The challenges of predicting mobility

In this report, we describe the challenges facing mobility prediction in
mobile networks and the potential benefit from its usage. We first describe
telecommunication areas, which are subject to, and potentially suffering from,
the mobility of network terminals. We then provide a related work on prediction
models illustrating previous successful attempts aimed at taming mobility
in cellular and mobile networks. Finally, we dissert on the potential of
the adaptation of such techniques to mobile ad hoc networks by describing
some successful application to routing and location management in ad hoc
networks.
