Analysis of Dynamic Movement-Based Location Update Scheme for PCS Networks

Location management is a key issue in Personal Communication Service (PCS) networks. Performance analysis plays important roles in the implementation of location management methods and system design in PCS networks. Existing PCS networks have the Home Location Registers (HLR's) and Visitor Location Registers (VLR's) architecture for location management. Some interesting dyanmic location management methods are proposed to impro ve the system performance of PCS networks. However, the existing performance analysis of the dyanmic location management methods are simple and not av ail-able for PCS networks with real HLR/VLR architecture. One of the reasons is the complexity and difficulty of the problem. In this paper, we challenge the problem and successfully establish a new analytical model available for the analysis of the important dynamic movement-based location update scheme for PCS networks.
