Abstract

This paper explores tracking strategies for mobile users in personal communication networks which are based on thetopology of the cells. We introduce the notion oftopology-based strategies in a very general form. In particular, the known paging areas, overlapping paging areas, reporting centers, and distance-based strategies are covered by this notion. We then compare two topology-based strategies with the time-based strategy on the line and mesh cell topology.
