Method of allocating paging carrier and mobile station

摘要

A method of allocating a paging carrier in a multi-carrier environment is disclosed. The method of allocating the paging carrier includes receiving a first message including first allocation information of the paging carrier, transmitting a second message for requesting entry into an idle mode to a base station; and receiving a third message including second allocation information of a changed paging carrier from the base station. At this time, the paging carrier includes a paging channel out of multiple carriers including one or more carriers.

1. A method of indicating a paging carrier in a radio access system supporting multi-carrier, the method comprising:
allocating, at a base station, an unique identifier for a first mobile station, the unique identifier identifying the first mobile station during an idle mode operation; transmitting a first message including indication information to mobile stations including the first mobile station through at least one carrier, wherein each bit of the indication information explicitly indicates whether a corresponding one of the at least one carrier is a candidate carrier which can carry a second message for paging during the idle mode operation, wherein a specific carrier, which actually carries the second message to the first mobile station, among at least one candidate carrier, is implicitly identified by using the unique identifier without explicit signaling on the specific carrier; and transmitting the second message through the identified specific carrier.
