Evaluation of Location Management Proposals
Existing work:
- mathematical analyses with many variables that are hard to capture on-line and that change over time (local call-to-mobility ratio, average speed/# of calls, distribution of call origins)
- simulation: simple (random) mobility and call arrival models, simple (regular) cell layouts
Our approach:
- simulation is necessary
- simulation should be based on more realistic models of user behavior
- as cellphones become commodity items, user behavior is not adequately characterized by simple random models
