Abstract
We study the signalling cost of different location management schemes under varying user behaviour in the case where one or several networks serve a certain region and where users may roam between these networks. For a user model, which has already been presented in [12], we propose a method for its parametrization. The focus of the studies and of the model is on the geographic distribution of origins and destinations of calls and location updates.
