Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving paging message using band information in wireless communication system

A Base Station (BS) for transmitting a paging message in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

• a controller for generating a Paging Group IDentification Information (PGID_Info) message including paging group information for a paging group to which the BS belongs, and frequency band-specific paging carrier information for indicating at least one of paging carriers included in each of a plurality of frequency bands operated by the BS, and for determining a paging carrier for transmitting the paging message among paging carriers included in the frequency band supported by the MS;
• and
• a transceiver for transmitting the PGID_Info message to the MS in an idle mode, and for transmitting the paging message using the determined paging carrier.

A Mobile Station (MS) for receiving a paging message in a wireless communication system, the MS comprising:

• a transceiver for receiving a Paging Group IDentification Information (PGID_Info) message and the paging message from a Base Station (BS);
• and
• a controller for acquiring, from the PGID_Info message received in an idle mode, paging group information for a paging group to which the BS belongs, and frequency band-specific paging carrier information for indicating at least one of paging carriers included in each of a plurality of frequency bands operated by the BS, for determining a paging carrier for receiving the paging message among paging carriers included in a frequency band supported by the MS, and for controlling the transceiver to monitor the determined paging carrier.
