Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for managing signaling in a communication network. A paging controller determines one or more target coverage areas to attempt a paging request for a wireless communication device (WCD) based on (i) a coverage area last serving the WCD (“last known coverage area”) and (ii) an amount of time passed since the WCD last transitioned from a connected state to an idle state in the last known coverage area (“the idle duration”). The paging controller can utilize a database that specifies, on a per WCD basis, one or more records of associated data items for different last known coverage areas, idle durations, and target coverage areas. With knowledge of a last known coverage area and idle duration for a WCD, database record(s) can be identified and target coverage area(s) can be determined. A paging request can then be transmitted to the determined target coverage area(s).
