Abstract

A technique of selecting a location area for paging of a mobile device in the wireless communication network is described herein. The technique includes registering the mobile device with a first cell within the wireless communication network, where the cell is included within a primary location area and one or more secondary location areas. The technique also includes determining a default location area index for the mobile device, where the default location area index identifies a default location area for the mobile device. The technique further includes receiving an indication from the mobile device to change from the default location area index to a secondary location area index. The secondary location area index identifies a secondary location that at least includes a sub-portion of the primary location area.
