Abstract

In this paper we describe a distributed location management scheme to reduce the bottleneck problem of HLR in Large Personal Communication Networks (LPCNs). Using analytical modeling and numerical simulation, we show that replicating location information is both appropriate and efficient for small Personal Communication Network (PCN). Then, we extend the scheme in a hierarchical environment to reduce overhead traffic and scale to LPCNs. Through extensive numerical results, we show the superiority of our scheme compared to the current IS-41 standard scheme.

본 논문에서는 거대한 PCN망에서 HLR의 오버헤드 트래픽을 줄이기 위한 분산위치관리기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 수학적 분석과 시뮬레이션 분석을 통하여 복제하는 위치 정보가 작은 PCN망에서도 효율적이고 적합하다는 것을 보여준다. 또한 위치관리의 오버헤드 트래픽을 더욱 줄이기 위하여 계층환경으로 구성하여 거대한 PCN망의 규모로 확장할 수 있다. 분석 결과를 통해서 제안된 분산위치관리기법이 표준 IS-41기법보다 우수하다는 것을 보인다.
