Provided are a method and base station for paging terminals in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state in a packet based mobile communication system. The method for paging terminals in a RRC connected state in a packet based mobile communication system having a RRC processor, a medium access control (MAC) processor, and a physical layer processor includes the steps of: a) at a MAC processor of a base station, generating a paging message when it is necessary to page the terminals and transferring the generated paging message to the physical layer processor, b) at the physical layer processor, transmitting a paging indicator having a unique identifier of the terminal to the terminal; and c) transmitting radio resource information to the terminal through a control channel when an acknowledgement for the paging indicator is received from the terminal. |
