Method for efficiently transmitting broadcasting message in broadband wireless access system

A method for receiving a broadcast message from a base station at a mobile station in a broadband wireless access system, comprising:

• receiving a first MAP including scheduling information for at least one broadcast message to be transmitted from the base station within a prescribed transmission unit;
• and
• receiving the at least one broadcast message from the base station through a resource region indicated by the scheduling information,
• wherein the first MAP is an extended MAP of a second MAP including non-user specific control information,
• wherein the scheduling information includes type information indicating a type of the at least one transmitted broadcast message and allocation size information indicating the resource region,
• wherein the type information is in the form of a bitmap which consists of three bits, each bit indicating one of three groups in which broadcast messages are classified according to mobile station mode, and the bit map indicates which group of broadcast messages is to be transmitted,
• wherein the mobile station mode comprises an idle mode, a sleep mode and a connected mode, and
• wherein the first MAP is transmitted immediately after the second MAP when an extension flag in the second MAP is set.

A mobile station for receiving a broadcast message from a base station in a broadband wireless access system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• an antenna for transmitting and receiving a radio signal to and from the base station along with a transmission module and a reception module according to control of the processor,
• wherein the processor performs a control function to receive a first MAP including scheduling information for at least one broadcast message to be transmitted from the base station within a prescribed transmission unit, and to receive the at least one broadcast message from the base station through a resource region indicated by the scheduling information, and
• wherein the first MAP is an extended MAP of a second MAP including non-user specific control information,
• wherein the scheduling information includes type information indicating a type of the at least one transmitted broadcast message and allocation size information indicating the resource region,
• wherein the type information is in the form of a bitmap which consists of three bits, each bit indicating one of three groups in which broadcast messages are classified according to mobile station mode, and the bitmap indicates which group of broadcast messages is to be transmitted,
• wherein the mobile station mode comprises an idle mode, a sleep mode and a connected mode, and
• wherein the first MAP is transmitted immediately after the second MAP when an extension flag in the second MAP is set.
