In a communication system a base station maps paging information the destinations of which are a plurality of mobile stations to a specific frame of frames and transmits the specific frame to a relay station. The relay station for relaying communication between the base station and the plurality of mobile stations receives the specific frame, maps the paging information the destination of which are the plurality of mobile stations and which is mapped to the specific frame, to the remaining frames of the frames on the basis of a determined rule, and transmits the remaining frames to the plurality of mobile stations. When the plurality of mobile stations are under the control of the relay station, the plurality of mobile stations receive the remaining frames and acquire the paging information on the basis of the determined rule.
