Abstract

One characteristic of mobile communications is the location management of mobile devices. If the location of one device changed, the base station will update its location information in time to keep the device still in the range of signal cover. Particularly, if the location changes during a call, a handover process is needed. In this paper, a formal model based on pi calculus was used to describe the mobile communication system. Two properties concerned by users are proposed and given formal description. By analyzing the model's behavior caused by a valid location change, we proof that it satisfies these properties.
