1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a first synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block in a first transmission window, wherein the first transmission window is set in units of half frames and starts from a start point of a half frame;
determining a candidate SS/PBCH block index based on a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) sequence transmitted in a PBCH of the first SS/PBCH block; and
determining an index of the first SS/PBCH block based on a modulo operation between the candidate SS/PBCH block index and a value indicated by higher layer signaling,
wherein a number of SS/PBCH blocks transmitted within a transmission window is not larger than the value.
