This disclosure provides a method (20) for paging User equipment (UE) smartly in MME pool, comprising: transmitting (21) a paging request to a first e Node B the UE last accessed; if the UE is not paged, transmitting (22) the paging request to all e Node Bs belonging to a first Tracking Area (TA) to which the first e Node B belongs; and if the UE is not paged, determining (23), in a Tracking Area list assigned to the UE, a first group of Tracking Areas (TAs) adjacent to the first Tracking Area, and transmitting the paging request to all e Node Bs belonging to the first group of Tracking Areas. This disclosure also provides an apparatus for paging User equipment (UE) smartly in MME pool. This may largely decrease the paging load and save the radio resources without perceivable paging quality degradation. |
