Design of location erea(LA) in a cellular network is to partition the network into clusters of cells so as to minimize the cost of location updating and paging. Most research works dealing with the LA design problem assume that the call. arrival rate and mobile flow rate are fixed parameters which can be estimated independently. In this aspect, most Problems addressed so far are deterministic LA design problems(DLADP), known to be NP hard. The mobile flow and call arrival rate are, however, varying with time and should be treated simultaneously because the call arrival rate in a cell during a day is influenced by the change of a population size of the cell. This Paper Presents a new model on IA design problems considering the time-dependent call arrival and mobile flow rate. The new model becomes a stochastic LA design problem(SLADP) because It takes into account the possibility of paging waiting and blocking caused by the changing call arrival rate and finite paging capacity. Un order to obtain the optimal solution of the LA design problem, the SIADP is transformed Into the DLADP by introducing the utilization factor of paging channels and the problem is solved iteratively until the required paging quality is satisfied. Finally, an illustrative example reflecting the metropolitan area, Seoul, is provided and the optimal partitions of a cell structure are presented.

The design of LAI(Local Area Identifier), the first paging area for searching the mobile terminal has a close relation with the performance of paging channel in CDMA cellular network. This paper discusses the performance of the forward channel of IS-95 CDMA standard, known as the paging through the related messages such as call control message, channel assignment message. Modeling and simulation work were conducted to quantify the performance of paging channel in terms of traffic handling capacity and blocking levels. This result serves as illustrative guidelines for the proper engineering of common control channel, which has a major impact on the overall performance of cellular network.

In this paper, we propose for improving QoS in wireless micro cellular network using Cellular-IP/PRC(Paging Route Cache) with Paging Cache and Route Cache in Cellular-IP and propose for performance of realtime and non-real time handoff service using Handoff state machine Paging Route Cache. Although the Cellular-IP/PRC technology is devised for mobile internet communication, it bas its vulnerability in frequent handoff environment. On the other hand, Cellular IP combines the capability of cellular networks to provide high performance handoff and efficient location management of active and idle mobile users with the inherent flexibility, robustness and scalability found in IP networks. Also Cellular-IP/PRC use semi-soft handoff. During semi-soft hand off a mobile host may be in contact with either of the old and new base stations and receive packets from them. Packets intended to the mobile node are sent to both base stations and buffered, so when the mobile host eventually moves to the new location it can continue to receive packets without interruption. It should be suitable for realtime service such as multimedia traffic. But, much waste of resource will occur in this method, especially for non-real time services such as FTP and E-mail. Therefore, a new algorithm that performs different handoff according to characteristic of each traffic by use of reserved field in IP packet is proposed in this thesis. This hand off state machine using differentiated handoff improves quality of services in Cellular-IP/PRC. Suggested algorithm shows better performance than existing technology in wireless mobile internet communication environment. Matlab simulation results are improving QoS, show call drop and call blocking provided to Paging Router Cache during handoff state machine in Cellular-IP/PRC.

In this paper, modeling of the communication channel occupancy characteristics at the base station in the wide area radio trunking syste has been performed. Using the results, mathematical analysis for the switching capacity at the network switch has also been done. Specificatlly, we propose a G/M/m queueing model for the single service area modeling, and analyze changes in call blockingprobabilities accoridng to changes in the burstness characteristics of group paging calls. As a result, we have observe dthat the channel occupancy variations become larger as the burstness characteristics become more apparent, to make the call blocking probability higher. Next, based on the single service area analysis, we have anayzed mathematically the average switching capacity required to serve mobile subscribers for a wide area radio trunking sytem, where multiple switching port assignments are required when the people in the same group are distributed over several base stations. Accordingly, we have observed that the average and the variance of switching channel occupancy are closely related to the mobility characteristics of subscribers, and that we need a netowrk switch having bigger capacity as subscribers show wider distribution. Especially, with the call dropping probability within 0.2%, a switch having about 5 to 6 times bigger can be required, compared with the one when the mobility of subscribers is mostly restricte dto a single service area.

The contact procedure of access channel necessary to set up the originating call has a close relation with the performance and capacity of the base station system in CDMA cellular network. This paper investigates the structure and the operation of the backward channel of IS-95 CDMA standard and explains the related system parameters. We can derive the throughput of the CDMA access channel depending on the arrivals of the access probes per access channel slot, given the system parameters such as cell radius, the maximum number of retransmission, and the error rates of the access and paging channel. It shows that the performance in throughput is much better in the CDMA IS-95 access channel than in the slotted aloha channel. It also gives the reasonable number of the trafic channels in a cell with the given blocking probability.
