Abstract
A method and system in a telecommunications network for dynamically updating data indicative of the availability of mobile stations within the telecommunications network. Periodically, a total number of mobile location updates and a total number of failed pagings occurring within the telecommunications network during a prior time interval are ascertained. Thereafter, a ratio of the total number of mobile location updates to the total number of failed pagings is determined, in response to ascertaining the total number of mobile location updates and the total number of successful paging occurring within the prior time interval. A threshold value is designated such that the threshold value is determinative of whether or not to release to the telecommunications network, data indicative of the availability of mobile stations within the telecommunications network. At a particular time, the data is automatically released, in response to ascertaining whether the ratio falls within an appropriate range of the threshold value. The use of the threshold value to assist in determining whether or not to release the data to the telecommunications network at a particular time, promotes the dynamic release of the data to the telecommunications network without the necessity of manual intervention.
