Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9750274A1] The invention relates to a location management and paging method in a cellular radio system comprising base stations (BTS1-BTS8) transmitting their own base station identity code and neighbouring cell information as base station information on their own broadcast frequencies, and mobile stations (MS) receiving said information for monitoring base stations. In the location management method according to the invention, the contact area of the mobile station (MS) is stored in connection with each network activity and updated when the mobile station (MS) does not receive any identity belonging to the contact area on the broadcast frequency. The paging method according to the invention utilizes the stored contact area and its neighbouring cell information when paging the mobile station (MS). The invention also relates to a cellular radio system and a mobile station implementing the above-described functionality.
