Hi Yatch, Prof. Qin Thanks for your comments! Let's me explain my thought more further.
The important benefit is the two cell list 6top format could support scheduling function better on bandwidth estimation. An important thought behind this idea is we don't treat Relocation as a policy in SF0 but a decision SF0 can use during estimating bandwidth requirement, like ADD, DELETE command. With this thought, the SF0 may end up with a decision with: 1. Relocating cell 1 and 2 to cell 3 and 4, 2. and Add one more cell 5. *(1,2,3,4,5 are the slotoffset of cells, just for simplification)* With the proposed format, the adding list will be [3,4,5] and deleting list will be [1,2]. If we want to give more choice on choosing which one to allocate, the adding list can be like [3,4,5,6,7] and finally pick up 3 out of them. It's the same if the decision is relocating some cell + deleting. With this format: 1. SF0 could manage the schedule/bandwidth more flexible, by taking the affect after relocation into account. 2. as the finally decision can be archived with single 6top transaction instead of two, the 6top traffic could be reduced.
