A method and an apparatus for reporting location information of a Mobile Station (MS) through a ranging procedure in a wireless communication system are provided. A Base Station (BS) transmits, to the MS, partition information representing a plurality of partition regions constituting the BS cell coverage. Upon receiving from the MS a ranging code belonging to one ranging code subset among a plurality of ranging code subsets corresponding to the plurality of partition regions based on the partition information, the BS determines location information of the MS depending on the partition region corresponding to the ranging code subset to which the received ranging code belongs, making it possible to notify the network of the MS's location information without the need to define a separate signaling procedure.
