4G involves the integration of different RAN. The authors of the article propose a unique core network to which the different RAN connect. There are different existing mobility management protocols. The authors differentiate between micro-mobility and macro-mobility, and propose RAMP, a protocol that allows the coexistence of the different mobility protocols.
