| Abstract | Mobile users maintaining communication with a wireline network via wireless links form the basis for personal communications. The wireline network tracks the current location of each user at a coarse level when the user is inactive, and refines this knowledge by paging when the user is called. Conventionally, this task of mobility tracking is achieved as follows. The geographical area of interest is divided into registration areas which consist of a large number of cells, where the cell is the coverage area of an individual radio port. Databases in the network keep track of which registration area the user is in. The user monitors beacons broadcast by the radio ports to detect a change in registration area, and notifies the network of such a change when it happens. When the user is called, all cells in that registration area are paged using wireless broadcast. Paging all cells in a registration area for each call (a call may refer to either voice or data communication) may be wasteful of downlink bandwidth if the user does not move much between calls. This may be particularly important if calls are actually bursts of data to a relatively immobile, though portable, computer. On the other hand, keeping closer track of a user's location involves additional expenditure of portable power and uplink bandwidth for the user to announce his or her location more frequently to the network. In the paper, the author provides a mathematical formulation for this tradeoff. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
