEE P802.21/D05.00 defines the TLV type values per MIH message. This method is not consistent with other IEEE 802 protocols, such as 802.11, 802.16, and 802.1 and may increase implementation complexity.
The complexity of defining the TLV types as in IEEE P802.21/D05.00 is a result of
