The development of mobile telecommunication systems can be observed through three generations. The first generation is based on analogue technology, e.g. AMPS, while the second generation is based on the digital technology, e.g. GSM , and the third generation (3G), e.g. IMT-2000, is aimed to introduce global telecommunication services and to overcome the limitations of the first and second generations.Furthermore, mobile communication through satellite link called Land Mobile Satellite System (LMSS) was introduced to extend the coverage to the shadowed areas or unpopulated areas such as forests, deserts and others. The mobile terminals would be able to communicate directly with the satellite, which act as a base station. Thus satellite provides an alternative route in case of the shadowing from man made structures or geographical feature. This will allow a continuously routing and communication almost anywhere.

Many researches were dedicated to the location technology, especially in the cellular mobile system. Thus new services were offered, such as car navigation, to improve the product delivery times and improve the efficiency. Location technology could be used for radio resource and mobility management. Therefore many works was carried out related to the location identification in terrestrial system, such as the angle of arrival (AoA) determination. In this paper, the location determined using GPS receiver the location information can be improved by using a reference points with a well known coordination and this defined as DGPS. The error mobile terminal location in the next generation help us in traffic management.

This paper present the channel assignment and handover strategies in integrated mobile satellite telecommunication system. It also introduces a new technique to manage the traffic with the location information knowledge. The results details indicate the blocking low probabilities of new calls and handover fauiler with location knowledge. This work extends the scope of location-based services to the area of traffic management in mobile communication and it provide a GIS for the satellites movement prediction which will facilities the mobile with a new tools for channel assignment.
