Distributed computing concerns environments in which many processors, located at different
sites, must operate in a noninterfering and cooperative manner. Each of the processors …

This paper presents a mobile tracking scheme that exploits the predictability of user mobility
patterns in wireless PCS networks. Instead of the constant velocity fluid-flow or the random …

This paper describes current and proposed protocols for mobility management for public
land mobile network (PLMN)-based networks, mobile Internet protocol (IP) wireless …

This paper introduces a mobility tracking mechanism that combines a movement-based
location update policy with a selective paging scheme. Movement-based location update is …

This paper presents a mobile tracking scheme that exploits the predictability of user mobility
patterns in wireless PCS networks. In this scheme, a mobile's future location is predicted by …

Tracking strategies for mobile users in wireless networks are studied. In order to save the
cost of using the wireless links mobile users should not update their location whenever they …

In the next generation high-speed wireless networks, it is important to provide quality-of-
service (QoS) guarantees as they are expected to support multimedia applications. This …

The complexity of the mobility tracking problem in a cellular environment has been
characterized under an informationtheoretic framework. Shannon's entropy measure is …

Mobile wireless networks pose interesting challenges for routing system design. To produce
feasible routes in a mobile wireless network, a routing system must be able to accommodate …

This article presents a survey on location management algorithms for next-generation
personal communications networks. We first describe different static and dynamic location …
