Optimal load of mobile robots, while carrying a load with predefined motion precision is an important consideration regarding their applications. In this paper a general formulation for finding maximum load carrying capacity of flexible joint mobile manipulators is presented. Meanwhile, overturning stability of the system and precision of the motion on the given end-effector trajectory are take...

Base IP mobility presents performance limitations when the mobile host increases its handoff rate between successive wireless points of attachment as a result of its mobility pattern. These limitations are augmented when latency externalities such as the round trip time between the MN and its peers, add to the total of latency and signalling overhead, impeding the performance of the mobility fu...

Standard IP mobility management (IP-MM) commonly known as Mobile IP, presents a set of technical challenges in performance and scalability, as the mobile host (MN) varies the handoff rate, due to its mobility pattern, between successive wireless points of attachment; these manifest themselves primarily as increased signalling between the MN and its peers. In addition, they encompass sources of ...

This document defines a binding revocation mechanism to terminate a mobile node’s mobility session and the associated resources. This mechanism can be used both with base Mobile IPv6 and its extensions, such as Proxy Mobile IPv6. The mechanism allows the mobility entity which initiates the revocation procedure to request its peer to terminate either one, multiple or all specified Binding Cache ...

We consider a CDMA cellular wireless access network that handles various classes of calls that are characterised by different bit rates and Eb=N0 requirements. For the uplink of such a system we study the relationship between power control, admission control and user mobility. We compare two methods for power control: Constant Received Power Control (CRPC) in which the total power received at e...

This paper presents a study of base station system configurations for the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS). The base station system (BSS), being the interface between the mobile terminal and fixed network, should be capable of handling a huge amount of traffic, mobility, and a high signaling load which is expected in the UMTS. Several functions that should be supported by BSS ar...

When capital taxes are used to finance a public good, capital mobility reduces efficiency since it narrows the tax base. This motivates the concern that capital mobility might also interfere with unilateral efforts to provide the public good of environmental quality through pollution taxes. I show in this paper that capital mobility does not affect efficiency in a small open economy, even thoug...

Mobile IP is now the standard for supporting mobility in IP networks. It provides seamless mobility by hiding the change of IP address when a mobile host moves between IP subnets. Nevertheless, Mobile IP is not designed to support fast handoff and seamless mobility in handoff-intensive environments. Several micro-mobility protocols have been proposed to support host mobility with frequent hando...
