Abstract

In this paper, we propose a cost-effective location and service management scheme in LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks, which a per-user service proxy is created to serve as a gateway between the mobile user and all client-server applications engaged by the mobile user. The service proxy is always co-located with the mobile user's location database such that whenever the MU's location database moves during a location hand-off, a service hand-off also ensues to co-locate the service proxy with the location database. This allows the proxy to know the location of the mobile user all the time to reduce the network communication cost for service delivery. We analyze four integrated location and service management schemes. Our results show that the centralized scheme performs the best when the mobile user's SMR (service to mobility ratio) is low and ${\upsilon}$(session to mobility ratio) is high, while the fully distributed scheme performs the best when both SMR and ${\upsilon}$ are high. In all other conditions, the dynamic anchor scheme is the best except when the service context transfer cost is high under which the static anchor scheme performs the best. Through analytical results, we demonstrate that different users with vastly different mobility and service patterns should adopt different integrated location and service management methods to optimize system performance.

LTE네트워크에서 사용자별 비용효과적인 위치 및 서비스 관리에 대하여 모바일 사용자와 해당 사용자와 연계된 모든 클라이언트-서버 어플리케이션의 게이트웨이역할을 하는 서비스 프록시를 생성하는 기법을 제안한다. 서비스 프록시는 항상 모바일 사용자의 위치 데이터베이스와 함께 위치하게 되는데 위치 핸드오프가 발생할 때 모바일 사용자의 위치 데이터베이스도 같이 옮겨지며 그때마다 서비스 프록시가 위치 데이터베이스와 함께 위치하기 위한 서비스 핸드오프가 연속하여 일어나게 된다. 이것은 서비스가 전달될 때 네트워크 비용을 줄이기 위해 프록시를 통하여 사용자 위치정보를 알 수 있게 한다. 네 가지의 기법에 대해 분석한 결과, 중앙 관리형 기법은 모바일 사용자의 SMR(service to mobility ratio)이 낮고 ${\upsilon}$(session to mobility ratio)가 높을 때 좋은 성능을 보이고, 분산 기법은 SMR과 ${\upsilon}$가 모두 높은 경우에 좋은 성능을 나타낸다. 서비스 내용에 대한 전송비용이 높을 때는 정적 앵커 기법이 가장 좋은 성능을 보이지만, 이 경우를 제외하고 거의 모든 조건에서는 동적 앵커 기법이 가장 좋은 성능을 나타낸다. 결과적으로 각기 다른 이동성과 서비스 패턴들을 갖고 있는 사용자들에게 시스템 성능을 최적화하기 위해서는 그 상황에 맞는 차별화된 비용효과적인 위치 및 서비스 관리 기법을 적용해야 한다는 것을 보여준다.
