Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 電信工程研究所 === 101 === In this thesis, we propose a parsing-tree-based location update scheme for wireless Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication. In M2M communication networks, there might be a large amount of Machine-Type-Communication (MTC) devices in a small area. If each MTC device periodically performs location update, the MTC server might be overloaded. According to Information Theory, in comparison with periodically performing location update, it is more efficient for a MTC device to perform location update only when the MTC device has to add a new node into the parsing tree. Since a MTC device typically has limited memory and is battery-powered, we propose an optimal tree pruning algorithm that minimizes the weighted sum of the energy cost and the memory cost. In addition, we show that the computation complexity of the proposed scheme is low. Furthermore, we use both analytical results and simulation results to justify the proposed scheme.
