A paging network (see Figure 1) begins at the connection to the public switched network or telephone lines. The caller can initiate a page through voice mail or a paging operator, or can leave a message by entering touchtones from a telephone. Pages are assembled in the paging terminal and sent to the network controller, where they are combined into batches based on their final destination. Bil...

Multipaging is the paging problem when more than one page can be requested at each step [3]. In the uniform cost model, a paging algorithm is charged for the number of pages loaded from disk to fast memory. In this note, we establish a general reduction from uniform multipaging to paging. As a consequence, we obtain the rst strongly competitive randomized algorithm for uniform multipaging.

Terminal paging is a procedure to locate a called mobile host (MH), which registered only approximated location information. The paging aims to reduce signalling overhead and power consumption in the MH. Recently, IP paging protocol has been widely designed for the terminal paging in IP-based mobile networks. However, since any power save mechanism is not supported in IP layer by itself, it is ...

IP-based IMT Network Platform(IP) is an ubiquitous platform supporting mobility using two step IP address mode converting – IP host address(IPha) and IP routing address(IPra) – in a backbone network. Mobile Node(MN) in IP maintains its state as either active or dormant state, which is transferred to active state through Paging process when communication is required. In this paper, we proposed a...

This report presents a survey on location registration and paging strategies for next generation wireless systems. The location registration and paging schemes covered in this report include a thorough examination of the current research and industrial activities on location management, considering the integration of pico-cell, micro-cell, macro-cell, and satellite communication systems. In par...

The mobility feature of mobile stations (MSs) imposes a large burden on network traffic control as a result of location management. Design issues of location management include MS registration (updating) and call set-up (paging). Previous approaches introduced several network topologies for updating and paging procedures, but most of them focused on a single problem: either updating optimizatio...

Paging is a process to locate mobile terminals in wireless systems, which is initiated by the users calling from a fired or mobile environment. In particular, paging issue in IMT-2000 systems is very important to maintain the wireless services to the mobile subscribers who are allowed to roam in different systems instead of stand-alone systems. In this paper, we introduce a predictive paging sc...

Terminal mobility(TM) and personal mobility (PM) should work together to provide mobility to mobile users in fixed and mobile networks. TM supports movement between different areas with in the same region. In mobility management, an MT (Mobile Terminal) updates its location when it changes its location and all calls are delivered to the MT by paging all cells within that registered location are...

| We consider a probability criterion based location tracking scheme for personal communications systems. This scheme seeks to minimize the average signaling cost due to both paging and registration for individual mobile users. A timer-based location update and a single-step dynamic paging procedure are used. Each user-network interaction resets the timer and modiies location record. The user r...

Traditional operating systems use magnetic disks as paging devices, even though the cost of a disk transfer measured in processor cycles continues to increase. In this paper we explore the use of remote main memory for paging. We describe the design , implementation and evaluation of a pager that uses main memory of remote workstations as a faster-than-disk paging device and provides reliabilit...
