Abstract
Mobility management in cellular communication systems is needed to guarantee quality of service, and to offer advanced services based on the user location. High mobility of terminals determines a high effort to predict next movement in order to grant a correct transition to the next phone cell. Then a fuzzy method dealing with the problem of determining the propagation path of a mobile terminal is introduced in this paper. Since multi-path fading and attenuation make difficult to determine the position of a terminal, the use of fuzzy symbols to model this situation allows to work better with this imprecise (fuzzy) information. Finally, the use of a fuzzy automaton allows to improve significatively the final recognition rate of the path followed by a mobile terminal.
