Abstract :
Given a quality-of-service constraint, a wireless network has to sacrifice its capacity in order to support an increase in mobility. In other words, the network needs to convert some of its capacity into mobility. We develop an analytical model to evaluate the efficiency of the mobility/capacity conversion processes of several wireless networks. One practical implication of our results is that a network, if designed correctly, should have a free convertibility between the two.
