Abstract

Forthcoming wireless communication systems, well represented by the term beyond 3G, are likely to impose some new requirements that go beyond the traditional view on today's networking paradigm. In particular, mobility procedures will no longer be restricted to the change of the point of attachment to the network. The work presented in this paper aims at proving, following a fully experimental approach, the feasibility of some architectural components of a mobility control space, which has been designed so the context of the ambient networks project. Especially, in this study we focused on and successfully realized two concepts, a facility for triggering mobility events and support for moving networks.
