The goal of this article is to describe the ongoing implementation framework of the emerging 802.21 standard in ns-3. If you arrived here following your high curiosity line, that's great but assure that you have first read a few documents regarding that draft standard.

Overview
MIH framework in NS-3
API description
Where is what?
Use of smart pointers
Designing choice structures
Tasks completed so far
By now, the following MIH blocks are implemented:
- An abstract MIH_LINK_SAP and its primitives
- An abstract MIH_SAP and primitives for MIH processing on the local stack only
Ongoing development
The following tasks are being held currently:
- Implementing MIH_FUNCTION for local MIH Events and Commands exchanges:
- Link events delivery from MIH_LINK_SAPs to MIH_USERs (through MIH_SAPs)
- Command delivery from MIH_USERs to MIH_LINK_SAPs
Foresights
Local MIH exchanges
In order to integrate few L2 technologies with the MIH framework, the following interfaces need to be implemented:
- WifiMihLinkSap -- ready to be done
- WimaxMihLinkSap -- until Wimax is validated
Remote MIH exchanges
- The MIH Protocol including:
- Packet TLV formats
- MIH message header format
- Transport of MIH messages over L3+ plane
- MIIS
- RDF schemas
