Summary: In group location management, when a transportation system (TS) with mobile stations (MSs) changes location area (LA), only a single group location update by the TS is needed, instead of multiple individual location updates by MSs riding on the TS. Therefore, group location management significantly reduces location update signaling of the current individual location management. In this paper, we further improve the conventional group location management, by paging cells containing the route of public TS within an LA only, if an incoming call arrives at an MS riding on the TS, based on the observation that public TS, such as bus, subway, and train, follows a fixed route; its movement is not random. The performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed in terms of total signaling cost based on the modeling of public TS route. Numerical results reveal that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms the conventional scheme from the aspect of total signaling cost, at the expense of small network overhead due to the additional queries needed to acquire public TS route information. | |||||
