Patent attributes
Technology for a mobility management entity (MME) operable to facilitate paging message transmissions using a user equipment (UE) location is disclosed. The MME can process data received for a user equipment (UE) from a Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF). The downlink data can include a public land mobile network (PLMN) UE location associated with the UE location. The MME can compare at least one of a time stamp and a granularity level of the PLMN UE location to existing location area information for the UE. The MME can determine to overwrite the existing location area information for the UE with the PLMN UE location. The UE can generate a paging message for transmission only to an eNodeB associated with the PLMN UE location, and the eNodeB can be configured to forward the paging message to the UE.
