An intelligent paging strategy for personal communication services network

This paper presents an intelligent paging strategy, called sequential intelligent paging (SIP), for a personal communication services network (PCSN). Unlike the conventional blanket paging where all cells in a location area are polled at a time, in SIP one cell is polled at a time. We compare the proposed methods with the conventional approach in respect of signaling load polling cost. The proposed scheme leads to a decrease in paging signaling load at the cost of some extra processing power. When the incoming traffic rate is low, SIP performs better when paging cost per cycle is the criterion for choosing a particular scheme of paging. The efficacy of the sequential intelligent paging is shown with the help of simulation results.
