I have also heard that there seems to be queuing behavior for the base-stations that send to UEs (i.e. phones). The fact that queuing is happening while waiting for a handoffs to occur can be a good opportunity to pack IP packets into super-frames to send over the RAN.

I tend to agree.

Let’s not conflate running LISP and super-framing. I think running LISP (but not on the UE) is really an easy deployable solution. That is a separate topic for discussion. This thread was focusing on super-framing.

Right, we will have several presentations at the 5gangip BOF discussing this.

Yes, I and many are aware of the opportunity.
