Abstract

Location management of mobile users in a cellular network is considered from a performance and privacy point of view. Location management covers tracking functionality and paging (searching) functionality. After a risk analysis of location management w.r.t. privacy, we focus on the paging strategy. A sequential search strategy is proposed which reduces the signaling on the air interface and also considers the user´s privacy
