Ant-system-based location management scheme for wireless cellular networks

The current era of mobile networks allow users to communicate while they are moving. These network facilities are dealt by the location management (LM). In this article, the authors are proposing a nature-inspired LM technique based on ant system. The bottom line of proposed scheme is to follow the route of ahead entities and perform the LM based on it. The performance evaluation is carried out and is compared with existing LM scheme. It is observed that the signalling cost, network traffic and overheads are reduced, as compared to traditional LM scheme, in the communication network.
