This document summarizes the work done during the first stage of Work Package 2 (WP2) (Seamless Service Delivery to the Nomadic User). The objective of WP2 is to specify an architecture allowing seamless service delivery across different wireless access networks and wired networks. To obtain this objective, in this first stage of the project, we elaborate a State of the art of terminal mobility in a heterogeneous network environment. The analysis is based on research publications, research projects and standards for an overall technology overview covering all lower network layers. Based on this study, some functional and operational requirements have been identified for the main issues relating on the WP2 (mobility management, roaming, interworking, security management and resource management). These requirements are the input for the basic architecture of SUMO (WP1).
