Hi Reza,

Thanks for your response and please see my comments below with [Taku].

Thanks,
Takuya

[Taku] OK. If such kinds of procedures are taken at Core/RAN Controller, 
it might be better to describe such procedures in Section3.
           We also have to check if these access point information can 
be conveyed at the 3GPP defined interface between E2E Controller and 
Core/RAN Controller.

[Taku] That sounds good.
