JSR 307

This JSR provides two APIs: one to establish packet data sessions with particular attributes such as bandwidth, latency, QoS or

destination APN (for GPRS) and another for providing a framework for managing network mobility for mobile platforms and applications

on those platforms. Data control and network mobility control are linked together because many use cases for the data capabilities in

this JSR also include operations that need information about the available networks (to determine what services to offer to the user).

Mobile Data API

Entering into a wider range of applications and application services available on a mobile device, not all applications are able to

operate best with the default type of data session which is available today. This API provides means to request sessions over a

particular radio transport (if more than one is available), obtain bandwidth guarantees for the session, and update sessions as

available transport capabilities may change. The API expects that when applications do not specify a radio transport for use, that the

platform will select the transport best able to support the requested session characteristics.

Additional APIs in the framework provide for notifications of changes in session attributes, along with mechanisms to change

the attributes of an active session. For devices with multiple data transport mechanisms (such as cellular and WLAN), the API

provides a means to select a particular transport for the session. As an example of the attributes which may be specific (for a GPRS

session), this would include APN, minimum and requested bandwidth, traffic class (conversational, streaming, interactive,

background) and latency limits.

Network Mobility API

This will provide a framework for managing network mobility for mobile platforms and applications on those platforms. Applications

will be able to manage and monitor the features, attributes, and capabilities of available wireless networks (wireless Voice, Data

and related services) as well as identifying wired connections to services (accessing the internet through a USB connection bridged

in a PC for example). The mobility API will provide a means for an application to set both application specific and device-wide

preferences for which networks to attach to, obtain information about the networks which are currently available for attachment,

attach/detach to a specific network and control preferences for different protocols or transports which may be able to provide a

service. Preferences might include selections such as preferring a VoIP telephony session instead of a cellular telephony session, or

preferring to use a particular WLAN network when it is available.
