Abstract

A communication method and system for converging a fifth generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a fourth generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of things (IoT) are provided. The communication method and system include intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car, a connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method performed by a base station for transmitting a paging message is provided. The method includes determining a number of paging frames (PFs) in a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle based on information on paging search space, transmitting, to a terminal, information on the number of PFs in system information block 1 (SIB1), identifying at least one PF based on the number of PFs, and transmitting, to the terminal, at least one paging message in the at least one PF.
