An effective paging strategy is essential for improving the utility of radio channels. This paper proposes a two-step paging strategy which involves using base station paging agents to page a single cell at each paging. An analytical model is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed strategy. The proposed strategy is compared with the traditional simultaneous paging strategy and a recent proposal using the base station paging agents. The numerical results showed that the proposed strategy proficiently reduces paging cost on radio channels compared with other paging strategies.

Due to limited radio resource, an effective paging strategy is essential for improving the utility of radio channels. In current mobile communication networks, when a mobile-terminated call occurs, the network locates the mobile by paging all cells within the location area simultaneously. In this study, we introduces paging strategies that can page some cells or only one cell within the location area to reduce paging cost on radio channels using paging agents. We propose another new paging strategy that can page only one cell within the location area and may have better performance. We also compare the performance of our proposed paging strategy with the performance of the current simultaneous paging strategy and some new paging strategies using paging agents. This paper suggests the most effective paging strategy using mathematical models. The result of this research will be used to select a proper paging strategy in the mobile communication networks.

본 논문에서는 이동통신의 무선망 구간에서 페이징(paging) 용량을 최대화하기 위한 지능형 페이징 기법을 제안하였다. 한정된 무선 자원을 효율적으로 이용하기 위하여 지능형 페이징 기법들이 연구되어 왔는데 이 방식에서는 위치 영역을 여러 개의 작은 페이징 영역들로 나누어서 순차적으로 찾아나간다. 기존의 지능형 페이징 방식에서는 주로 페이징 대상 단말의 위치 확률 분포를 이용하여 페이징 영역들을 도출한다. 하지만, 이러한 접근 방식들은 각 셀마다 페이징 트래픽이 불균등하게 분포되는 문제를 가진다. 이에 따라서 전체적으로 낮은 페이징 부하 상황에서도 페이징 트래픽이 병목인 셀이 존재하고 이 셀의 기지국 페이징 메시지 큐가 넘침으로써 페이징 메시지가 손실되는 문제가 발생하게 된다. 제안하는 방식에서는 각 셀의 페이징 트래픽 분포 상황을 감안하여 페이징 트래픽을 가능하면 셀마다 균등하게 분포하도록 페이징 영역을 결정한다. 성능 평가 결과 제안하는 방식은 페이징 처리 용량 측면에서 기존 방식들에 비해서 월등히 좋은 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

We propose a new paging strategy to reduce paging cost by adding paging agents at base stations. When a mobile-terminated call occurs, the base stations look up the paging agents to determine if terminal paging is actually to be made. An analytical model based on a Markov chain is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed strategy. The numerical results show that the proposed strategy significantly reduces the paging cost compared with the simultaneous paging strategy.

This study considers paging schemes that can page some cells or only one cell within the location area to reduce paging cost by using PAs (Paging Agents) and compares their performances by using a new analytic method. There are three ways of paging schemes using PAs; BSPA (Base Staton Paging Agent), 2SPA (2-Step Paging Agent), LAPA (Location Area Paging Agent). This study proposes exact performance of BSPA and 2SPA using a new analytic method based on Markov chain modeling to find the most efficient paging scheme. Numerical results for various circumstances are presented by using proposed analytic method to select a proper paging scheme in mobile communication networks.

IP 기반의 이동 네트워크에서 페이징 메커니즘을 IP 계층에서 처리하는 기술(즉, IP 페이징)은 이동 단말의 전력 소모와 위치 등록 시그널링 부하를 감소시켜주며, 이기종 무선 액세스 기술들을 지원하는 것을 가능하게 한다. 그러나, 통신이 매우 빈번한 환경 하에서는 증가하는 페이징 시그널링 부하와 잦은 페이징 지연으로 인하여 오히려 IP 페이징의 사용은 역효과를 초래할 수도 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는, 이러한 IP 페이징의 문제점을 해결하고자, 이동 단말이 자신의 프로파일 정보에 기반하여 선택적인 위치 등록 및 페이징을 수행할 수 있도록 하는 비용 효율적인 IP 페이징 기법을 제안한다. 성능 평가 결과, 제안 기법은 IP 기반의 계층적 이동 네트워크에서 상당한 정도의 페이징 시그널링 부하와 잦은 페이징 지연을 감소시킬 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.

Consider connection-oriented wireless cellular net-works. To establish a circuit or virtual circuit in such a network, a paging message is broadcast over a region at which the destined mobile station is presumed to reside, (identified as a paging area). For an effective paging mechanism, it is desirable to provide the location information of mobile stations to the network. In this paper, we consider a mobile controlled location update scheme under which each mobile station periodically reports its current location information to the network by using an inherent timer (without measuring the power of signals transmitted from base stations). Based on the latest information about a mobile station's location, a paging area is selected to page the mobile station. Note that under this scheme, a mobile station may not yet have reported its location change while sojourning out of the current paging area. In such situation, the mobile station can not receive a paging message destined to it. Frequent location updates can reduce the paging failure rate incurred by mobile stations'sojourning out of the paging area. However, larger bandwidth is needed for location update as the location update rate is increased. On the other hand, as the size of the paging area is increased, the paging failure rate is decreased, while larger bandwidth is required for paging. Thus, we first present a model for mobility, paging and location update processes, and secondly investigate the effect of network parameters on the paging failure rate and the amount of bandwidth used for paging and location update. Finally, we formulate problems to find proper values for the location update rate and paging area size under the constraints on the bandwidth usage levels for location update and paging.

We consider connection-oriented wireless cellular networks such as the second generation wireless cellular networks and wirelss ATM networks. In these networks, a separate forward signaling channel is provided for the transmission of paging and channel allocation packets. When a call destined to a user is requested, all the base stations in the user's current location area broadcast the corresponding paging packet across forward signaling channels. By slot mode operation and paging group allocation for fusers in a location area, we can reduce relative power consumption level at battery-operated terminals. However, a sthe number of paging groups is increased for lowering relative power consumption level, a paging packet experiences higher delay to access the forward signaling channel. For the pre-negotiated quality-of-service level, paging packet delay level must be limited. In this paper, we consider static and dynamic multiplexing schemes for paging packets, and develop an analytical method for calculating paging packet delay and relative power consumption levels. Using this analytial method, we investigate the effect of network parameters on the paging packet delay and relative power consumption levels.

In personal communication systems location management of mobile terminals is required to connect incoming calls to the mobile terminals. Investigation of effective location update and paging strategies is important to reduce the cost of location management. In this study, we propose a paging strategy considering the mobile terminals' residence patterns. The first paging area is characterized by the set of cells in the location area where mobile terminals usually stay for a significant period of time. The rest of cells in the location area are included into the second paging area. To reduce the paging cost the first paging area is decided by reflecting various residence patterns of mobile terminals. For an incoming call, the sequential paging is performed in the order of the paging area. Thus the paging cost is greatly reduced, especially when the called mobile terminal is located in the first paging area. The proposed strategy is expected to be more effective than an existing strategy that uses the anchor cell in the location area.

In personal communication systems, location management of mobile terminals is required to connect incoming calls to the mobile terminals. Investigation of effective location update and paging strategies is important to reduce the cost of location management. In this study, we propose a paging strategy considering the mobile terminals' residence patterns. The first paging area is introduced, which is characterized by the set of cells in the location area where mobile terminals usually stay for a significant period of time. We propose the decision criterion of the first paging area by comparing the cost against zone-based strategy. For an incoming call. we perform the sequential paging by the order of the first paging area and the rest of cells in the location area called by the second paging area. Thus the paging cost is greatly reduced, especially when the called mobile terminal is located in the first paging area. The proposed strategy is expected to be more effective than existing strategy using anchor cell in the location area because it reflects various residence patterns of mobile terminals.
