Abstract
A wireless terminal determines a tracking area code (TAC) from a geographic position of the wireless terminal. From the TAC, the wireless terminal determines the tracking area identity based on an indication from the network-side regarding whether or not geographic position based tracking area identity determination is to be used or not. In some implementations, the network-side is a satellite cell that is configured to provide wireless connectivity to the wireless terminal.
