APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING SYSTEM CONFIGURATION CHANGE TIME IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION

摘要

A method for providing a system configuration change time in a mobile communication system and an apparatus thereof are provided to reduce the power consumption of a terminal by making the terminal in a sleep state check the time when system configuration information is changed and update the system configuration information. A method for providing a system configuration change time in a mobile communication system comprises following several steps. A BS(Base Station) checks whether a current slot transmits a quick page slot(300). The BS, which determines to transmit the quick page slot, calculates the time having passed after system configuration information is finally changed(302). The BS selects a CCI(Configuration Change Indicator) value matched with the calculated time, and configures a quick page channel including the CCI(304). The BS transmits the configured quick page channel and terminates operation of the current slot(306).
