Each computer user wants to access the computing resources, irrespective of the location. Because of this need the computing paradigm "Mobile Computing" has assumed a primary role in modern computer communication technology. While dimensioning the network resources, it is very important to know how the users move around the geographical area covered by the cellular network. This knowledge allows us to plan the system resources in order to achieve the QoS required. The major factors that affect the performance, along with the mobility pattern of the mobile user, are the speed at which the user is moving and the load on the network. In this research, we study different types of mobility patterns the user can follow and it's impact on the network services. We have proposed and evaluated a reservation scheme to improve the QoS in the cellular network. The reservation scheme reserves some part of the bandwidth for handoff connections. We have developed simulation programs and have studied three mobility patterns namely leading movement type, random motion, and square-street mobility pattern for measuring the QoS for cellular network. It has been observed from the results that at an average speed of 50 miles per hour with the average loading of the network, a significant improvement in QoS has been achieved for all the mobility patterns by using the reservation scheme.
