Abstract
An energy-efficient mobility management scheme in IP-based wireless networks is proposed to reduce the battery power consumption of mobile hosts (MHs). The proposed scheme manages seven MH states, including transmitting, receiving, attention/cell-connected, attention/paging area(PA)-connected, idle, off/attached, and detached states, to efficiently manage battery power, radio resources, and network load. We derive the stationary probabilities and steady state probabilities of the seven MH states for the proposed scheme in IP-based wireless networks in compact form. The effects of various input parameters on MH steady state probabilities and power consumption are investigated in the proposed scheme compared to the conventional scheme. Network costs such as cell updates, PA updates, binding-lifetime-based registrations, and paging messages are analyzed in the proposed and conventional schemes. The optimal values of PA size and registration interval are derived to minimize the network cost of the proposed scheme. The combined network and power costs are investigated for the proposed and conventional schemes. The results provide guidelines to select the proper system parameters in IP-based wireless networks.
Highlights
Wireless networks and systems have evolved toward an IP-based network architecture
The effects of various input parameters on mobile hosts (MHs) steady state probabilities and power consumption are investigated in both the proposed scheme and conventional scheme with consideration of exponential and fixed distributions on the interval of BL-based registration. Network costs such as cell updates, paging area (PA) updates, binding-lifetime-based registrations, and paging messages are analyzed in the proposed and conventional schemes
The results can be utilized to analyze the performance of mobility management schemes in IP-based wireless networks
Summary
Wireless networks and systems have evolved toward an IP-based network architecture. In such networks and systems, mobility needs to be handled at the IP layer based on the Internet Engineering. The effects of various input parameters on MH steady state probabilities and power consumption are investigated in both the proposed scheme and conventional scheme with consideration of exponential and fixed distributions on the interval of BL-based registration. Network costs such as cell updates, PA updates, binding-lifetime-based registrations, and paging messages are analyzed in the proposed and conventional schemes.
