ABSTRACT
A low-cost, two-step location update/paging scheme in a macrocell/microcell network is proposed and investigated. To reduce operating cost, the location update is operated only in the macrocell tier. A callee will be paged in the macrocell tier first. If the paging delay in the macrocell tier is too high due to large queuing delay, the callee will then be paged in the microcell tier. Original searching method is used in the microcell tier paging. The operation for the scheme is simple, since the macrocell/microcell cellular network has the advantage that a mobile user in such a cellular network can receive a signal from both a macrocell and a microcell. The analytical results show that, along with the low location update/paging cost, the two-step paging scheme also achieves low paging delay.

Adaptive location update and paging scheme for mobile broadband wireless access networks
WCNC'09: Proceedings of the 2009 IEEE conference on Wireless Communications & Networking ConferenceIn mobile broadband wireless access networks such as Mobile WiMAX, idle mode is defined to save radio resources and reduce power consumption when a mobile station is not involved in packet transmission and reception. In order to support idle mode, ...
Dynamic multi-step paging scheme in PMIPv6-based wireless networks
In Proxy Mobile IP (PMIPv6) networks, proxy-registrations are performed even for idle MNs, resulting in unnecessary signaling traffic. Although there have been many IP paging techniques aimed at reducing the unnecessary location update, they focus only ...
A crossing-tier location update/paging scheme in hierarchical cellular networks
Location update/paging strategies have been widely studied in the traditional single-tier cellular networks. We propose and evaluate a novel crossing-tier location update/paging scheme that can be used in a hierarchical macrocell/microcell cellular ...
