US 8,914,050 B2 · Base station, mobile station, paging message transmitting method, and paging message receiving method

Abstract

A base station allocates a paging group to a mobile station. The base station transmits, to a mobile station, a first message including indices of a plurality of carriers and information for the plurality of carriers and a second message including paging group information representing whether each of a plurality of carriers supports each of one or more paging groups. Then, the base station selects a paging transmission carrier for the mobile station from among at least one paging carrier corresponding to the paging group allocated to the mobile station and transmits the paging message through the paging transmission carrier.
