Abstract: This paper proposes a conceptual framework for mobility and mobility management with the emphasis on the key research issues involved in the graceful design of mobility management schemes. The effects of mobility on both architectures and protocols of networks and communications are presented. Diversity of the future mobile communication system introduces new challenges which lead to the definitions of mobility on various levels according to different granularities. Mobility management is defined as two complimentary operations, i.e. location management and handoff management. This paper also describes the mobility issues at the network layer. The processing stages of the two operations are introduced respectively, together with the analysis of key research issues and problem solutions. Finally, the issues about the performance evaluation of mobility management schemes are discussed.
Keywords: Conceptual Framework, Mobility Management.
