Wouldn it be useful to distinguish between 802.11 “mobility” and cellular “mobility,” rather than as it is today where both technologies use the same word to mean entirely different things?

Unfortunately the 802.11 usage of the words “roaming” and “mobility” are different from the cellular usage of these terms. This causes quite a bit of confusion. The 802.11 term “roaming” actually implies “handoff” in the cellular sense, for example. However, it appears that the differing usage – and the confusion – are here to stay.
