Abstract
In the era of mobile communication, every user is free to move from one place to another without worrying about the connectivity to the network. Whenever a use with a cellular phone changes its location, his location must be updated to the database so that the same can be reached later on. Some devices remain almost stationary as they don’t move out of a specific area like an office or a home. At the same time, some devices move frequently as the users are carrying them while travelling. In every case, if location updates are not properly performed, users will not get connectivity all the time. This paper explains some of the most widely used location update strategies in mobile communication. As mobile communication is a kind of wireless communication, we have tried to introduce a novel location update strategy by modifying the concept of opportunistic networking. The paper concludes with some of the innovative ideas of doing location updates.
