There is being an on-going effort in the research community to efficiently interconnect Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) to fixed ones like the Internet. Several approaches have been proposed within the MANET working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), but there is still no clear evidence about which alternative is best suited for each mobility scenario, and how does mobility aff...

Vehicular networking is an emerging area of interest in the wireless networking community as well as in the transportation research community. Vehicular ad hoc networks (vanet) are distributed, self-organizing communication networks which progressed from traveling vehicles, and are thus characterized by very high speeds and limited degrees of freedom in node (vehicle) movement patterns. Differe...

Prompted by new data and a renewed concern about equality of opportunity, the study of intergenerational mobility has flourished in Latin America in the past decade. Although analysis is still restricted to a handful of countries, one conclusion appears clear: Intergenerational income mobility is weaker in Latin America than in industrial countries and is characterized by “persistence at the to...

In a study of the lipoprotein pattern in multiple myelomatosis electrophoresis on agarose gel showed abnormal lipoproteins, named paralipoproteins (p-Lp), in 24 out of 30 normolipidaemic patients. These paralipoproteins were grouped according to their mobility into one or another of the following types: (1) p-Lp1 with a mobility identical with that of gamma-globulin, (2) p-Lp2 with a mobility b...

Current mobility models for simultaneous mobility have their convolution in designing simultaneous movement where mobile nodes (MNs) travel randomly from the two adjacent cells at the same time and also have their complexity in the measurement of the occurrences of simultaneous handover. Simultaneous mobility problem incurs when two of the MNs start handover approximately at the same time. As S...

It is believed that personal mobility patterns of a human are highly related to a person’s personality. The person’s location at a given time can be identified in case the person carries positioning devices, and thus a personal mobility patterns can be identified. One of the personality models, the big five personality models have been regarded as a representative model of a personality identif...

In wireless cellular networks, location management operation expends the limited wireless resources to keep track the location information of a mobile terminal. Various dynamic location update (LU) schemes have been proposed to improve the efficiency of location management. However, most of them only work for certain mobility patterns. In this paper, we propose a new scheme that the LU area is ...

Providing quality of service(QoS) guarantees in mobile data networks is an inherently challenging task. Mobility of users imposes a spatial demand on resources resulting in overloaded regions that are entirely dependent on mobility pattern of the users, that is often unpredictable. Prior and ongoing work in this area of QoS relies on call admission control (CAC) based on the assumption of rando...

For a wireless network to effectively deliver services to the mobile users, it must have an efficient way to track them. The location management fulfills this task through location registration and paging. Many location management strategies, such as profile-based scheme (PBS), have been proposed to reduce the signaling traffic caused by the location update and paging. In the PBS scheme, the sy...
