Location Management in Distributed Mobile Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Location management is an important problem in distributed mobile computing. Location management consists of location updates, searches and search-updates. An update occurs when a mobile host changes location. A search occurs when a mobile host needs to be located. A search-update occurs after a successful search. Various strategies can be designed for search, update and search-update. Static location management uses one combination of search, update and search-update strategies throughout the execution. Simulations were carried out to evaluate the performance of diierent static strategies for various communication and mobility patterns. Simulation results indicate that performing search-updates signiicantly reduces the message overhead of location management.

متن کاملStatic and Dynamic Location Management in Distributed Mobile Environments
Location management is one of the most important issues in distributed mobile computing. Location management consists of location updates, searches and search-updates. An update occurs when a mobile host changes location. A search occurs when a host wants to communicate with a mobile host whose location is unknown to the requesting host. A search-update occurs after a successful search, when th...
