An efficient metric-based (EM-B) location management scheme for wireless cellular networks

Abstract

In the current era, the wireless cellular network is gaining much attention in the network mobility for qualitative service. Towards enhancing the QoS and narrowing the dilemma of network management (location management) an efficient metric-based location management technique is introduced in this paper to capture the current location of mobile subscribers. The attributes of this technique are based on metrics calculation and location management message routing path determination. First, the current mobile switching center will calculate the shortest metric-based path between current and master (previous) location of mobile terminals (user), thereafter it performs the location management procedure through the optimal suggested path by the mobile switching center. This proposed technique will reduce the signaling cost, registration delay, call setup delay, network overheads and total location management cost. The proposed analytical model checks the scalability and effectiveness of proposed system over certain attributes and a comparison is made with the existing available techniques.
