2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing of the predetermined operation further comprises:
determining whether a message indicating the base station has the downlink data to transmit is received from the base station; and
if the message is received from the base station, monitoring the downlink data before the start of the on duration of the DRX and after the transmitting of the beam feedback information.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the performing of the predetermined operation further comprises:
if the message is not received from the base station, skipping the monitoring of the downlink data during the on duration of the DRX.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the performing of the predetermined operation further comprises:
if the message is not received from the base station, monitoring the downlink data from the start of the on duration of the DRX.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing of the predetermined operation further comprises:
if a message indicating the base station has the downlink data to transmit is received from the base station, monitoring the downlink data from the start of the on duration of the DRX; and
if the message is not received from the base station, skipping the monitoring of the downlink data during the on duration of the DRX.
6. A communication method of a base station, the communication method comprising:
transmitting, to a terminal, configuration information of discontinuous reception (DRX);
receiving, from the terminal, beam feedback information according to beam measurement before a start of an on duration of the DRX; and
if the base station has downlink data to transmit, transmitting, to the terminal, a message indicating that the base station has the downlink data to transmit before the start of the on duration of the DRX and after the receiving of the beam feedback information.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
transmitting, to the terminal, the downlink data before the start of the on duration of the DRX and after receiving the beam feedback information.
8. A terminal comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive and transmit a signal; and
a controller configured to:
receive, from a base station, configuration information of discontinuous reception (DRX),
perform beam measurement before a start of an on duration of the DRX,
transmit, to the base station, beam feedback information according to a result of the beam measurement, and
perform a predetermined operation after transmitting the beam feedback information,
wherein the transceiver is further configured to monitor downlink data before the start of the on duration of the DRX and after the transmitting of the beam feedback information.
9. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
if a message indicating the base station has the downlink data to transmit is received from the base station, monitor the downlink data before the start of the on duration of the DRX and after the transmitting the beam feedback information, and
if the message is not received from the base station, skip the monitoring of the downlink data during the on duration of the DRX.
10. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
if a message indicating the base station has the downlink data to transmit is received from the base station, monitor the downlink data before the start of the on duration of the DRX and after the transmitting the beam feedback information, and
if the message is not received from the base station, monitor the downlink data from the start of the on duration of the DRX.
11. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
if a message indicating the base station has the downlink data to transmit is received from the base station, monitor the downlink data from the start of the on duration of the DRX; and
if the message is not received from the base station, skip the monitoring of the downlink data during the on duration of the DRX.
12. A base station comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive and transmit a signal; and
a controller configured to:
transmit, to a terminal, configuration information of discontinuous reception (DRX),
receive, from the terminal, beam feedback information according to beam measurement before a start of an on duration of the DRX, and
if the base station has downlink data to transmit, transmit, to the terminal, a message indicating that the base station has the downlink data to transmit before the start of the on duration of the DRX and after the receiving of the beam feedback information.
13. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
transmit, to the terminal, the downlink data before the start of the on duration of the DRX and after receiving the beam feedback information.
