Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of selective paging in cellular mobile networks, in particular to a method, an apparatus, and a network node for use in selectively paging a user equipment (UE) in a plurality of cells in which the UE is estimated to be located. Accordingly, a method in a network node in a wireless communication network for use in paging a UE in a plurality of cells is provided. The method comprises: determining, for the plurality of cells, the number of observations that is made of the UE in each of a number of sets of cells among said plurality of cells; determining a paging sequence for the UE in the plurality of cells based on said determined number of observations in each of said sets of cells; and enabling paging of the UE in the plurality of cells according to the determined paging sequence.
