To manage mobility, RAN nodes in both 4G and 5G are grouped into a hierarchy of geographical areas. We demonstrate a 4G/5G compliant Network Level Mobility Management Optimization solution based on User Equipment (UE) Mobility to minimize signaling (i.e., handover signaling, paging and tracking area updates) and handover latency by dynamically reconfiguring the association between nodes in the Radio Access Network (RAN) and nodes (e.g. Mobility Management Entity), functions (e.g. Access and Mobility Management Function) and Location Regions (e.g. Tracking Area, Registration Area, Tracking Area List) in the core network.
