A method of providing a group call service in a radio network is provided.
A BS, which does not cover a GCA but is located in a radio network near
to the GCA, generates extended group call service information including
information about BSs that cover an NGCA and broadcasts the extended
group call service information. Upon receipt of the extended group call
service information, an MS selects a BS in the best service condition
among BSs set in the extended group call service information as a BS from
which to receive an extended group call service and receives group call
paging information from the BS. The MS analyzes the group call paging
information and decides whether the group call service is available from
the BS. If the group call service is available, the MS registers and
connects to the selected BS and receives the group call from the BS.
