Method and apparatus for control resource set configuration and monitoring of downlink control channel in wireless communication system

A method by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a base station, configuration information for configuring a plurality of bandwidth parts for the terminal, the plurality of bandwidth parts including a first bandwidth part and a second bandwidth part;
• receiving, from the base station, first downlink control information (DCI) in the first bandwidth part, the first DCI including a bandwidth part related indicator for changing an active bandwidth part from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part, wherein a bitwidth for the bandwidth part related indicator is determined based on a number of the plurality of the bandwidth parts configured by the configuration information;
• and
• receiving, from the base station, second DCI in the second bandwidth part, the second DCI being received in at least one control resource set corresponding to the second bandwidth part,
• wherein one or more control resource sets are configured for each of the plurality of bandwidth parts configured for the terminal,
• wherein the active bandwidth part includes at least one common search space,
• wherein a transmission and a reception is not performed with the base station for a time duration after receiving the first DCI,
• wherein the common search space is monitored by the terminal to obtain the second DCI including scheduling information on a system information block, and
• wherein the second DCI is received in the at least one control resource set associated with the common search space.

A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
