A method of paging an electronic device when the electronic device is in an idle state, the method comprising:
- determining a time;
- determining a primary tracking area that is associated with a time period in a profile of the electronic device, wherein the time period comprises the determined time;
- and,
- transmitting a paging message to the electronic device in one or more target tracking area, the one or more target tracking area comprising the primary tracking area.
A network component for managing the initiation of data transmission to an electronic device when the electronic device is in an idle state, the network component comprising:
- a database for storing profiles;
- a time keeper for keeping time;
- a transmitter;
- and,
- a processor connected to the database, the time keeper and the transmitter, the processor configured to:
- retrieve a time from the time keeper;
- retrieve the profile of the electronic device;
- determine a primary tracking area that is associated with a time period in the profile, wherein the time period comprises the retrieved time;
- and,
- instruct the transmitter to transmit a paging message to the electronic device in one or more target tracking area, the one or more target tracking area comprising the primary tracking area.
