1. A method performed by a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving a first configuration associated with a first operation of switching a search space set group (SSSG) and a second configuration associated with a second operation of skipping a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring;
receiving downlink control information (DCI) comprising a specific field associated with the first configuration and the second configuration;
performing the first operation based on a value in the specific field and the first configuration in a case that the value in the specific field is one of a first set of values; and
performing the second operation based on the value in the specific field and the second configuration in a case that the value in the specific field is one of a second set of values,
wherein a first part of the specific field comprises first information for determining whether to perform the first operation or the second operation, and a second part of the specific field comprises second information indicating an SSSG index or a PDCCH skipping duration.
