Abstract
In Beyond Third Generation (B3G) wireless communications, multiple overlays of wireless access networks may cooperate to allow a user access to novel services, the future demands of which will significantly increase the load on location management systems within the networks. In this paper, we introduce the reader to our novel proposals for providing efficient Mobile Terminal (MT) Location Discovery and Paging across an inter-worked network consisting a Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) network and Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) network. We further present numerical and simulation analyzes of our scheme. The numerical and simulation results allow broadcast and cellular network operators to configure their inter-worked system to reduce location management and paging costs whilst controlling average latency. Our results demonstrate that our UMTS LA plus DVB paging schemes offer promise for efficient MT discovery in an inter-network environment that includes uni-directional broadcast network such as DVB; under realistic scenarios we achieve a minimum 4 times reduction in paging cost across the inter-network compared with independent paging systems. Furthermore, we briefly introduce further aspects of research that must be addressed in order to fully evaluate our proposals.
