Integration of Navigation and Communication for Location and Context Aware RRM

Next Generation Wireless Networks (NGWNs) will allow the user to roam over different access networks, such as UMTS, Wi-Fi, satellite-based networks. Currently, these networks are integrated/assisted by more and more accurate navigation systems, which can make available the information on the location of the mobile terminal. This information is then typically used to provide location based services. This paper addresses a novel way of jointly using navigation and communication systems: the information on location together with other information on the situation of the user/network nodes is used in order to optimize the mobility and resource management over satellite/terrestrial heterogeneous networks.
