FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication equipment. The technical result is the higher paging efficiency and lower resource usage. For this a paging method, apparatus and system are presented as versions of the invention implementation. The paging method contains the following steps: the identification data of a group, to which the terminal belongs, is received. Using that data, a paging subchannel of the common control channel is determined. Then, the first paging request is sent along the said subchannel.
