Claim 7:
8. A base station comprising:
a transmitter configured to:
transmit a configuration for a time domain offset;
transmit configuration for a search space set; and
transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), according to the search space set in a common search space (CSS), in a slot that is before a slot corresponding to a start of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle;

an encoder configured to encode a downlink control information (DCI) format in the PDCCH, wherein the DCI format includes a field indicating either transmission or no transmission of PDCCHs in a number of next DRX cycles; and
a processor operably coupled to the encoder and the transmitter, the processor configured to instruct the transmitter to either transmit or to skip transmission of the PDCCHs in the number of next DRX cycles based on the indication by the field in the DCI format.
