A communication node for a communication network identifies that paging is required for a mobile communication device, obtains 605 information identifying at least one cell in which the mobile communication device has been located previously and preferably obtains further information relating to at least one of movement of the mobile communication device between cells and a time when the mobile communication device was located in the at least one cell. The communication node then defines 609 a set comprising at least one cell in which to seek the mobile communication device, based on the information and preferably the further information, and sends 611 a respective paging message for the mobile communication device to each cell of the set. The communication node may define a number of sets, initiate transmission of the respective paging message in each cell of the number of sets and specify a respective time period, in dependence on which set comprises the cell in which each paging message is to be transmitted, after which transmission should occur. |
