The mobility offered in the cellular mobile communication networks introduces new challenges to the teletraffic engineers and professionals who are responsible for design, planning and dimensioning the network's capacity. Through mobility models the teletraffic engineers try to foresee and to evaluate the traffic generated due to user mobility, in order to minimize the implementation and maintenance network costs, and to maximize the quality of service offered to end users. It is therefore clear that mobility models are a framework of extreme importance in the design and planning of cellular mobile communications networks. This paper shows some numerical results related to the computation of mobility parameters and most importantly presents a simulator that uses a new mobility model of users for cellular mobile communications networks.
This paper presents some different aspects and problems related to the simulation of mobile unit tracking in wireless communication systems. We will show how our implemented simulation tool was used to analyze a variation over the IS-41 protocol with static location areas. The work also considers several approaches related to location area planning and the storage of user profiles, which are needed for the simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
