Claim 0:
1. A method performed by a terminal supporting a shared spectrum in a communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block; and
receiving, from the base station, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) by monitoring a common search space (CSS) set over slots including a monitoring occasion associated with candidate SS/PBCH blocks that are quasi co-located (QCLed) with the received SS/PBCH block based on a QCL parameter,
wherein the monitoring occasion associated with each of the candidate SS/PBCH blocks is included in two consecutive slots that are determined based on (i) a candidate SS/PBCH block index and (ii) a parameter determined based on the received SS/PBCH block, and
wherein the parameter determined based on the received SS/PBCH block is not determined as 2, in response to the QCL parameter being 1.
