Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) had three of their proposals approved by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) at a recent ITU-T meeting on next generation networking technology:

The technologies are focused on improving the handover between different access networks for handheld devices, which would be critical amid the strengthening trend of convergence between telecommunications and broadcasting services.

The designs include solutions for controlling handover between fixed-line and wireless networks, improving handover of data carried through multi-protocol labels switching (MPLS) and also technology to handle the verification process of users switching networks.
