A method comprises: associating a first tracking area identity list with a user equipment during registration with a core network node; sending the first tracking area identity list to the user equipment; and receiving at least one tracking area identity comprising the tracking area identity of a tracking area being used by the user equipment. The method further comprising: compiling an second tracking area identity list based on the tracking area identity list currently associated with the user equipment and on the received at least one tracking area identity; and in response to the second tracking area identity list containing a different set of tracking area identities than the tracking area identity list currently associated with the user equipment, sending the second tracking area identity list to the user equipment to replace an earlier tracking area identity list.
