Supporting User Mobility
نویسنده
چکیده
The availability of wireless network connections to laptop computers and PDA’s has created interest in the issues surrounding mobile computing. However, enabling users to be genuinely mobile in their work requires more than a wireless connection. Distributed system services are needed to support the locating of people, equipment and software objects, and, especially for mobile multimedia applications, network transport protocols which can adapt to a wide range of networking conditions must be developed. This paper reviews some important mobility issues, looks at some of the systems requirements raised by user mobility, and describes some practical experiences with mobile applications at Olivetti Research Ltd. (ORL).

Intelligent Networks (INs) are well suited for implementing Universal Personal Telecommunication (UPT) services. For ef®cient planning of IN accommodating UPT services, it is essential to analyze the effect of UPT user personal mobility. In this paper, an IN architecture with a ®xed local anchor (FLA) is proposed for supporting UPT services. The performance of the proposed IN architecture is co...
متن کاملA practical user mobility prediction algorithm for supporting adaptive QoS in wireless networks
A number of user mobility prediction algorithms have been reported in the literature. These may be used for resource reservation and service pre-configuration/ adaptation in future wireless networks to provide QoS guarantees. However, our analysis of some of these techniques using measured cellular performance shows that these models do not accurately represent the mobility patterns of users. A...
