A comprehensive method for mobile station registration in a cellular communication system wherein registrations are made due to multiple stimulus. Registration can occur as a function of distance traveled since the previous registration. Registration can occur due to entering the coverage area of a base station assigned to a zone in which the mobile station has not recently registered. A registration timer can be used to ensure a minimum time between registrations. Registrations can occur at power up and at power down. The mobile station can be ordered to register by a transmission from a base station. Registration can occur due to parameter changes with in the mobile station. Registration may also occur through necessary communication with a base station which is not expressly directed to registration.

In a cellular communication system having a plurality of base stations, each of said plurality of base stations having a corresponding coverage area, in which a mobile station initially registers through a first base station with a system controller so that a message for said mobile station from said system controller may be communicated to said mobile station through at least one of said base stations in a predetermined manner, a method of registration comprising the steps of: changing at said mobile station, during a time when active communication between said system controller and said mobile station is not established, a parameter which effects said predetermined manner of communication; and registering said parameter via a radio frequency signal generated by said mobile station and transmitted to a base station corresponding to a coverage area in which said mobile station is currently located, wherein said parameter which effects said predetermined manner of communication is a slot cycle of said mobile station; receiving at said mobile station location information from said first base station; receiving at said mobile station location information from a second base station; computing a distance between said second base station and said first base station; and registering by said mobile station through said second base station if said computed distance exceeds a threshold.
