Abstract
The instant communication software such as WeChat, QQ and Fetion becomes popular with the rapid development of mobile terminals and wireless personal communication technology. To refresh the online or offline status of such software, signaling message must be sent every given intervals. However, the signaling message raised by huge number of users will cause severe overhead of mobile networks, which will affect the outage performance of network. In this work, we analyze the signaling overhead caused by such software and evaluate the influence using the system level simulation platform. Results indicate that, the signaling overhead will affect the outage performance when the density of users is great. Practical solution is also raised at the end of our paper.
