| 1. A method for paging a User Equipment (UE) by a radio access network in order to provide both a multimedia broadcast/multicast
service (MBMS) and a non-MBMS to the UE in a mobile communication system including at least one UE and the radio access network,
the method comprising:
transmitting a first channel information about a common paging indication channel and a second channel information about a
common control channel to at least one UE in advance;
transmitting the common paging indication channel in response to an MBMS paging request of the UE;
transmitting paging information of the MBMS through the common control channel in response to transmission of the common paging
indication channel; and
transmitting separate channel information on the common paging indication channel for identifying existence of paging for
the non-MBMS and the common control channel for transmitting paging information of the non-MBMS, respectively,
wherein the common paging indication channel identifies existence of a group paging for the MBMS and the common control channel
transmits paging information of the identified MBMS.
