  Abstract

In a microcell environment having frequent inter-cell movement of a subscriber, the amount of signalling traffic rapidly increases due to the treatment of location update and other necessary actions. As a way to reduce such an overhead, this paper presents an algorithm that dynamically allocates subscribers paging and location areas each of which has a different size and shape, depending on the characteristics of subscriber mobility. Mathematical analysis results show that this algorithm allows reduced area management cost, compared to conventional algorithms.
