Mobility management for mobile communications

Mobility management is the essential technology that
supports roaming users with mobile terminals to enjoy their
services through wireless networks when they are moving
into a new service area. From the viewpoint of functionality,
mobility management enables communication networks to
track and locate roaming terminals in order to deliver data
packets to the new destination and maintain connections
with terminals moving into new areas . According to the
concept above, mobility management mainly contains two
distinct but related components: location management and
handoff management.
