Abstract

Among other important changes in mobile telecommunications such explosive grow of UMTS network coverage we have seen in last years a huge move from simple mobile terminals to smart devices which we even cannot name just as phones anymore. In location management - a procedure how to find user's location in cellular network - there have been published methods minimizing data overhead. Published papers describe distinct approaches to location management but have one thing in common - all the time the mobile terminal is moving across the network cells it is used just one algorithm to minimize network overhead although some other methods may work more efficient if user movement behavior changes. This paper describes some of those methods and later discuss possible combination of distinct algorithms based on the real time evaluation performed by mobile terminal - something we can afford to perform inside mobile terminals due to increased computing performance available.
