Method and apparatus for supporting paging in next generation mobile communication system

A method performed by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:

• transmitting, to a terminal, a paging message for paging including at least one paging record;
• and
• performing a procedure for a radio resource control (RRC) connection with the terminal based on the paging message,
• wherein a transmission associated with the paging message is based on a first paging-radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) (p-RNTI) in case that the terminal is registered in an evolved packet core (EPC), and the transmission associated with the paging message is based on a second p-RNTI in case that the terminal is registered in a 5th-generation (5G) core network,
• wherein a paging user equipment (UE) identity included in an identified paging record is one of a first identity of a core network, or a second identity of the base station, and
• wherein the procedure for the RRC connection includes an RRC connection establishment procedure or an RRC connection resume procedure.

A terminal in a communication system, the terminal comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• receive, via the transceiver from a base station, a paging message for paging including at least one paging record,
• identify a paging record of the at least one paging record that includes a paging user equipment (UE) identity matched with an identity allocated to the terminal, and
• perform a procedure for a radio resource control (RRC) connection based on the paging UE identity included in the identified paging record,
• wherein the paging message is monitored based on a first paging-radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) (p-RNTI), in case that the terminal is registered in an evolved packet core (EPC), and the paging message is monitored based on a second p-RNTI, in case that the terminal is registered in a 5th-generation (5G) core network,
• wherein the paging UE identity included in the identified paging record is one of a first identity of a core network or a second identity of the base station, and
• wherein the procedure for the RRC connection includes an RRC connection establishment procedure or an RRC connection resume procedure.
