1. A method by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
monitoring, by the UE, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on an active time of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle;
obtaining, by the UE, from the monitored PDCCH, downlink control information (DCI) for indicating at least one uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) configuration as a format for one or more time intervals;
determining, by the UE, the format for the one or more time intervals based on the obtained DCI; and
communicating with a radio access network (RAN) node based on the format for the one or more time intervals,
wherein the active time includes a time when the UE performs continuous reception.
