Unlike 4G base stations, 5G base stations do need to be configured with tracking area Information. In 4G, tracking area information is used to identify the area where the mobile device is located and to control the paging process. In 5G, however, tracking area information is used to identify the area where the mobile device is located and to control the paging process as well as to manage the mobility of the mobile device in the 5G network. The tracking area information is also used for the initial registration of the mobile device and for handover between cells.
