1. A method for controlling signals of multiple terminals, by a mobility management entity (MME), in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

  • receiving, from a terminal, a connection request message;

    identifying whether the terminal is firstly connected to the MME among a plurality of terminals including a same subscriber code;

    setting, if the terminal is firstly connected to the MME among the plurality of terminals including the same subscriber code, the terminal as a first terminal of a group;

    setting, if the terminal is not firstly connected to the MME among the plurality of terminals including the same subscriber code, a tracking area update (TAU) period and a group discontinuous reception (DRX) of the terminal to same values of the first terminal;

    classifying the plurality of terminals including the same subscriber code as the group associated with the first terminal; and

    transmitting, to a base station, a group signal including TAU information of the first terminal, a group identifier for the group, and the group DRX cycle associated with the first terminal for the group,wherein the group identifier and the group DRX cycle, which is different from a DRX cycle assigned to each of the plurality of terminals, are used to identify paging information for the group.
