A communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IOT) may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method performed by a user equipment (UE)includes: receiving downlink data and/or downlink control signaling from a base station; determining uplink data and/or uplink control signaling, an uplink time unit and/or an uplink physical channel for transmitting the uplink data and/or the uplink control signaling based on the downlink data and/or the downlink control signaling; and transmitting the uplink data and/or uplink control signaling to the base station on the determined uplink time unit and/or uplink physical channel.
