Provided is a method for automatically setting an area code by a femto access point (AP) located in a coverage area of a macro cell. The method includes receiving a broadcast signal of the macro cell, extracting an area code of the macro cell from the received broadcast signal, and setting the extracted area code as an area code of the femto cell. The femto AP sets the same area code as that of the macro cell as its area code and transmits the area code of the femto AP to the mobile station, thereby preventing the mobile station from repeating the location registration and enabling the mobile station to receive the same paging message from the femto AP and the macro cell. |
