This paper studies the location management problem in cellular wireless networks. We propose a HandoffVelocity Prediction (HVP) scheme to minimize the paging cost in searching a mobile terminal. HVP is based on the assumptions that the movement behavior of mobile terminals has temporal and spatial properties. Based on handoff statistics, the system maintains a handoff graph to describe the move...

This paper considers the problem of paging under the assumption that the sequence of pages accessed is generated by a Markov chain. We use this model to study the fault-rate of paging algorithms. We first draw on the theory of Markov decision processes to characterize the paging algorithm that achieves optimal fault-rate on any Markov chain. Next, we address the problem of devising a paging str...

The Paragon operating system (OS) supports virtual memory (VM). The OS manages virtual memory by performing two services. Firstly, paging-in service pages the executable code from the service node to the compute nodes. This includes the paging-in of empty data corresponding to statically allocated arrays. Secondly, pagingout service is performed by paging the unused part of the OSF server to th...

IEEE 802.16j is an emerging wireless broadband networking standard that integrates infrastructure base stations with multihop relay technology. Based on the idle mode operation in IEEE 802.16j, we propose a novel location management and paging scheme. It integrates the paging area based and the timer-based location update mechanism. In paging area based scheme, an idle mode mobile station updat...

Mobile IP is a solution for mobility on the global Internet. However, the basic Mobile IP does not support paging. The main benefit of providing paging services is to save the battery power consumption at mobile terminals. Next generation Internet is expected to support multimedia communications. For real-time data traffic, Quality of Service (QoS) provision must be guaranteed. The Resource Res...

Location Management of mobile users in a cellular network covers tracking and paging (searching) functionality. In this paper a sequential search strategy is proposed which reduces the signaling on the air interface and also considers the user’s privacy using implicit addresses. After introducing some related work on paging and reducing the costs of paging, the basic idea of the search strategy...

The presentaflon of paging data to management in an easily understood form has been a persistent problem. This paper examines a graphical technique for-presenting paging data activity as a relative fraction of the system's total I/O activity. This technique will also be used to comment on the benefits of paging into Expanded Storage on the new IBM 3090 series of processors.

To cope with the increasing demand of wireless communication services multi-carrier systems are being used. Radio resources are very limited and efficient usages of these resources are inevitable to get optimum performance of the system. Paging channel is a low-bandwidth channel and one of the most important channels on which system performance depends significantly. Therefore it is vulnerable ...
