METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EFFICIENTLY PAGING A MOBILE TERMINAL IN A WIRELESS NETWORK A method for locating a mobile terminal in a wireless telecommunications network includes retrieving historical data associated with the whereabouts of the mobile terminal. The historical data is used to issue a paging signal to the mobile terminal to those base stations associated with the geographic areas in which the mobile terminal is most likely to be found. By intelligently issuing the paging signal, wireless telecommunications network resources are conserved while the likelihood of locating the mobile terminal is enhanced. A trace pattern database is updated each time a mobile terminal is located, or, in accordance with a predefined algorithm, is stored in the wireless telecommunications network. Advantageously, flexibility is provided to the wireless telecommunications service provider in determining the frequency with which the trace pattern database is updated and hence, the accuracy of the database.
