Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile communication system, and to a method for managing terminal paging in the system. A paging method of a terminal is characterized by comprising the steps of: receiving, from a base station, both a local counter value for synchronization with the base station and a local ID that the base station has allocated to the terminal; synchronizing the base station and the counter using the local counter value so as to enter an idle state; and checking the local counter and a paging trigger message contained in the subframe corresponding to the local ID. According to the present invention, local IDs are each allocated to the respective multiple MTC terminals, and therefore trigger periods can be efficiently managed in a network. Further, the multiple MTC terminals can be grouped using the allocated local IDs, thus achieving advantages of an increased number of MTC terminals which can be managed in the network.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a first core region and a second core region disposed along a first reference line parallel to a major axis, the first reference line connecting an input pad and an output pad; first and second cell blocks disposed in the first core region along the first reference line; third and fourth cell blocks disposed in the second core region along the first reference line; and a repeater positioned between the third and fourth cell blocks, and configured to receive data outputted from the first cell block or the second cell block, amplify the received data and transfer the amplified data to a second global input/output line. Reducing the number of needed global input/output lines leads to layout area reduction. Moreover, since repeaters are driven in read operations for a limited number of cell blocks, signal gain may be reduced, thus reducing overall power consumption.
