A communication system is disclosed in which a base station receives, from a core network entity, a paging request for paging an MTC device. The base station determines a paging occasion for sending to said MTC device paging related information, wherein the paging occasion is defined such that it identifies a plurality of subframes in which the paging related information can be sent and repeated. The base station sends (and repeats, as appropriate) the paging related information in the plurality of subframes identified by the paging occasion.
