Probabilistic location update for advanced cellular mobile networks

We propose a probabilistic location update (PLU) scheme for advanced cellular mobile networks. The performance of PLU is analyzed and compared with those of two extreme location update schemes. As a result, we demonstrate a merit of PLU, that is, simple implementation with an acceptable performance level.
