Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for determining device movement to and from an area of interest using a route update radius. In a particular embodiment, a method provides identifying an area of interest within a geographic area and determining a first access node of a wireless communication network having a first wireless signal coverage area that includes at least part of the area of interest. The method further provides setting a route update radius to a distance that reflects the size of the at least part of the area of interest and transferring the route update radius to the wireless communication device.
