Abstract

Provided is a method of transmitting and receiving control information in a wireless communication system, and an apparatus therefor. The method may include receiving interruption configuration information via upper signaling from a base station (BS), when a format of an interruption indicator transmitted from the BS to a user equipment is determined based on the received interruption configuration information, searching for the interruption indicator, and identifying, based on the format of the interruption indicator, information included in the interruption indicator detected as a result of the searching.

wherein the symbol indicated as the UL by the slot format indication information is excluded from the set of symbols indicated by the DCI including the pre-emption indication information; and

wherein a number K of symbols is identified as a result of excluding the symbol indicated as the UL by the slot format indication information from the set of symbols indicated by the DCI including the pre-emption indication information.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

providing, to the UE, indication information for the set of PRBs and the set of symbols,

wherein the pre-emption indication information is configured with N bits,

wherein N symbol groups of consecutive symbols from the set of symbols are identified in case that the indication information for the set of PRBs and the set of symbols indicates a first value, where each of N symbol groups one-to-one corresponds to each of the N bits and the N symbol groups of consecutive symbol includes a first symbol group including
