1. An apparatus, comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one processor configured to identify overheating of the transceiver and/or the at least one processor, and wirelessly transmit, to a base station via the transceiver, a message including overheating assistance information based on the identified overheating,
wherein the overheating assistance information includes information about radio resources to be discontinuously processed by the apparatus in a time domain,
the radio resources are allocated in the time domain discontinuously rather than continuously,
at least one component of the transceiver and the at least one processor has an idle state and/or a low-power state in a period when the radio resources are not processed
the at least one processor is further configured to obtain a ratio of slots to be processed by the apparatus per unit time based on a predefined lookup table, and
the information about radio resources to be discontinuously processed included in the overheating assistance information includes the ratio of slots to be processed by the apparatus per unit time based on the predefined lookup table.
