Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for convergence between IoT technology and a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate beyond a 4G system, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (e.g. smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail businesses, security and safety-related services, etc.) on the basis of 5G communication technologies and IoT-related technologies. In addition, the present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for reducing terminal power consumption in a wireless communication system. A method of a terminal in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise the steps of: receiving control information indicating a minimum offset related to the time interval between a control channel and a data channel scheduled by the control channel from a base station; identifying an application latency time related to subcarrier spacing of the control channel and a reception symbol position of the control information; and after the passage of the application latency time from a slot receiving the control information, transmitting or receiving the control channel and the data channel to or from the base station on the basis of the minimum offset.

Claims (36)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) in slot n, wherein the DCI is a format 1_1 and includes information for a minimum offset; and

applying the minimum offset in slot n+X,

wherein the X is an application delay defined based on a subcarrier spacing of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a subcarrier spacing of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and a parameter associated with the application delay,

wherein the parameter is a first value in case that the DCI format 1_1 with the information for the minimum offset is contained within first N symbols of slot n,

wherein the parameter is a second value in case that the DCI format 1 1 with the information for the minimum offset is received after the first N symbols of the slot n, and

wherein the second value is greater than the first value by 1.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein N equals 3.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information for the minimum offset indicates a minimum applicable value for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduling offset K0 and a minimum applicable value for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduling offset K2.

4. A method performed by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to the terminal, downlink control information (DCI) in slot n, wherein the DCI is a format 1_1 and includes information for a minimum offset; and

applying the minimum offset in slot n+X,

wherein the X is an application delay defined based on a subcarrier spacing of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a subcarrier spacing of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and a parameter associated with the application delay,

wherein the parameter is a first value in case that the DCI format 1_1 with the information for the minimum offset is contained within first N symbols of slot n,

wherein the parameter is a second value in case that the DCI format 1_1 with the information for the minimum offset is transmitted after the first N symbols of the slot n, and

wherein the second value is greater than the first value by 1.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein N equals 3.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the information for the minimum offset indicates both a minimum applicable value for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduling offset K0 and a minimum applicable value for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduling offset K2.

7. A terminal in a communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) in slot n, wherein the DCI is a format 1_1 and includes information for a minimum offset, and

apply the minimum offset in slot n+X,

wherein the X is an application delay defined based on a subcarrier spacing of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a subcarrier spacing of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and a parameter associated with the application delay,

wherein the parameter is a first value in case that the DCI format 1_1 with the information for the minimum offset is contained within first N symbols of slot n,

wherein the parameter is a second value in case that the DCI format 1 1 with the information for the minimum offset is received after the first N symbols of the slot n, and

wherein the second value is greater than the first value by 1.

8. A base station in a communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

transmit, to the terminal, downlink control information (DCI) in slot n, wherein the DCI is a format 1_1 and includes information for a minimum offset, and

apply the minimum offset in slot n+X,

wherein the X is an application delay defined based on a subcarrier spacing of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a subcarrier spacing of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and a parameter associated with the application delay,

wherein the parameter is a first value in case that the DCI format 1_1 with the information for the minimum offset is contained within first N symbols of slot n,

wherein the parameter is a second value in case that the DCI format 1_1 with the information for the minimum offset is transmitted after the first N symbols of the slot n, and

wherein the second value is greater than the first value by 1.
