Abstract
In systems and methods of tracking area configuration, a number of tracking area update messages received by a plurality of access nodes using a first tracking area configuration are monitored. It is determined that a number of tracking area update messages received by one of the plurality of access nodes meets an update message criteria. It is also determined that a number of connected wireless devices at the one of the plurality of access nodes meets a connection criteria. When the number of tracking area update messages meets the update message criteria and when the number of connected wireless devices meets the connection criteria, the second tracking area configuration is used at the access node.

A method of tracking area configuration, comprising:
- monitoring a number of tracking area update messages received by a plurality of access nodes using a first tracking area configuration;
- determining that a number of tracking area update messages received by one of the plurality of access nodes meets an update message criteria;
- determining that a number of connected wireless devices at the one of the plurality of access nodes meets a connection criteria;
- and
- using a second tracking area configuration at the one of the plurality of access nodes when the number of tracking area update messages meets the update message criteria and when the number of connected wireless devices meets the connection criteria.
A system for tracking area configuration, comprising:
- a processing node configured to
- monitor a number of tracking area update messages received by a plurality of access nodes using a first tracking area configuration;
- determine that a number of tracking area update messages received by one of the plurality of access nodes meets an update message criteria;
- determine that a number of connected wireless devices at the one of the plurality of access nodes meets a connection criteria;
- and
- instruct the use of a second tracking area configuration at the one of the plurality of access nodes when the number of tracking area update messages meets the update message criteria and when the number of connected wireless devices meets the connection criteria.
