Abstract

The article gives an overview of architectures and service aspects of existing networks and of those under development, with a special focus on mobility support. The authors discuss relations and differences of concepts being rooted in data communications and telecommunications, respectively, while paying special attention to the future role of the ISO/OSI reference model. They have subdivided the discussion based on different network classes with different degrees of mobility support; starting with fixed networks and finishing with networks enabling unlimited mobility of users and terminals. Finally, they describe the impact of unlimited terminal mobility on next generation communication networks
