1. A method of operating a user equipment, the method comprising:
detecting a condition related to the user equipment (UE) while in one of a radio frequency (RF) inactive state and a cell handover, the condition indicating one of (a) the UE is not in reception of signaling information from a serving base station during the RF inactive state and (b) the UE is out of synchronization with the serving base station;
determining an event related to one of transmission of data by the UE, reception of data by the UE, and radio resource management (RRM) measurement by the UE in conjunction with the detected condition; and
applying one or more of (a) a blind downlink control information (DCI) decoding, (b) a static DCI configuration and (c) a dynamic DCI configuration based on the determination to enable the UE to at least one of (a) receive the signaling information, (b) receive the data, and (c) perform the RRM measurement,
determining a reception of the signaling information prior to the UE switching to the RF inactive state from a RF active state during a start offset, the start offset indicating start position of RF active period;
applying a higher priority to the reception of signaling information based on a periodicity factor of the signaling information prior to the UE switching to the RF inactive slate; and
enabling the UE to receive the signaling information in the RF active state.
