An Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) communication system includes a GNB Central Unit Control Plane (GNB-CUCP) to establish a connection with a Near-RT RIC via an E2 interface; a User Equipment (UE); a plurality of cells in a Tracking Area (TA) of the GNB-CUCP; and an O-RAN Near-Real Time (Near-RT) RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) to host an xApp and initiate a subscription procedure with the UE. The GNB-CUCP sends cell location information of the UE to the Near-RT RIC upon a UE context release procedure, the Near-RT RIC creates and maintains a record of the cell location information received from the GNB-CUCP via the xApp, and the GNB-CUCP pages the UE in a subset of cells from the plurality of cells in the TA, the subset of cells corresponding to the record of cell location information created and maintained by via the xApp.
