Methods for transmitting and receiving paging messages in a communication system

A paging message transmitting method and a paging message receiving method in a mobile communication system are provided to reduce power consumption by minimizing unnecessary wakeup or decoding/modulation of a terminal. A signal is transmitted to a terminal in a paging listening section. The signal includes location information of a paging message for the specific terminal. The paging message is transmitted to the terminal in the paging listening section. The signal includes a MAC(Media Access Control) address of the terminal and a frame location, which is received by the terminal, in the paging message.
