1. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver configured to:
receive, from a base station, a higher layer signaling including (i) a configuration of at least one tracking reference signal (TRS) resource set for use in at least a radio resource control (RRC) idle state or an RRC inactive state and (ii) information on a validity duration for the at least one TRS resource set, and
receive, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a paging early indication (PEI) radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), wherein the DCI includes an availability indication providing a bitmap associated with the at least one TRS resource set of the configuration; and
a processor operably coupled with the transceiver, the processor configured to identify a TRS resource set among the at least one TRS resource set based on a value of a bit of the bitmap, wherein the TRS resource set is available for the validity duration.
