A method for receiving control information and a control information signaling receiving method are disclosed. If A-MAP information is allocated and transmitted, signaling overhead is greatly reduced, resulting in improved system performance. In addition, the method increases the number of data transmission areas in inverse proportion to control signaling overhead. In accordance with the method for receiving control information signaling, a mobile station correctly recognizes a location to which A-MAP information is allocated and transmitted, resulting in increased control information decoding efficiency.
