Abstract
A wireless communication system and method poll subscribers based on a movement history for the subscribers. Movement information for subscribers is stored and analyzed to determine the likely current location(s) for a subscriber. Polling is performed based on a result of analyzing the movement information. For example, polling the subscriber can be performed using transmitters in a serial manner, such that a first transmitter, or group of transmitters, that corresponds to the most likely current location of the subscriber is used to poll the subscriber. If polling using the first transmitter is not successful, a second transmitter, or group of transmitters, corresponding to a second most likely location of the subscriber is used to poll the subscriber, and so on.
