A method of managing a paging procedure in a cellular mobile network comprising different areas where mobile devices may be located, each location area of the network including at least one cell and the cellular mobile network comprising macrocells and femtocells, the method being performed by a mobile device connected to said network, the method comprising the acts of: detecting available cells of the network, selecting a first cell of the network as a paging cell whose location area is to be registered to the network as the paging area to be used by the network when paging the mobile device, and independently of the selecting of the paging cell, selecting, as an access cell to be accessed by the mobile device when connecting to the network, a second cell of the network, wherein the mobile device is configured to select the paging cell based on the paging capabilities of the detected cells and to select the access cell based on the access capabilities of the detected cells, and the mobile device is configured to respond to a paging message received through the selected paging cell by contacting the network through the selected access cell; characterized in that the method further comprises the mobile device performing the acts of: recognizing whether detected available cells are macro-cells or femto-cells, associating a paging-capability parameter value and an access-capability parameter value to each detected cell: associating to detected available cells that are recognized as macro-cells a relatively higher paging capability parameter value compared to a paging capability parameter value associated to detected available cells that are recognized as femtocells, associating to detected available cells that are recognized as femto-cells a relatively higher access capability parameter value compared to an access capability parameter value assigned to detected available cells that are recognized as macrocells; selecting the paging cell and access cell from among a group of detected cells having quality above a threshold level; and selecting as the paging cell the cell having the highest value of paging-capability parameter from among the cells of said group, and selecting as the access cell the cell having the highest value of access-capability parameter from among the cells of said group. detecting available cells of the network, selecting a first cell of the network as a paging cell whose location area is to be registered to the network as the paging area to be used by the network when paging the mobile device, and independently of the selecting of the paging cell, selecting, as an access cell to be accessed by the mobile device when connecting to the network, a second cell of the network, wherein the mobile device is configured to select the paging cell based on the paging capabilities of the detected cells and to select the access cell based on the access capabilities of the detected cells, and the mobile device is configured to respond to a paging message received through the selected paging cell by contacting the network through the selected access cell; recognizing whether detected available cells are macro-cells or femto-cells, associating a paging-capability parameter value and an access-capability parameter value to each detected cell: associating to detected available cells that are recognized as macro-cells a relatively higher paging capability parameter value compared to a paging capability parameter value associated to detected available cells that are recognized as femtocells, associating to detected available cells that are recognized as femto-cells a relatively higher access capability parameter value compared to an access capability parameter value assigned to detected available cells that are recognized as macrocells; associating to detected available cells that are recognized as macro-cells a relatively higher paging capability parameter value compared to a paging capability parameter value associated to detected available cells that are recognized as femtocells, associating to detected available cells that are recognized as femto-cells a relatively higher access capability parameter value compared to an access capability parameter value assigned to detected available cells that are recognized as macrocells; selecting the paging cell and access cell from among a group of detected cells having quality above a threshold level; and selecting as the paging cell the cell having the highest value of paging-capability parameter from among the cells of said group, and selecting as the access cell the cell having the highest value of access-capability parameter from among the cells of said group.
