1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving a UE grouping-based wake-up signal (WUS) configuration from a base station;
determining, based on the UE supporting a UE grouping-based WUS function, a plurality of WUSs associated with a UE group to which the UE belongs based on the received UE grouping-based WUS configuration, wherein the plurality of WUSs includes a first WUS and a second WUS;
monitoring the plurality of WUSs based on priorities of the plurality of WUSs; and
skipping monitoring remaining WUSs of the plurality of WUSs after the UE successfully detects, for a paging occasion (PO), one of the first WUS and the second WUS, wherein:
priorities of the first WUS and the second WUS are arranged from high to low based on an order of numbers of groups corresponding to the first WUS and the second WUS being from high to low,
the first WUS is a common WUS or a group combination WUS,
the second WUS is a group WUS, and
the priority of the first WUS is higher than the priority of the second WUS.
