Location Registration and Call Delivery • Centralized database architecture • Dynamic hierarchical architecture • Per-user location caching • User profile replication • Pointer forwarding • Local anchoring • Distributed database architecture • A fully distributed registration scheme • Partitioning • Database hierarchy

  8. Location Update and Terminal Paging • Location update schemes • Dynamic LA management • Three dynamic update schemes • Time-based • Movement-based • Distance-based • Terminal paging schemes • Paging under delay constraints • Update and paging under delay constraints

  9. Mobility Management in Packet-based Communication Networks

  10. Mobile Station State • In circuit-based communication networks • MT is in idle or busy state • In packet-based communication networks • MS is in Idle, ready, or standby state in GPRS • UE is in PMM-detached, PMM-idle, cell-connected, or URA-connected state in UMTS • Cell, URA, RA, or LA is the unit area for location update • Frequency of location update and paging depend on the state of MS or UE • Effect of timer (i.e. ready timer, inactivity timer, etc.) is important

  11. Network Service Area in GPRS * source: reference [1]

  12. GPRS MS State Model • Idle • MS is not reachable • After attach, the MS moves to ready state • Ready • Packet transmission is possible • Cell-based location update is performed • Ready state can be sub-divided into ready(off) and ready(on) • Standby • RA-based location update is performed

  13. URAs, RAs, and LAs in UMTS * source: reference [2]

  14. MM state model in SGSN RRC state model in UTRAN UMTS UE State Model

  15. UMTS UE MM and RRC States • MM state • PMM detached • UE is not reachable • PMM connected • Packet switched (PS) signaling connection is established • Serving RNC id is stored • Cell-connected or URA-connected • PMM idle • PS signaling connection is released • Only RA information is stored • RRC state • Idle • No RRC connection • Cell connected • Cell level location information is managed • Stays until inactivity timer expires • URA connected • URA level location information is managed

VTC’2003 Spring, Jeju, Korea, 2003

  17. Analysis of GPRS MS State • Location update & paging in GPRS • Cell in ready state • RA in standby state • Location update and paging frequencies depend on the state of MS • Tradeoff between location update and paging signaling based on the number of cells in an RA • Derivation of steady state probability of MS • Performance analysis using steady state probability

  18. Modified MS State Model • Exit from Idle • Ready(off) by Attach (T12) • Exit from Ready(off) • Idle by detach (T21) • Ready(on) by packet session arrival (T23) • Standby by ready timer expiry (T24) • Exit from Ready(on) • Idle by Detach (T31) • Ready(off) by completion of session processing (T32) • Exit form Standby • Idle by Detach (T41) • Ready(off) by RA update due to movement or RA update timer expiration (T42) • Ready(on) by packet session arrival (T43)

  19. Steady State Probability • Stationary probability • Steady state probability

  20. Numerical Example P1: idle P2: ready(off) P3: ready(on) P4: standby

  21. Analysis of UMTS UE State • Location update & paging in UMTS • Cell in cell-connected state • URA in URA-connected state • RA in PMM-idle state • Location update and paging frequencies depend on the state of UE • Derivation of steady state probability of UE • Performance analysis using steady state probability

  22. Modified UE State Model • Exit from PMM detached • Cell connected (off) by attach (T12) • Exit from Cell connected (off) • PMM detached by detach (T21) • Cell connected (on) by packet session arrival (T23) • URA connected by inactivity timer expiry (T24) • Exit from Cell connected (on) • PMM detached by detach (T31) • Cell connected (off) by completion of session processing (T32) • Exit form URA connected • PMM detached by detach (T41) • Cell connected (off) by URA update (T42) • Cell connected (on) by packet session arrival (T43) • PMM idle by URA update timer expiration (T45) • Exit from PMM idle • Detach request (T51) • RA update due to movement of a UE or expiration of an RA update timer (T52) • Incoming or outgoing session arrival (T53)

  23. Numerical Example P1: PMM detached P2: cell connected(off) P3: cell connected(on) P4: URA connected P5: PMM idle

  24. Combined Mobility Management * source: reference [1]

  25. Combined Mobility Management • Location Update • Based on LA in GSM • Based on cell or RA in GPRS • Size of LA > size of RA • Paging • Based on paging area (= LA or RA) • Combined Mobility Management • Class-A mode MS • Attached to both GSM and GPRS • Supports simultaneous operation of GPRS and GSM services • Gs interface between SGSN and MSC/VLR • Combined RA/LA update using one radio signaling message • Circuit-switched paging via SGSN to either RA or cell based on a GPRS MS state • Efficient management of GSM/GPRS MM

  26. Combined Mobility Management • Implicit cell update • The location of MS is known to network if GSM MS is in busy state • How can we utilize this cell-based location information for Class-A GPRS MS state management? • After the implicit cell update, paging only one cell may be sufficient for call or packet delivery if the cell location is managed • A new MS state model • Incorporation of GSM MS state into GPRS MS state • Ready state can be sub-divided into ready(off), ready(on)-GSM, ready(on)-GPRS, ready(on)-GSM/GPRS

  29. Mobility Management in All-IP Networks

  30. Micro-Mobility Protocols • Cellular IP • HAWAII • Regional registration • Hierarchical Mobile IP • Fast handoff

  31. Seamoby Activities • RFC 2132: dormant mode host alerting (“IP paging”) problem statement • RFC 3154: requirements and functional architecture for an IP host alerting protocol • MH state • Active • Dormant • Functional entities • Paging agent • Tracking agent • Dormant monitoring agent

  32. Motivation of IP Paging • Consider an MH, which is moving fast and is not involved in a communication • Bandwidth consumption • Processing power • Protocol states • Optimization for nodes that are currently not in a session might be taken into consideration • Entering dormant mode • Avoids frequent location update • Decreases the preciseness of the network’s knowledge about individual mobile’s location to paging areas • Dormant mode supports • saving scarce radio bandwidth • cutting superfluous location updating • reducing battery energy drainage
