1. A terminal operating in a shared spectrum channel in a communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
receive, from a base station, configuration information for a physical random access channel (PRACH);
in case that the configuration information for the PRACH includes a first parameter, transmit, to the base station, a PRACH based on a first sequence length of the PRACH, a frequency offset of a first PRACH transmission occasion in frequency domain with respect to a physical resource block with index 0 of an uplink bandwidth part (BWP), a start of a first set of resource blocks (RBs) associated with the first PRACH transmission occasion, and a start of a second set of RBs associated with a second PRACH transmission occasion; and
in case that the configuration information for the PRACH does not include the first parameter, transmit, to the base station, the PRACH based on a second sequence length of the PRACH, the frequency offset of the first PRACH transmission occasion in frequency domain with respect to the physical resource block with index 0 of the uplink BWP, and a number of RBs occupied.
