1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a configuration of a paging early indication (PEI), wherein the configuration includes information on a number of paging occasions (POs);
receiving, based on the configuration, downlink control information (DCI) including an indication field associated with the PEI, wherein a bit in the indication field indicates a UE subgroup of a PO; and
in case that a value of the bit in the indication field is 1, monitoring the PO corresponding to the bit associated with the UE subgroup to which the UE belongs,
wherein the UE subgroup to which the UE belongs is one of N UE subgroups corresponding to the PO, and
the indication field corresponds to M segments of N bits where M is the number of POs.
