Cell-related location area planning for 4G PCS networks with variable-order Markov model
We propose a distributed location management scheme between static and dynamic schemes. We use variable-order Markov models to find mobility patterns shared by UEs. The planned LAs are allowed to be overlapped with other LAs which are now supported by 4G standards, i.e., LTE and WiMAX. The OD matrix from the Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation is referred in our simulation. We illustrate how to apply the proposed scheme over IEEE 802.16 networks.
