EARLY CHANNEL RESERVATION BASED ON MOBILE MOVEMENT

Abstract—Early channel reservation schemes have increasingly become more important for providing quality of services (QoS) in the All-IP network. In order to effectively provide the necessary QoS and optimize the channel management, we present an early channel reservation scheme based on mobile movement history. The basic principle behind this design is to view the reported sequence of location data as an encoding of a string of station-IDs. This sequence is reported by encoding the entire information of a sequence of traditional location registration messages using a dictionary, as in the LZ78 data compression algorithm. Results from information theory ensure that for mobile users with a steady and identifiable movement pattern, this prediction engine is capable of making highly accurate prediction in the long run, effectively achieving high hit ratio in early channel reservation. Finally, early channel reservation method is an important part of system network management. For better management of network resources, we consider the tradeoff between reserved channels and the level of guarantee that can be provided by the network based on the mobility profile.
