IP Paging has received considerable attention recently. The IETF has decided to develop an IP Paging protocol and some IP Paging protocols have been proposed by researchers 13, 12. However all of these proposals use static and manually configured paging areas. We argue that the size and the shape of paging areas are very critical for the performance of a paging system. A system that allows each host to use a paging area that adapts to its mobility and communication patterns will perform better. This paper proposes to extend the IETF IP Paging functional architecture to support adaptive and per-host paging areas. We introduce a new functional module, the Paging Area Configuration Agent (PACA), that automatically configures the paging area relative to each cell of a cellular domain.
