Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for combining a 5G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rates after 4G systems with IoT technology, and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied for intelligent services based on 5G communication technology and IoT related technology (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail businesses, security and safety related services, and the like). The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for dynamically modifying a configuration of a physical downlink control channel, wherein a base station of a communication system of the present invention may determine whether to dynamically modify a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) configuration, transmit to a terminal a configuration modification indicator indicating a configuration to be modified if dynamically modifying the PDCCH configuration, and apply the modified configuration and transmit downlink control information (DCI) onto the PDCCH.
