A distance based method for mobile station registration in a cellular communication system. The mobile station (10) regis- ters whenever it moves into a new cell (C2) that is greater than some predefined distance from the previous cell (C1) where it re- gistered. Cell base stations (12) transmit corresponding base station locati on information and a distance value. The mobile station (10) receives the base station location information and computes the distanc e (18) from a cell (C1) in which the mobile station last registered to the current cell (C2) in which the mobile station is present. When the computed distance is greater than the distance value associated with the registration cell the mobile station registers. Pages for the mobile station (10) are transmitted within a group of cells (16, 20) within a distance of the registration cell corresponding to the registration cell transmitted distance value.
