Mobile Location Update using Distance Method

Abstract

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a complex data network which upgrades current second generation GSM networks, offering true high-speed internet (IP) and network connectivity over existing GSM cellular networks. The increasing population of mobile users leads to congestion problems in these systems, and motivates the development of more efficient management schemes. This project deals with radio resource and mobility management such as location management and handoff management using distance method in GPRS networks. A simulator based on MATLAB which can study the location updating is used in this GPRS system.
