Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for providing each terminal (t.sub.1, t.sub.2, t) in a network (n) with an adapted location area (HA.sub.t1, HA.sub.t2, FA.sub.s, FA.sub.pt), customised to the long term or short term historical movements or behaviour of the terminal (t.sub.1, t.sub.2, t) in the network (n). The terminal (t.sub.1, t.sub.2, t) can enter three different modes; session mode, packet mode and transaction mode, which controls what kind of location area (HA.sub.t1, HA.sub.t2, FA.sub.s, FA.sub.pt) the terminal (t.sub.1, t.sub.2, t) should use. The types of location areas are a home location area (HA.sub.t1, HA.sub.t2), based on the long term historical movements of the terminal (t.sub.1, t.sub.2, t) and used when the terminal (t.sub.1, t.sub.2, t) is located inside a home area constituting the normal mobility pattern of the terminal in the network (n), a session mode-fast adaptive location area (FA.sub.s), used when the terminal (t.sub.1, t.sub.2, t) enters the session mode and is located outside the home area, and a packet mode/transaction mode-fast adaptive location area (FA.sub.pt), used for burstlike traffic when the terminal (t.sub.1, t.sub.2, t) enters the packet mode or the transaction mode.
