Abstract

A method for a user equipment (UE) to receive control information from a network in a wireless mobile communication system is provided. In the method, the UE receives a paging identifier indicating whether or not a paging message to be transmitted to the user equipment is present and receives the paging message including a type indicator indicating a paging type, according to the paging identifier.

Claims

1. A method of receiving control information by a user equipment from a network in a wireless mobile communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a paging identifier indicating whether a paging message to be transmitted to the user equipment is present, wherein the paging identifier further indicates that a paging is associated with a user equipment group command;

receiving the paging message including a user equipment identifier and a type indicator indicating a paging type, according to the paging identifier;

checking whether the user equipment identifier included in the paging message is identical to an identifier of the user equipment; and

receiving information of commands common to a plurality of user equipments when the paging identifier further indicates that a paging is associated with a user equipment group command,

wherein the information of the common commands includes information requesting that the plurality of user equipments move to a special cell, release a Radio Remote Control (RRC) connection, transmit a specific message to a base station, or perform a specific procedure.

2. A method of receiving control information by a user equipment from a network in a wireless mobile communication system, the method comprising:

receiving at least one paging identifier indicating whether a paging message to be transmitted to the user equipment is present;

receiving the paging message including a user equipment identifier, wherein the user equipment identifier is an identifier of the user equipment;

receiving a first paging message for a first service when the received at least one paging identifier is a first paging identifier;

receiving a second paging message for a second service when the received at least one paging identifier is a second paging identifier; and

receiving information of commands common to a plurality of user equipments when the at least one paging identifier further indicates that a paging is associated with a user equipment group command,

wherein the information of the common commands includes information requesting that the plurality of user equipments move to a special cell, release a Radio Remote Control (RRC) connection, transmit a specific message to a base station, or perform a specific procedure.

3. A method of transmitting control information by a network in a wireless mobile communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a paging identifier to a user equipment, the paging identifier indicating whether a paging message to be transmitted to the user equipment is present;

transmitting the paging message including a user equipment identifier and a type indicator to the user equipment, the type indicator indicating a paging type determined according to a type of a service to be provided to the user equipment, wherein the user equipment identifier included in the paging message is an identifier of the user equipment; and

transmitting information of commands common to a plurality of user equipments to the user equipment when the paging identifier further indicates that a paging is associated with a user equipment group command,

wherein the information of the common commands includes information requesting that the plurality of user equipments move to a special cell, release a Radio Remote Control (RRC) connection, transmit a specific message to a base station, or perform a specific procedure.

4. A method of transmitting control information by a network in a wireless mobile communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting at least one paging identifier to a user equipment, the paging identifier indicating whether a paging message to be transmitted to the user equipment is present and indicating a type of a service to be provided to the user equipment;

receiving a user equipment identifier, wherein the user equipment identifier included in the paging message is identical to an identifier of the user equipment;

transmitting a first paging message for a first service to the user equipment when the paging identifier is a first identifier;

transmitting a second paging message for a second service to the user equipment when the paging identifier is a second identifier; and

transmitting information of commands common to a plurality of user equipments to the user equipment when the at least one paging identifier further indicates that a paging is associated with a user equipment group command,

wherein the information of the common commands includes information requesting that the plurality of user equipments move to a special cell, release a Radio Remote Control (RRC) connection, transmit a specific message to a base station, or perform a specific procedure.
