1. A method of operating a controller that manages mobility of a plurality of end-user devices in a network of moving things, the method comprising:
receiving, from an end-user device of the plurality of end-user devices via a first access point of the network, a request to establish a wireless connection with the network;
determining a communication parameter associated with the end-user device, wherein the communication parameter is configured for use in enabling wireless communication via the network, wherein the determining comprises:
if the end-user device is not known to the controller, assigning the communication parameter to the end-user device; and
if the end-user device is known to the controller, retrieving the communication parameter; and
sending the communication parameter to the end-user device.
