Call arrival history-based strategy: Adaptive location tracking in personal communication networks

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a call arrival history-based location tracking strategy for a variable call arrival rate over Lime. The basis of the proposed strategy is a time-based location tracking strategy. A mobile terminal obtains the up-to-date information about changes in the call arrival rate by maintaining its call arrival history, from which it can calculate an appropriate timeout interval for a variable call arrival rate. We present a simple analytical model and numerical results to investigate its performance for both a fixed and a variable call arrival rate which is modeled by a Markov-modulated Poisson process.
