1. A location-based grouping method for a wireless communications system, comprising:

  • defining a plurality of zones within a wireless network coverage area;

    assigning a dynamic network subscriber group number to each of the plurality of zones within the network coverage area;

    maintaining both a static network subscriber group database containing network-wide subscriber subscription parameters and a dynamic network subscriber group database containing zone-specific network subscriber subscription parameters; and

    requiring a network subscriber to register and provide the dynamic network subscriber group number when the network subscriber enters into one of the plurality of zones within the wireless network coverage area to thereby identify a location of the network subscriber as being within the one of the plurality of zones within the network coverage area and to consequently provide services to the network subscriber based on the static and dynamic network subscriber group subscription parameters associated with the network subscriber.
