This chapter introduces the concept of mobility by differentiating between different types of mobility a network may provide. It then relates these to the mobility offered in current mobile cellular networks. A brief review of how mobility is managed in these networks is then given and is followed by a discussion of the costs incurred in managing mobility. However, the chapter is chiefly concerned with presenting the findings of studies into mobility management.
