Introduction
Two aspects of mobility: user mobility: users communicate (wireless) anytime, anywhere, with anyone device portability: devices can be connected anytime, anywhere to the network

Wireless vs. mobile Examples stationary computer notebook in a hotel wireless LANs in historic buildings Mobile Phones

 The demand for mobile communication creates the need for integration of wireless networks into existing fixed networks: local area networks: standardization of IEEE 802.11 Internet: Mobile IP extension of IP wide area networks: e.g., internetworking of GSM and ISDN

Applications
Vehicles transmission of news, road condition, weather, music vehicle data (e.g., from busses, high-speed trains) can be transmitted in advance for maintenance Emergencies early transmission of patient data to the hospital, current status, first diagnosis replacement of a fixed infrastructure in case of earthquakes
