Location management is difficult in ad hoc networks due to many features such as the lack of a wired infrastructure, the scarce energy, memory and processing capabilities of nodes, and nodes’ movement which leads to a dynamic topology. These characteristics make the location management schemes designed for mobile cellular networks inefficient for ad hoc networks. New solutions for location management have therefore been proposed in the literature in the recent past. In this paper, a taxonomy of location management strategies is presented; some of the more interesting approaches proposed in the literature are critically discussed, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages.

그룹 위치 관리에서는 복수의 이동 가입자(MS: mobile subscriber)가 승차하고 있는 운송 시스템(TS: transportation system)이 위치 영역(LA: location area)을 변경시, MS의 개별 위치 등록 없이 TS의 그룹 위치 등록만을 통해 위치 관리를 수행한다. 기존의 연구에서는 대부분 그룹 위치 관리의 LA를 개별 위치 관리의 LA와 동일하게 가정하고 있으나 승차상태의 MS들은 이동 속도나 총 착신호 도착률의 관점에서 하차상태의 MS와 다른 특성을 가지고 있어 동일한 크기의 LA를 가정하는 것은 적절하지 않다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 서로 다른 크기의 LA를 가지는 개별 및 그룹 위치관리에 기반한 효과적인 위치 관리 기법을 제안하고, 그 성능을 무선 구간에서 신호 비용의 측면에서 분석하였다. 분석 결과 제안 기법은 그룹 위치 관리를 위한 적절한 크기의 LA를 선택함으로써 기존 기법보다 우수한 성능을 가지게 됨을 보였다.

Location management is very important in location-based services to provide services to the mobile users like banking, city guides and many more. Ubiquitous and mobile devices are the source of data in location management and its significant operations are update and search method. Some studies to improve these were presented by using optimal sequential paging, location area scheme and hierarchical database scheme. In addition, not all location services have the same access methods on data and it lead to difficulties of providing services. A proposed location management of multi-agent architecture is presented in this study. It shows the coordination of the agents on the distributed database of location-based services. The proposal focuses on the location management of the mobile object presented in a hierarchical search and update. Also, it uses a nearest neighbor technique for efficient search method of mobile objects.

IP mobility can be handled in different layers of the protocol. Mobile IP has been proposed to handle the mobility of Internet hosts in the network layer. Recently, a new method based on the SIGMA mobility architecture has been proposed to support mobility management with reduced packet loss and latency. The location management structure is not suitable for frequent mobile handover due to the high mobility of the user with this transport layer solution. In this paper, we propose a location management optimization method in a mobile communication network by applying hierarchical location management using MMPs(Mobility Management Points) for transport layer mobility management. Therefore, we propose an efficient hierarchical mobility management structure even between heterogeneous wireless networks using MMPs for the probability that a mobile terminal can change multiple location areas between two messages and calls. The proposed method shows reduction in location update cost and data retrieval cost using MMPs, and as opposed to mobility appearing in time intervals with the minimum cost required to reach 90% of the stabilized cost, the mobility location update search, location It was found that the message processing cost per area was reduced.

Location management is very important issue in wireless communication system to trace mobile users' exact location. In this study, we propose a dynamic location area management scheme which determines the size of dynamic location area considering each user's characteristic. In determining the optimal location area size, we consider the measurement data as well as the historical data, which contains call arrival rate and average speed of each mobile user. In this mixture of data, the weight of historical data is derived by linear searching method which guarantees the minimal cost of location management. We also introduce the regularity index which can be calculated by using the autocorrelation of historical data itself. Statistical validation shows that the regularity index is the same as the weight of measurement data. As a result, the regularity index is utilized to incorporate the historical data into the measurement data. By applying the proposed scheme, the location management cost is shown to decrease. Numerical examples illustrate such an aspect of the proposed scheme.

In this paper, we analyze a time-based update method in location management and calculate the optimal time-interval. The probability that an MT is j rings away from the center cell is obtained by computer programming. And using these values, an exact analysis is made for the time-based location management cost. From the result, when the time-based method is applied to location update, we can get the optimal time-interval which minimizes the location management cost.

증가하는 이동 통신망 가입자를 수용하기 위한 셀 크기의 소형화는 잦은 위치 갱신을 유발시켜 위치 관리 비용의 증가를 가져왔다. 본 논문에서는 [l]에서 향후과제로 남겨두었던 호 수신 확률에 근거한 위치 관리 기법의 비용을 분석하여 제안된 기법이 기존의 방식(IS-41)보다 위치 관리 비용을 줄일. 수 있음을 증명하였다. 그리고 분석에 의해 계산된 위치 관리 비용을 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교해 보았다. 그 결과, 제안된 기법은 단말의 호 도착률이 낮은 경우, 위치 갱신을 생략하는데서 얻어지는 비용의 감소로 기존의 위치 관리 기법보다 전체 위치 관리 비용을 줄일 수 있으며, 호 도착률이 높아지더라도 위치 관리 비용이 기존 방식의 위치 관리 비용을 초과하지 않음을 보였다.

Location area planning (LAP) problem is to partition the cellular/mobile network into location areas with the objective of minimizing the total cost in location management. The minimum cost has two components namely location update cost and searching cost. Location update cost is incurred when the user changes itself from one location area to another in the network. The searching cost incurred when a call arrives, the search is done only in the location area to find the user. Hence, it is important to find a compromise between the location update and paging operations such that the cost of mobile terminal location tracking cost is a minimum. The complete mobile network is divided into location areas. Each location area consists of a group of cells. This partitioning problem is a difficult combinatorial optimization problem. In this paper, we use particle swarm optimization (PSO) to obtain the best/optimal group of cells for 16, 36, 49, and 64 cells network. Experimental studies illustrate that PSO is more efficient and surpasses those of precious studies for these benchmarking problems.

Location Based Services, or LBS refers to value-added service by processing information utilizing mobile user location. With the rapidly increasing wireless internet subscribers and world LBS market, the various location based applications are introduced such as buddy finder, proximity and security services. As the killer application of the wireless internet, the LBS has preconsidered technology about location determination technology, LBS middleware server for various application, and diverse contents processing technology. This paper describes the open architecture for LBS platform ensuring interoperability among the wireless networks and various location-based application services and the functional requirements for the LBS platform. The LBS platform in a narrow sense provides a standard interfaces for location management and network management for location services as follows, positioning (location acquisition through network or/and handset), location managing, location based functions, profile management, authentication and security, location based billing, information roaming between carriers and the system monitoring independent to specific network or ISP/CPs(Content Providers).
