Roaming

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
roaming
The ability to use a communications device such as a cellphone or PDA and be able to move from one cell or access point to another without losing the connection.
Roaming 

of animals for pasture, the migrations of populations of animals within a relatively small area in search of food and places to rest; one of the types of animal migration. In roaming for pasture, the animals move to an area that touches or overlaps their previous area, usually their mating grounds. Roaming usually takes place during a particular season of the year and often during a certain time of day. Roaming for pasture is widespread among mountain mammals; for many birds (rooks, starlings) roaming precedes the seasonal migration, and for others (bullfinches) roaming takes place all fall and winter. Some invertebrates move daily from one level of vegetation to another, depending upon such conditions as temperature and humidity.
