Abstract
In mobile computing environments, mobility plays an important role in data management issues inherently. In most existing works, however, the mobility issue has been disregarded and too simplified as linear function of time. In this paper, we propose a new dynamic state transition model, namely state-based mobility model (SMM) to provide more generalized framework for both describing the mobility and updating location information of mobile objects. We also introduce the state-based location update protocol (SLUP), which has mobility-awareness property by applying several update policies and choose the optimal update policy dynamically. We show that our proposal can greatly reduce the number of update messages, as the temporal locality of movement patterns increases.
