| Abstract | The mobility-enabling protocol Mobile IP (MIP) supports location registration but not paging. However, current cellular networks use registration as well as paging procedures to minimize signaling cost and track the users. Accordingly, an extension to Mobile IP with distributed individual paging, the so-called DIP-MIP, is proposed. In DIP-MIP, each mobile host derives its own optimal size of the paging area - the size that provides the best paging versus location registration cost tradeoff - by optimizing a signaling cost function based on its individual mobility patterns. Depending upon each mobile host's mobility, the cost function itself may use either of two mobility models - fluid flow and random walk - and the performance of DIP-MIP is analyzed for both. The impact of various parameters on the size of the paging area and the DIP-MIP signaling cost is studied as well. The performance of DIP-MIP is shown to be superior to that of Mobile IP in reducing signaling load, managing mobility and supporting a large number of mobile users in IP-based cellular networks |
