Abstract

Cellular telephony provides voice and data services to the users with mobility. To deliver services to the mobile users, the cellular network is capable of tracking the locations of the users, and allowing user movement during the conversations. These capabilities are achieved by the roaming management (or the large-scale mobility management) and the handoff management (or the small-scale mobility management). This article describes mobility management in the cellular networks. The details of different handoff schemes, location tracking schemes, and call delivery procedures are provided.
