Abstract

Some embodiments disclose a method for providing a tracking area identity list in a communications network. The method includes maintaining a tracking area transition likelihood and a tracking area group transition likelihood, and recording a mobility number and a paging number. The method further includes determining a category associated with the user equipment device based on the recorded mobility number and the recorded paging number, and generating the tracking area identity list for the user equipment device based on the category associated with the user equipment device and one or both of the tracking area transition likelihood and the tracking area group transition likelihood.
