ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for paging mobile telephone units (MTU) in a cellular mobile system that conserves paging resources. If the identity of the most recent cell in which the MTU was located matches the identity of the cell wherein the MTU was location on the previous registration, then an initial page covering only the cell of the most recent call location for the target MTU, and the neighboring cells for that cell, is used. Advantageously, since the likelihood that the MTU is still within that cell or its neighbors is high, so that paging resources are conserved by paging in only a small number of cells.
