Abstract

IP Paging has received considerable attention recently. The IETF has decided to develop an IP Paging protocol and some IP Paging protocols have been proposed by researchers [13, 12]. However all of these proposals use static and manually configured paging areas. We argue that the size and the shape of paging areas are very critical for the performance of a paging system. A system that allows each host to use a paging area that adapts to its mobility and communication patterns will perform better. This paper proposes to extend the IETF IP Paging functional architecture to support adaptive and per-host paging areas. We introduce a new functional module, the Paging Area Configuration Agent (PACA), that automatically configures the paging area relative to each cell of a cellular domain.
