Abstract:
A method in a telecommunications network for dynamically updating data indicative of the availability of mobile stations within said telecommunications network, said method comprising the steps of:periodically ascertaining a total number of mobile location updates and a total number of failed pagings occurring within said telecommunications network during a prior time interval;determining a ratio of said total number of mobile location updates to said total number of failed pagings, in response to ascertaining said total number of mobile location updates and said total number of successful paging occurring within said prior time interval;designating a threshold value determinative of whether to release to said telecommunications network, data indicative of the availability of mobile stations within said telecommunications network; andautomatically releasing said data to said telecommunication network at a particular time, in response to ascertaining whether said ratio falls within an appropriate range of said threshold value, thereby promoting the dynamic release of said data to said telecommunications network.
