Abstract : Location Management (LM) is an important function of mobile cellular networks that enables network to locate the users. Mechanisms applicable in legacy systems are not able to cope with the vast increase of devices and the strict communication requirements expected in 5G networks. In this paper we propose a novel scheme for LM that exploits mobility context of User Equipments (UEs), keeps track of their location with high accuracy and pages small number of cells when incoming calls arrive. The analysis shows that Location Management is significantly benefitted from the proposed mechanisms.
