Abstract
Mobility tracking operations in personal communication systems are signalling consuming. Several strategies have been proposed in the literature to reduce both, the location update and the paging cost. In this paper we propose a location tracking algorithm called Three Location Area (TrLA), combined with selective paging. In the TrLA, the mobile terminal (MT) allocates in its own local memory the identification of three LAs. Each LA is composed by a cluster of several cells. Each time the MT enters into a new LA, it triggers a location update message towards the fixed network (FN) and updates its cache memory. Two steps selective paging is also considered and compared with the single step or non selective paging. An analytical model based in a semimarkov process has been used to evaluate our proposal. This new scheme, can easily be implemented in existing standard cellular and personal communication systems, we believe.
