From 1: "The mobile wireless network infrastructure may be organized into a cell hierarchy as shown in the following figure, based on technology either already deployed or still under development. Starting from the home cell with coverage in private buildings such as a house or office to public hotspot locations such as airport, train station, conference center, service may be provided through an access point.
