In this paper the capability of stochastic activity networks (SANs) has been used as a novel approach in the analysis of mobility tracking procedures. To evaluate complex systems such as cellular systems, powerful tools for modeling and analysis are required. SANs have proved to be very flexible and powerful tools in the study of location update (LU) and paging (PG) schemes. SANs can capture, i...

We utilize the analytical construct of a stochastic supply function to provide an aggregate representation of a finite class of standard deterministic supply functions. We introduce a consistency postulate for a stochastic supply function that may be satisfied even if no underlying deterministic supply function is rationalizable in terms of profit maximization. Our consistency postulate is none...
