Abstract

In this paper the capability of stochastic activity networks (SANs) has been used as a novel approach in the analysis of mobility tracking procedures. To evaluate complex systems such as cellular systems, powerful tools for modeling and analysis are required. SANs have proved to be very flexible and powerful tools in the study of location update (LU) and paging (PG) schemes. SANs can capture, in a simple manner and from the mobility models under study, much more detail than Markov models. Therefore, the analysis of mobility tracking procedures with SANs provides more accuracy than the use of Markov models. This fact is illustrated in the paper by considering the LU and PG schemes proposed in Ref. [12]. Furthermore, our results show a much better performance of these schemes than that predicted by Ref. [12].
