1. A method in a user equipment, UE, the method comprising:
receiving a first field within a first downlink control information, DCI, format, the UE operating in an initial state upon reception of the first field, the initial state being a first state;
while operating in the first state where a minimum slot offset is applicable for at least one of receiving data or transmitting data:
switching from operating in the first state to operating in a second state responsive to detecting a first state value for the first field in a first control message using the first DCI format in a first slot of a first set of slots, wherein the UE switches to operate in the second state after a first application delay regardless of the receiving a state value different from the first value in between the first slot and the first application delay; and
while operating in the second state where the minimum slot offset is not applicable for at least one of receiving the data and transmitting the data:
switching from operating in the second state to the first state responsive to detecting a second state value for the first field in the first slot of a second set of slots, wherein the UE switches to operate in the first state after a second application delay regardless of the receiving a state value different from the second value in between the first slot of the second set of slots and the application delay.
