Title
Last Interaction Based Paging in Mobile Cellular Networks
Abstract
In a mobile network, the paging operation is used to indicate the subscriber's position in order to establish a connection with another user, calling from a fixed or mobile environment. The currently employed scheme, blanket paging, incurs a significant cost in radio bandwidth utilization and is cost-effective only in small networks. In this paper, we introduce a new strategy that combines an optimal partitioning of the location area with a model to predict user movements, based on the additional information of the cell where the last interaction between the network and the terminal took place. We study the performance of the strategy under delay bounds and different mobility and call arrival characteristics. It is found that the new scheme further minimizes signaling costs and enhances previous sequential paging algorithms.
