In this paper, we evaluate the performance of zone-based registration. First, we propose a mobility function for single zone-based registration. And we establish the circumstances of multiple zone-based registration, which is based on the mobility function for single zone-based registration, and perform simulation programs for the circumstances. Using the simulation results, we obtain optimal N, the number of multiple zones which minimizes signalling traffic in radio channels. Results show that in most cases optimal N is 2. Multiple zone-based registration has less signalling traffic in radio channels than single zone-based registration and zone-based registration must be implemented as multiple zone-based registration.

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of zone-based registration and distance-based registration. First, we propose the mobility model which can be used to analyze the performance of both zone-based registration and distance-based registration. And using the proposed mobility model, we obtain several performance measures and perform numerical computation to compare the performance of two registration methods. Numerical results show that in general zone-based registration needs less number of registration than distance-based registration. On the other hand, if distance-based registration is used, registration load is equally distributed to all cells in a location area and ping-pong phenomenon is not occurred. And when a VLR area is composed of a few location areas, distance-based registration may need less registration load than zone-based registration. Therefore, a proper registration method should be selected considering system circumstances and implementation complexity, and the selected method should be implemented so as to change system parameters according to system circumstances.

In this study, we consider zone-based registration (ZBR). In the ZBR, when a mobile station (MS) enters a new location area (LA), it registers its location. Among various types of ZBR, we focus on two zone-based registration with outgoing call (TZRC) that is an improved version of the two zone-based registration (TZR). In the TZR, an MS can store two LAs that it registers recently not to register when it crosses two LAs stored already. In general, TZR has better performance than single zone-based registration (SZR). However, since the TZR may increase paging cost, TZRC was proposed to decrease paging cost. Mathematical analysis is performed to obtain the exact performance of SZR, TZR, TZRC. From the numerical results for various circumstances, it is shown that TZRC outperforms TZR and SZR in most cases.

An efficient mobility management for mobile stations plays an important role in mobile communication networks. Even though many a mobility management schemes have been proposed, most of mobile communication networks adopt the mobility scheme based on zone-based registration. This paper studies the mobility management scheme that combines zone-based registration and 2-step selective paging. We assume cell by cell registration area, not ring by ring registration area of previous studies, and set up a new mobility model based on 2-dimensional random walk model considering the characteristic of zone-based registration to evaluate its performance exactly. We provide numerical results using proposed model to demonstrate the performance of zone-based registration and 2-step selective paging under various circumstances.

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of zone-based registration, distance-based registration and distance-based registration considering call arrival. We propose the mobility model, which can be used to analyze the performance of three registration schemes. Numerical results show that zone-based registration needs less number of registration than distance-based registration. On the other hand, the registration load of the distance-based registration is equally distributed to all cells in a location area. However, the registration load of the distance-based registration considering call arrival is similar to that of zone-based registration and equally distributed to all cells in a location am Therefore, the proposed scheme can be effectively used restricted radio resources.

Many strategies have been proposed to reduce mobility management cost. Among them, in this paper, we study three schemes of zone-based registrationthat have been adopted by most of mobile systems. These special schemes are referred to as the single-zone-based registration (SZR), the two-zone-based registration (TZR) and the two-zone-based registration with outgoing call (TZRC) respectively. We propose a mathematical model to evaluate the performance of TZRC in order to compare with those of SZR and TZR. Numerical results show that TZRC outperforms not only SZR but also TZR in most cases.

본 논문은 이동망에서 위치등록 방식에 따른 성능평가에 관한 것이다. 먼저 거리기반 위치등록 방식을 제안하고, 이를 이동망 모델에 적용하여 성능을 평가하였다. 제안한 방식과 기존의 지역기반 위치등록 방식과의 성능을 비교, 평가한 결과, 거리기반 위치등록 방식은 지역기반 위치등록 방식과 위치 등록에 따른 부하는 대동소이하나 주어진 지역내에서 모든 셀들이 고르게 분포하여 주파수 자원이 효율적으로 사용됨을 알 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 호의 도착을 고려한 거리기준 위치등록 방식을 제안하고 성능을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 이동성 모형을 제시하고, 이를 이용하여 제안한 방식의 성능을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 거리기준 위치등록 방식은 영역기준 위치등록 방식에 비하여 위치등록이 자주 발생하지만 위치등록 부하가 위치영역 내 모든 셀에 분산된다. 반면에 호의 도착을 고려한 거리기준 위치등록 방식의 위치등록 부하는 영역기준 위치등록 방식과 비슷한 수준이면서도 위치등록 부하가 위치영역 내 모든 셀에 분산되기 때문에 한정된 무선자원을 효율적으로 사용할 수 있다.

An efficient mobility management for mobile stations plays an important role in mobile communication network. Two basic operations of mobility management are location registration and paging. A zone-based registration (ZBR) is implemented in most of mobile communication systems and we consider the mobility management scheme that combines a zone-based registration and a selective paging (SP). We propose new analytical model that can reflect on the characteristics of the ZBR based on 2-dimensional random walk mobility model and more efficient paging schemes considering the proposed model. We evaluate the performance of the mobility management scheme with our mobility model to determine the optimal size of location area that will result in the minimum signaling traffic on radio channels. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate that our mobility model is useful to evaluate the ZBR more exactly.

This study considers zone-based registration (ZBR), which is adopted by most mobile cellular networks. In ZBR, a user equipment (UE) registers its location area (or zone) in a network database (DB) whenever it enters a new zone. Even though ZBR is implemented in most networks for a UE to keep only one zone (1ZR), it is also possible for a UE to keep multiple zones. Therefore, a ZBR with two zones (2ZR) is investigated, and some mathematical models for 2ZR are presented. With respect to ZBR with three zones (3ZR), several studies have been reported, but these employed computer simulations owing to the complexity of the cases, and there have been no reports on a mathematical 3ZR model to analyze its performance. In this study, we propose a new mathematical model for 3ZR for the first time, and analyze the performance of 3ZR using this model. The numerical results for various scenarios show that, as the UE frequently enters zones, the proposed 3ZR model outperforms 1ZR and 2ZR. Our results help determine the optimal number of zones that a UE keeps, and minimize the signaling cost for radio channels in mobile cellular networks.
