Method and apparatus for using measurement gap of ue having wake-up receiver in communication system

A user equipment (UE) in a communication system, the UE comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
• receive, via higher layer signaling, a first configuration of measurement gap and a second configuration associated with whether signal transmission that is available to be received by the UE using a wake-up receiver (WUR) of the UE is supported by a plurality of cells,
• identify the measurement gap based on the first configuration,
• identify at least one cell supporting the signal transmission among the plurality of cells based on the second configuration, and
• perform, by using the WUR during the measurement gap, a measurement for the at least one cell.

A method performed by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:

• transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) via higher layer signaling, a first configuration of measurement gap and a second configuration associated with whether signal transmission that is available to be received by the UE using a wake-up receiver (WUR) of the UE is supported by a plurality of cells;
• and
• receiving a measurement report for a measurement for at least one cell supporting the signal transmission among the plurality of cells,
• wherein the measurement is associated with the WUR and the measurement gap.
