Many schemes have been proposed and investigated extensively in the past to improve performance. Profile-based scheme (PBS) is one of them, which uses the user routine information stored in the user profile to reduce location update signaling traffic. To improve PBS performance, in this paper, a new location management scheme called the mobility-pattern-based scheme (MPBS) is proposed, which incorporates the time information in the user profile so that a user's current location can be determined by his/her movement state and the current system time. Extensive simulations have been carried out, and the results show that the MPBS scheme can mitigate the signaling traffic load significantly while reducing paging delay at the same time. © 2007 IEEE.application/pdf913879 bytesapplication/pdfen-USLocation management; Mobility management; Personal communication systems; User mobility pattern (UMP)Computer simulation; Telecommunication networks; Telecommunication services; Telecommunication traffic; Wireless networks; Signaling traffic; User mobility pattern (UMP); Wireless communication networks; Personal communication systemsjournal article10.1109/TVT.2006.8837432-s2.0-33847620251http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/155242/1/14.pdf
