چکیده

In [1], [2], we presented the design, specification and proof of correctness of a fully distributed location management scheme for PCS networks and argued that fully replicating location information is both appropriate and efficient for small PCS networks. In this paper, we analyze the performance of this scheme. Then, we extend the scheme in a hierarchical environment so as to scale to large PCS networks. Through extensive numerical results, we show the superiority of our scheme compared to the current IS-41 standard.

LPKP: location-based probabilistic key pre-distribution scheme for large-scale wireless sensor networks using graph coloring

Communication security of wireless sensor networks is achieved using cryptographic keys assigned to the nodes. Due to resource constraints in such networks, random key pre-distribution schemes are of high interest. Although in most of these schemes no location information is considered, there are scenarios that location information can be obtained by nodes after their deployment. In this paper,...

An efficient fault-tolerant location management protocol for personal communication networks

In this paper, we present an efficient fault-tolerant distributed location management protocol for personal communications service (PCS) networks. It achieves low connection-establishment delay, and under certain conditions, low overall cost compared to the current PCS location management protocol (i.e., IS-41). It also effectively avoids the shortcomings of IS-41, namely, centralized location ...

A Fault-Tolerant and Region-Based Scheme for Mobility Management

One of the most important and challenging issues in the design of personal communication service (PCS) systems is the management of location information. In this paper, we propose a new fault-tolerant and region-based location management scheme, which is based on the cellular quorum system. Due to quorum’s salient set property, our scheme can tolerate the failures of one or more location server...

Location Tracking with Distributed HLR’s and Pointer Forwarding

Location tracking operations in a personal communications services (PCS’s) network are expensive. A location tracking algorithm called pointer forwarding has been proposed to reduce the location update cost. The key observation behind forwarding is that if users change PCS registration areas (RA’s) frequently, but receive calls relatively infrequently, it should be possible to avoid registratio...

Performance Analysis of Existing Location Management Scheme with its Variants in PCS Network

This paper is presenting a comparative study of existing location management scheme with its various variants in Personal Communication Services (PCS) network. The existing location management scheme is based on two tier database architecture; Home Location Register (HLR) and Visitor Location Register (VLR).In the existing location management scheme, there is a single HLR. In the HLR, profile o...
