1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive information to skip reception of a number of physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) over a number of slots;
a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
instruct the transceiver to receive first PDCCHs in first slots from the number of slots when the UE transmits a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) that provides a positive scheduling request (SR) in a first slot that is before the first slots, and
instruct the transceiver to skip the reception of the number of PDCCHs in the number of slots when the UE does not transmit the PUCCH in the first slot,
wherein the transceiver is further configured to, based on the instruction by the processor, receive the first PDCCHs in the first slots or skip the reception of the number of PDCCHs in the number of slots.
