Abstract

In LTE-based mobile communication systems, a Tracking Area Code (TAC) defines a group of cells for a paging area. In mobile networks, the paging performance is a critical factor to be considered, since it may give large impacts on paging response time as well as paging traffic load in the mobile system. This paper proposes a mobility-aware TAC configuration scheme to increase the paging success rate in mobile communication systems. We first construct an optimization model for TAC configuration by considering the mobility (handover) patterns of mobile users as well as the TAC size and the capacity of paging traffic. Then, we propose the tow algorithms for TAC configuration to maximize the paging success rate, while some constraints are satisfied. From the performance analysis with real traffic data of SK Telecom in Korea, we can see that the proposed TAC configuration provides larger paging success rates than the existing TAC configuration.
