Two Aspects of Mobility in a PCSNetwork
Handoff• Link transfer, or Handover
• A mobile user moves from one coverage area of anold BS to the coverage area of a new BS during the
conversation.• The radio link to the old BS is disconnected and aradio link to the new BS should be established tocontinue the conversation.
Roaming• When a mobile user moves from one system to
another, the location of the user should tell the PCSsystem.

Location Tracking and Update
When a mobile usermoves from one PCSsystem to another, the
current location of theuser should be updated.

location of the user ?Where to store the
current location of the
user ?

Two-level Hierarchical Strategy
In IS-41 and GSM MAP, the two-levelstrategies are proposed.

Home Location Register (HLR)
HLR is a network database that stores andmanages all subscriptions of a specific operator.
The information in HLR:
• MS Identity, directory number, profile information,current location, validation period .

Visitor Location Register (VLR)
The VLR has temporary information for thevisiting mobile users.
The information in VLR:
• MS Identity, directory number, current location.

Basic Operations
Two basic operations in roamingmanagement.
• Registration: an MS informs the system of its
current location• Location Tracking: the system locates the MS

Signaling in Core Network
How is the mobile roaming managed by thesignaling?
Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) is used forcore network of the cellular systems.
Protocols to support mobility management:
• EIA/TIA Interim Standard 41 (IS-41 or ANSI-41)
• GSM Mobile Application Part (MAP)• IS-41and GSM MAP are based on SS7.

Signaling between a PCS network and thePSTN are typically achieved by the SS7network.

Traffic Cost
The traffic in the SS7 network is heavy.Approach to reduce the deregistration
traffic:
• Implicit deregistration + Periodic re-registrationApproach to reduce the registration traffic:
• Point forwarding scheme

Traffic Cost for Call Deliverythrough SS7
Cache scheme was proposed to reduce thecall delivery traffic.
Two possible positions for the cache:
• Method 1. In the originating SSPs• Method 2. In the STP that performs GTTs
Two two fields in cache:
• MIN of an MS• Current visited VLR of the MS
The cache contains entries for MSs recentlyaccessed from the SSP (MSC).
