One of the main building blocks and major challenges for 5G cellular systems is the design
of flexible network architectures which can be realized by the software defined networking …

Planning of location area (LA) in cellular networks plays a vital role in utilizing the resources
efficiently and economically. Location update and paging costs directly affect the cost to the …

In future cellular networks, tracking areas (TAs) that are defined for location management
purposes will be frequently updated to cope with changes in user trends. In this paper, an …

Reducing the overhead required for tracing mobile devices is one of the major aspects in the
study of mobility management of a cellular network. The Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems …

In managing the locations of mobile users in mobile communication systems, the distance-
based strategy has been proven to have better performance than other dynamic strategies …

When planning the Tracking Areas (TAs) for a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, the main
concern of mobile operators is to achieve the minimization of both location update cost and …

In this paper, we propose an extension to the personal communication services (PCS)
location management protocol which uses dynamically overlapped registration areas. The …

In this paper, we propose a hybrid location-update scheme, which combines the time-and
movement-based location-update approaches. In the proposed scheme, a mobile user …

A key component in location management in Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks is the
design of tracking areas (TAs). TA design must be revised over time in order to adapt to …

Third-generation mobile systems provide access to a wide range of services and enable
mobile users to communicate, regardless of their geographical location and their roaming …
