Abstract :
A location management method is discussed in reference to the classical model of cellular networks based on hexagonal cells. This location management forms two phases; location update and paging phases. The most important criterion of the best location management is to find the optimum interval of location update which results in the minimum energy consumption in a total process of location management. In this paper, the relationship between this optimum location update interval and the speed of the mobile terminal movement is investigated. Simulation results present the optimum location update interval for mobile speeds.
