Abstract

A communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT) are provided. The system and method provides for receiving, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) including information on a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number, identifying at least one grant free resource corresponding to the information on the HARQ process number, and releasing the at least one grant free resource based on the information. The disclosure discloses a grant-free based data transmission method in a wireless communication system that may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services.
