The present invention refers to a communication system having a network (1) and a plurality of user terminals (2,3,4) that are coupled to the network via a communication channel using wireless radio frequency transmission and having a downlink channel for transmitting messages in the direction from the network to the user terminals wherein the downlink channel comprises a paging channel for transmission of paging messages in paging frames for initiating communication with a user terminal allocated to a paging group of a plurality of user terminals, and a paging indicator channel for transmission of a paging indicator belonging to the paging group when there is a paging message for the user terminal belonging to the paging group, wherein the user terminal processes the next paging frame transmitted on the paging channel to see whether there is a paging message intended for it when the paging indicator has been transmitted on the paging indicator channel, and wherein the paging message on the paging channel comprises a point-to-multipoint-multicast (PTM-M) group identifier to identify a PTM-M group.
