In a mobile network including cells assigned to different levels of a hierarchical cell structure, the mobile user equipment determines whether or not a location update is required based on a cell selection scheme which ranks the available cells in order of hierarchical level and then by an additional criterion relating to communication quality. One such network assigns cells different hierarchical levels based on their cell-size class, i.e. whether they are macrocells and femtocells, The number of location updates is reduced in the latter case because this cell selection scheme favours cells in the cell-size class for larger cells (e.g. macrocells) when they are available, even if a cell of a size-class relating to smaller cells (e.g. a femtocell) would give higher communication quality. When the user equipment is paged it can request a switch to the available cell having best communication quality.
