PCS mobility management using the reverse virtual call setup algorithm

The increased demand for wireless mobile communications coupled with the finite available spectrum has motivated investigation into alternative methods of tracking users and delivering calls. We present a new scheme for delivering mobile terminated calls named reverse virtual call setup (RVC). Only a few new fixed network SS7 signaling messages are needed to implement this protocol; we specify them here. RVC can function within the existing cellular paging network or with an integrated overlaid paging network. The relative performance of RVC for both scenarios is investigated.
