The present disclosure relates to a 5 th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4 th generation (4G) communication system, such as long term evolution (LTE). According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, provided is an operation method of a LTE in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a configured paging occasion; acquiring a downlink control information (DCI) format via the PDCCH; acquiring a paging group indicator included in the DCI format; receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the DCI format; determining whether a UE corresponds to the paging group indicator; and performing decoding on the PDSCH on the basis of whether the UE corresponds to the paging group indicator.
