Paging and Location Management in IEEE 802.16j Multihop Relay Network
IEEE 802.16j is an emerging wireless broadband
networking standard that integrates infrastructure base stations
with multihop relay technology. Based on the idle mode operation
in IEEE 802.16j, we propose a novel location management and
paging scheme. It integrates the paging area-based and the
timer-based location update mechanism. In paging area-based
scheme, an idle mode mobile station updates when it moves to
a new paging area. In timer-based scheme, an idle mode MS
updates when the location update timer expires. In this work, we
formulate the mathematical model to evaluate the performance of
the proposed paging scheme. A new random walk mobility model
that is suitable for modeling in multihop relay network is created.
Optimization of location update timer is also investigated
