A method for managing a terminal operated in an idle state is provided. The method includes entering a femto cell, determining whether a femto base station managing the femto cell has the same paging group as a macro base station managing a macro cell overlapping the femto cell, transmitting a first ranging code triggering a paging enable state to the femto base station if it is determined that the paging group is the same as the determination result, and receiving a paging message from the femto base station.
