Paging areas aligned with wireless terminals are dynamically created. A first base station passes to the wireless terminal a list of all the base stations that it knows and are within a prescribed number of handoffs of the first base station. The wireless terminal uses this list to define its own "personal" paging area. Each time the wireless terminal emerges from a sleep state, it listens for the base station having the best signal and compares its identification against the list of base stations in its personal paging area. If the best signal base station is on the list, any paging messages for the wireless terminal are automatically broadcast by that base station. Otherwise, the wireless terminal must conduct a handoff to that base station to obtain a new personal paging area centered on that base station with that base station as paging agent. Messages originating elsewhere in the network are forwarded to the paging agent for delivery to the wireless terminal. The paging agent then instructs all known base stations within prescribed number of handoffs of it to page the wireless terminal. The wireless terminal, on hearing the page, will form a connection with the base station having the best signal for communicating. The base station having the best signal for communicating notifies the paging agent that it has established a connection with the wireless terminal, which leaves paging mode and becomes active.
