The discontinuous coverage of picocells causes the increased registration signaling
overhead in the picocell/macrocell network where the dense picocells overlapped with a …

Femtocell technology has been proposed to offload user data traffic from the macrocell to the
femtocell and extend the limited coverage of the macrocell in mobile communications …

This paper has proposed a cost-effective location tracking method for future generation
macrocell-femtocell based LTE network where femtocells are deployed within the …

Small Cells (SCs) have emerged as one of the main solutions to the exponential growth of
data in mobile networks. Still, some key challenges lack an adequate solution for SCs to …

Due to the current popularity of wireless communication, personal communication service
networks have attracted a lot of attention. As mobile terminals (MTs) in such networks have …

Location update/paging strategies have been widely studied in the traditional single-tier
cellular networks. We propose and evaluate a novel crossing-tier location update/paging …

LTE networks consist of tracking areas (TAs) or a group of cells, while several TAs constitute
a TA list (TAL). The LTE network adopts TAL-based registration, where, if the user …

Internet of Things (IoT) applications are connecting several Mobile Stations (MSs) to form the
Mobile Communication Network (MCN). MSs are moving through macrocell and picocell …

A new scheme is developed for optimal location area design in wireless systems. New
algorithms based on intercell traffic prediction and traffic-based cell grouping are used to …

Reducing the total signaling overhead of tracking and paging user equipments (UEs) is one
of the most challenging problems in the study of location management of cellular networks …
