Mobility management for wireless networks: modeling and analysis

Mobility management plays a significant role in the current and the future wireless mobile networks in effectively delivering services to the mobile users on the move. Many schemes have been proposed and investigated extensively in the past. However, most performance analyses were carried out either under simplistic assumptions on some time variables or via simulations. Recently, we have developed a new analytical approach to investigating the modeling and performance analysis for mobility management schemes under fairly general assumption. In this chapter, we present the techniques we have developed for this aproach lately and summarize the major results we have obtained for a few mobility management schemes such as Movement-based Mobility Management, Pointer Forwarding Scheme (PFS), Two-level location management scheme, and Two-Location Algorithm (TLA).
