Abstract:
Reducing the singling overhead for tracking and mobile paging devices is a challenging issue in the study of location management of cellular networks. Cellular networks have become massive generators of data, and in the forthcoming years, this data is expected to increase drastically. Big data-based intelligence and analytics can improve network operational efficiency and user service quality. This work proposes to exploit massive handover and paging data from cellular networks to minimize singling due to user mobility. In this paper, we offer a new holistic tracking area lists (TAL) management methodology, considering group user mobility behavior and paging characteristics. Firstly, a series of graphs showing the evolution of user mobility and traffic is built from handover and paging statistics in the network management system (NMS). Then, the TAL allocation problem is formulated as a classical graph partitioning problem, which is then solved by detecting overlapping communities algorithm based on game theory. Results show that the proposed method can effectively reduce the location management singling overhead and improve the TAL configuration efficiency.
