Claim:
1. A method for a discontinuous reception by a terminal, the method comprising: receiving information about a first discontinuous reception cycle, a duration of the first discontinuous reception cycle and a second discontinuous reception cycle from a base station; performing the discontinuous reception of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a first component carrier based on the information about the first discontinuous reception cycle in the duration of the first discontinuous reception cycle; receiving a first message; and switching the discontinuous reception on the first component carrier from the first discontinuous reception cycle to the second discontinuous reception cycle in response to the first message in the duration of the first discontinuous reception cycle, wherein the second discontinuous reception cycle is longer than the first discontinuous reception cycle, and wherein the PDCCH comprises a carrier indicator (CI) indicating a second component carrier through which a data channel is received by the terminal.
