Managed mobility: a novel concept in integrated wireless systems

摘要

We have introduced a novel concept called "managed mobility", and addressed the mobility of the relaying devices called mobile ad hoc relaying stations (MARSs) in the integrated cellular and ad hoc relaying (iCAR) system. We anticipate that the idea of managed mobility proposed in this paper for the iCAR system as well as the mobility management strategies may also be applied in other ad hoc networks, such as the self-reconfigurable sensor network, to reduce additional node deployment cost and increase fault tolerance.
