Mobility Management

This is the first book devoted to mobility management, covering the important principles, technologies and applications of mobility management based on years of academic research and industry experiences. The content is organized according to the reference models proposed by the authors, and emphasizes on technical principles rather than protocol details; a systematic and comprehensive introduction is presented yet without losing focuses; the existing technologies in cellular system, mobile Internet and IMS/SIP are also extensively compared. This book can be an indispensable reference for mobile communication engineers, computer network engineers, researchers and anyone else involved in academic, industrial and standardization activities on mobility management.

Indicates potential directions in academic, standardization and industry areas The first book to address mobility management as a specific technology, covering the related theories and technologies in wireless mobile communications, mobile Internet and IMS/SIP Presents the novel protocol reference model and network reference model for the mobility management Offers multi-dimensional investigation of typical mobility management technologies Focuses on the technical principles rather than the protocol details Illustrates the application of typical mobility management technologies for the users moving across heterogeneous access networks Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
