This paper proposes a distributed location management strategy for wireless mobile networks. In the proposed strategy, a number of consecutively numbered location information databases (LIDs) are arranged into a frame. A frame of LIDs overlaps with the next frame except one database. The location information of a mobile host is replicated and stored in the databases in the same frame. When the location area of a mobile host changes, the new location information is stored in the next frame of databases. Thus, the proposed strategy is referred to as the sliding-frame strategy. The average communication cost and average database response time of the proposed sliding-frame strategy are analyzed and shown to be always lower than or equal to those of the strategy proposed by Krishnamurthi et al.
