A Pattern Language for Mobility Management
Authors: Rossana Andrade, Luigi Logrippo, Mark Bottomley, and Todd Coram
Abstract. The different mobile wireless communication systems that are currently available adopt common 
solutions for dealing with recurring mobility management problems associated with similar architectural 
elements. This work extracts and documents patterns that identify such common problems and solutions 
among second generation systems, for example, GSM-900 and D-AMPS. These patterns are grouped into a 
pattern language that shows how they interact. At a high level of abstraction, the pattern language makes it 
possible to generate different scenarios of the mobile system behavior.
