摘要

Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating resource allocation in a mobile communication system. Historical indicia associated with a mobile station is monitored and maintained. A predictor forms a prediction of a subsequent path of travel of the mobile station responsive to the historical indicia that is collected and maintained at the memory element. The predicted path of travel of the mobile station is utilized in the allocation of communication resources to the mobile station. Updates are made to the predicted path of travel, and reallocation of the communication resources is correspondingly made, thereby to efficiently utilize the communication resources available in the communication system.
