Method and apparatus for reducing terminal power consumption in wireless communication system

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.
