Abstract

In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview and classification on a wide range of the existing location management schemes which have been reported for wireless cellular networks and Mobile IP-based networks, respectively. In addition, from the various previous literature, we derive common key conceptual techniques, their main design goals and performance considerations on them, which can provide a useful guidance for understanding location management schemes regardless of network types. The aim of this paper is not to propose a new scheme for location management, but to highlight the various key design features involved in the design of the existing location management schemes, and to enhance an insight into the fundamental principles and techniques for designing more efficient and optimized location management scheme in future wireless mobile networks. We expect that regardless of network types, these underlying fundamental principles and conceptual techniques could be also easily tailored for more efficient mobility/QoS support in future mobile computing environments.

본 논문에서는, 무선 셀룰러 네트워크와 Mobile IP 기반의 네트워크를 위해 제안되었던 기존의 다양한 위치 관리 기법들에 대한 광범위한 소개 및 분류법을 제시한다. 또한, 기존에 제안되었던 다양한 위치 관리 기법들로부터, 네트워크의 종류와 관계없이 위치 관리 기법들의 이해를 돕기 위한 유용한 가이드를 제공할 수 있는 공통의 핵심 기술들 및 주요 설계상의 목표와 성능 고려 사항 등을 도출해 낸다. 본 논문의 목적은 위치 관리를 위한 새로운 기법을 제안하는 것이라기보다는, 기존에 제안되었던 위치관리 기법들의 다양한 설계상의 핵심적인 특징들을 도출해내고, 차세대 무선 이동 네트워크에서 보다 효율적이고 최적화된 위치 관리 기법을 설계하기 위해 근간이 되는 핵심 개념 및 기술들에 대한 통찰력을 향상시키는 것을 그 목적으로 한다. 또한, 이러한 근간이 되는 개념 및 기술들은 네트워크의 종류와 관계없이 향후의 이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서 보다 효율적인 이동성 및 서비스 품질 제공을 위해서도 쉽게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되는 바이다.
