A Ring Removal Movement-Based Mobility Location Update Scheme

Future Personal Communication Service (PCS) networks adopt smaller cells to accommodate continuously growing population of subscribers, which results in frequent location update and consequently higher signaling cost. In this paper, a ring removal movement-based location update scheme with a selective paging is proposed. This location update scheme reduces the location updates by removing the ring formed in terminal’s movement path. Numerical results show that the proposed movement-based update scheme provides a better performance than the improved movement-based registration (IMBR) scheme [1] when the terminal’s callto- mobility (CMR) ratio [2] is small.
