摘要

Apparatus (52), and an associated method, for adaptively selecting (92) a paging area throughout which to page a mobile terminal. A record (72) is maintained, indicative of the position where a mobile terminal was located when last-accessing the network infrastructure of a communication system in which the mobile terminal is operable. When a page is to be broadcast to the mobile terminal, the record (72) is accessed, and the paging area throughout which the page is broadcast is adaptively selected responsive thereto.
