receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) in slot n, wherein the DCI is a format 1_1 and includes information for a minimum offset; and
applying the minimum offset in slot n+X,
wherein the X is an application delay defined based on a subcarrier spacing of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a subcarrier spacing of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and a parameter associated with the application delay,
wherein the parameter is a first value in case that the DCI format 1_1 with the information for the minimum offset is contained within first N symbols of slot n,
wherein the parameter is a second value in case that the DCI format 1 1 with the information for the minimum offset is received after the first N symbols of the slot n, and
