1. A method performed by a wireless device, comprising:
receiving slot offset indication information from a wireless communication node, wherein the slot offset indication information classifies a slot offset information set for scheduling an uplink transmission or a downlink reception as either a first kind set or a second kind set;
determining, based on the slot offset indication information, whether the slot offset information set is the first kind set or the second kind set, wherein:
the slot offset information set being determined as the first kind set indicates that slot offsets in the first kind set are greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to Nmax, wherein Nmax is a positive integer greater than 10, and
the slot offset information set being determined as the second kind set indicates that slot offsets in the second kind set are greater than or equal to a minimum threshold value and less than or equal to Nmax, wherein the minimum threshold value is greater than 0 and is indicated to the wireless device via a first radio resource control (RRC) message; and
performing the uplink transmission or the downlink reception according to the first kind set or the second kind set as determined based on the slot offset indication information.
