1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transceiver;
a processor, operatively coupled to the transceiver,
wherein the transceiver and the processor are configured to:
receive information indicating time slots that the UE is to monitor a plurality of first channels for control messages associated with a UE identification of the UE, the control messages including control messages that are used to allocate physical resources to the UE;
receive a second channel transmission in a time slot prior to at least one of the indicated time slots,
determine whether the second channel transmission has a monitoring indicator bit for the UE or uplink transmission information for the UE,
based on the second channel transmission having the uplink transmission information, send an uplink transmission based on the uplink transmission information,
based on the second channel transmission having the monitoring indication bit, the monitoring indication bit indicating that the UE is not to monitor the plurality of first channels in the at least one of the indicated time slots and the monitoring indication bit being a single bit;
receive a third channel transmission in a time slot prior to at least another one of the indicated time slots, the third channel transmission indicating that the UE is to monitor for the plurality of first channels in the at least another one of the indicated time slots; and
monitor for the plurality of first channels in the at least another one of the indicated time slots based on the received third channel transmission.
