1 Packet delivery
Packet delivery and handover management are crucial processes in mobile
networks.
Packet delivery ensures data packets reach the intended recipient, while
handover management enables seamless connectivity as mobile devices
move between network access points.

2. Handover Management
Handover management (also known as hand-off
management) is crucial in mobile computing to
ensure seamless and uninterrupted
communication as mobile devices move between
different network cells or access points.
This process involves transferring an active
connection from one network point to another
without dropping the call or data session.
Without efficient handover management, users
would experience frequent disconnections and
service interruptions, hindering the usability of
mobile devices and applications.

3. Location Management
Location management in mobile computing is the
process of tracking and managing the locations of
mobile devices within a network to enable seamless
communication and service delivery.
It involves two key operations: location
updates (registering a mobile device's location)
and paging (locating a mobile device for incoming
calls or data).
Effective location management aims to balance the
overhead of frequent updates with the cost of
searching for devices when they are needed.
