More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a method and a device therefor, the method comprising the steps of: receiving gap configuration information indicating a gap section in a search space; when a first search space related to a data signal in a specific time interval and a second search space related to the paging signal are configured in different narrowbands (NBs), monitoring the second search space in the specific time interval, wherein the first search space is not monitored in the specific time interval on the basis of the gap section; and when the first search space and the second search space are configured in one NB in the specific time interval, monitoring the first search space and the second search space in the specific time interval without applying the gap section. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for receiving a paging signal by a user equipment (UE) in a radio resource control (RRC) connected mode comprising: receiving gap configuration information indicating a gap period of a search space; when a first search space associated with a data signal and a second search space associated with the paging signal are configured in different narrowbands (NBs) in a specific time period, monitoring the second search space in the specific time period without monitoring the first search space in the specific time period based on the gap period; and when the first search space and the second search space are configured in one NB in the specific time period, monitoring the first search space and the second search space in the specific time period without consideration of the gap period. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein: when the first search space and the second search space are configured in different NBs in the specific time period, the first search space is postponed to a time period in which the second search space is not configured based on the gap period. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein: when a time period of the second search space overlaps with a time period of physical downlink control channel (PDSCH) reception, the second search space is not monitored in the overlapped time period. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein: when the UE operates in a half-duplex frequency division duplex (HD-FDD) and a time period of the second search space overlaps with a time period of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, the second search space is not monitored in the overlapped time period. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein: when the UE operates in a half-duplex frequency division duplex (HD-FDD) and a time period of the second search space overlaps with a time period of physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission, the second search space is not monitored in the overlapped time period. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein: when the UE operates in a half-duplex frequency division duplex (HD-FDD) and a time period of the second search space overlaps with a time period of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission, the second search space is not monitored in the overlapped time period. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein: the first search space is a UE-specific search space (USS), and the second search space is a common search space (CSS). ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein: the paging signal includes earthquake and tsunami warning system (ETWS) information or commercial mobile alert system (CMAS) information. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein: the UE is configured to operate in a coverage extension (CE) mode. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein: the UE includes at least two reception antennas, and supports a maximum of 20 MHz bandwidth within one component carrier. ### Claim 11 A user equipment (UE) configured to receive a paging signal in a wireless communication system comprising: a radio frequency (RF) transceiver;

when a first search space associated with a data signal and a second search space associated with the paging signal are configured in different narrowbands (NBs) in a specific time period, monitoring the second search space in the specific time period without monitoring the first search space in the specific time period based on the gap period; and when the first search space and the second search space are configured in one NB in the specific time period, monitoring the first search space and the second search space in the specific time period without consideration of the gap period. ### Claim 12 An apparatus for a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system comprising: a memory including executable code; and a processor operatively connected to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to perform specific operations by executing the executable code, the specific operations including: receiving gap configuration information indicating a gap period of a search space; when a first search space associated with a data signal and a second search space associated with the paging signal are configured in different narrowbands (NBs) in a specific time period, monitoring the second search space in the specific time period without monitoring the first search space in the specific time period based on the gap period;
