Towards a universal model for personal mobility management

The convergence of wired/wireless telecommunication networks and IP-based data networks to form a seamless global personal communication system has set up the stage for a network independent universal location service. Symbolic representation of location space in terms of cells is the key to its viability. Under this framework, universal learning, estimation and prediction of personal mobility is still possible for well-behaved users, in spite of the fact that no single mobility model works for the diverse set of wireless infrastructures.
