  • Patent number: 12262344
    Abstract: Implementations for providing a mobility management with optimized paging system in a wireless communication system comprising a core network (CN) node and a user equipment (UE) in operative communication with one another through a base station are disclosed. The paging system may, by way of example, be provided in three stages. The first stage is determining whether the destination base station is the same as the source base station, resulting in either first paging if they are the same or to subjecting the base stations belonging to the tracking area list where the UE is found to filtering if they are not the same. The second paging takes place if the destination base station is present in a list of predicted base stations that come as a result of the filtered base stations. The third paging may take place if the destination base stations is not present in the list of predicted base stations.
