A method for setting a beam in a mobile communication system includes determining at least one of a beam width and a beam direction in consideration of a criteria value in response to a failure of a random access attempt, and retransmitting a beam based on the determined at least one of the beam width or the beam direction. The criteria value includes at least one of a beam gain history of a candidate beam combination and a previous transmission failure history.

Provided are two types of schemes capable of reducing power consumption of a User Equipment (UE). The first scheme is to select a set capable of minimizing power consumption of the UE when the UE enters a sleep mode. The second scheme is a handover scheme in which the UE having entered the sleep mode maintains the sleep mode corresponding to a cooperative Base Station (BS) set in a handover of the UE.

Provided is a method and apparatus for operating an idle mode in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving a first message requesting entry to an idle mode from a Subscriber Station (SS) through at least one Base Station (BS), selecting in response to reception of the first message whether the MS is to enter an idle mode in which BSs belonging to a paging group broadcast a paging message for the MS or whether the MS is to enter a semi-idle mode in which BSs belonging to a semi-idle paging group, which is a subset of the paging group, broadcast the paging message for the SS, and transmitting Paging announce information instructing the BSs belonging to the semi-idle paging group to broadcast the paging message for the SS, if the semi-idle mode is selected.

The present invention can reduce the clashing of random accesses by assigning a random access priority according to the number of links. A method for random access from a terminal in a virtual cell network system according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of determining the number of links that are connected to the terminal; selecting a random access set for random access on the basis of the number of links; selecting a slot resource for random access from the random access set on the basis of the number of links; and performing a random access over the slot resource, wherein the slot resource includes a common resource held by a plurality of base stations.

A method for handover in a wireless communication system includes: when a received signal strength difference between a serving beam from a serving base station used for communication by a terminal and a target beam of a neighboring base station is equal to or greater than a first threshold value, and a received signal strength difference between an active beam and the target beam is equal to or greater than a second threshold value, determining a handover to the target beam; and transmitting a message to initiate the handover.
