1. A method of paging mobile stations within a cellular telecommunications exchange comprising:

  • storing a set of own exchange page request group designations, paging extents and paging priority parameters for paging requests from uncooperating exchanges;

    assigning to each page request received by said exchange a page request group designation based upon the characteristics of the page request, said characteristics of said page request including indications of a most probably location and an alternative location of the mobile station to which the page is directed;

    assigning to each of said page requests received a paging extent designation to be associated with one or more page attempts and representing the geographic area within the exchange to which each page attempt is to be broadcast;

    assigning to each page attempt in response to said page request a paying priority which is related to the page request group designation and the paging extent designation, of said page request;

    retrieving said own exchange paging parameters in the event the page request is received from an uncooperating exchange causing the foregoing steps of assigning to fail; and

    executing each page attempt within said telecommunications exchange in a sequential order based upon its assigned paging priority.
