Abstract :
We show in the paper that mobility and capacity can be viewed as equals, and develop an analytical model to study the conversion process between the two. The goal of the study is to design a network with a free convertibility between mobility and capacity. Such a network can support more users because whenever user mobility drops, it can convert that change into a capacity gain.
