Disclosed are a communication technique for merging, with IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system, and a system therefor. The disclosed communication technique and system therefor can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail, security and safety related services, and the like) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for receiving, by a terminal, broadcast information in a communication system. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method by which a terminal receives broadcast information in a communication system comprises the steps of: receiving a plurality of radio frames from a base station; extracting at least one broadcasting channel signal from the plurality of radio frames in every set period; combining, for a preset time slot, the at least one broadcasting channel signal extracted in every set period; and acquiring broadcast information by decoding the combined broadcasting channel signal.
