Abstract :
Location area dimensioning is based on the tradeoff between the amount of signalling generated due to paging and location updating. The authors present a new approach which compares the frequency of location updates per mobile terminal with the frequency of mobile terminating calls. This leads to the concept of useless location updating, when location updating occurs but this information is not subsequently used.
