Abstract

Efficient resource utilisation infuture cellular systems is partly related to thelocation update and paging operations, which rely on’’proper‘‘ planning of location and paging areas, andthe application of efficient paging schemes. Importantis the design of low complexity planning algorithmsthat may enable the system to dynamically adapt to newtraffic and mobility conditions. In this paper wedefine and solve versions of the location and pagingarea planning problems focusing also on algorithmsthat are applicable in real-time. Thus, they can beused to adapt location and paging areas to traffic andmobility conditions. Starting from a formal definitionand an optimal formulation, we solve efficiently bymeans of a low complexity heuristic, a general versionof the location area planning problem. Regardingpaging area planning, we provide a low complexityalgorithm, under the assumption that the schemeapplied falls within the last interaction basedpaging (LIBP) category. The results presented, andthe low cost and complexity induced by the proposedschemes, indicates that the real-time application ofthe schemes is feasible.
