1. A method for performing a periodic ranging by a receiver in a sleep mode of a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving a sleep mode transition message to transit into a sleep mode, the sleep mode transition message including first information relating to a timing point at which the periodic ranging is performed;
transiting to the sleep mode in response to the sleep mode transition message; and
performing the periodic ranging at a timing point corresponding to the first information after transiting to the sleep mode,
wherein the first information indicates an offset of a frame in which the periodic ranging will be performed with respect to a frame where the sleep mode transition message is transmitted.
