Abstract

We need to solve various mobility problems in 1-dimensional, 2-dimensional, and 3-dimensional micro- or pico-cell environments for efficiently planning future personal communications services. However, mobility problems have been thus far studied in 1- and 2-dimensional cell structures. We extend the previous mobility modeling from 1-or 2-dimensional space to 3-dimensional indoor building environments by considering proper boundary conditions on each floor and analytically model the mobility in multi-story buildings to estimate the number of handoffs and then verify this mathematical model by computer simulations. These results can be utilized in the network planning of future personal communications services
