摘要：obility prediction algorithm is the significant aspect to improve QoS (Quality of Service) for heterogeneous wireless networks because it can accurately predict user� s trajectory, decrease handoff latency and preserve resources in arriving cell for user. Considering inaccurate description of existing mobility prediction algorithms for mobile user�s location in heterogeneous wireless networks, this paper proposes that overlay coverage zone (OCZ) can be used to precisely describe user�s location, flexibly depict the mobile user�s characteristics and vertical handoffs among different wireless networks. As existing algorithms highly depend on cell boundary estimation and suffer from low time prediction accuracy, the phase-type distribution is introduced to model user�s residence time in OCZ to improve classical Markov predictor, and then a novel joint time and location mobility prediction algorithm is proposed. Simulation results show that, compared with Markov mobility prediction algorithm, the prediction accuracy of the proposed algorithm is highly increased.
