## Abstract

A method for transmitting a channel state by a terminal in a communication system, according to one embodiment, comprises the steps of: receiving discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information from a base station; determining whether the terminal is set to transmit channel state information only in onDuration according to a DRX operation; determining whether an arbitrary subframe to be received is a subframe included in onDuration if the terminal is set to transmit the channel state information only in onDuration according to the configuration; and not transmitting the channel state information on the arbitrary subframe if the arbitrary subframe is not a subframe included in onDuration. According to the embodiment, the terminal can efficiently report channel state information.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, measurement configuration information including measurement target information and measurement report trigger information;
obtaining system frame number (SFN) offset information, in case that the terminal is required to obtain the SFN offset information based on the measurement configuration information; and
transmitting, to the base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including the SFN offset information, the SFN offset information including first information indicating a difference between a first SFN of a first cell and a second SFN of a second cell and second information indicating a difference between a specific timing of the first cell and a specific timing of the second cell.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the RRC message is transmitted after a predetermined time associated with the SFN offset information.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the RRC message is transmitted, in case that the terminal obtains the first information and the second information.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1,
wherein the measurement configuration information includes information indicating at least one cell for the measurement for the SFN offset information, and
wherein the RRC message further includes a physical cell identity of the second cell.
