    In this paper, we consider a location management scheme using Limited Pointer forwarding from Commonly visited sites (LPC) strategy for Personal Communication Services (PCS) networks. The Commonly Visited Site (CVS) is defined as a site in which a mobile user is found with high probability. A feature of the strategy is that it skips updating location information of the mobile user, provided that the mobile user moves within its CVSs. Such a strategy is expected to significantly reduce the location update cost. We evaluate the location management cost of the LPC scheme by employing a Continuous-Time Markov Chain (CTMC) model. We show that the LPC scheme can reduce the location management cost of a highly mobile user who is found in its CVS with high probability.
