Mobility Management ― Principle, Technology and Applications

This book focuses on the mobility management technology which supports the service continuity across the heterogeneous access networks. As the mobility function has evolved as an essential feature in the network communications, the mobility management is discussed as a specific technology, and a systematic overview of it is provided. The proposed protocol reference model is made as the main line in the book, which includes multi-dimensional studies on the mobility management requirements and technologies, in-depth analysis of the typical technologies based on the protocol reference model, as well as the potential research directions.

In this book, a systematic overview of the technical principles rather than the protocol details is addressed. It is a valuable reference work for the researchers, engineers and students working in the fields of wireless mobile communications, heterogeneous networks, the mobile Internet and the mobility management.

Dr. Chen is the CTO of Datang Telecom Technology & Industry Group, and the guest professor in Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) and Beijing Jiaotong University (BJTU).

Dr. Chen has worked in both industry and academic.

Dr. Chen is currently the SVP, CTO and CIO of Datang Telecom Technology & Industry Group (China Academy of Telecommunications Technology, CATT), where he is responsible for strategy development, technology and standard development, corporate IT, and strategic alliances and cooperation.
