Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing mobility of users in a network of moving things. At an access point of a plurality of access points in the network of moving things, a wireless connection may be established using a radio frequency (RF) interface of the first access point, configured for communication of first end-user data by a first end-user device. Quality of communication with the first end-user device may then be assessed, based on at least one quality related parameter, and when the quality of communication fails to meet a particular quality criterion based on the at least one quality related parameter, quality of communication of the end-user device with each of one or more other access points may be evaluated, a particular other access point may be selected, and a request to handle communication of the first end-user data may be transmitted to the selected access point.
