1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) operating with a half-duplex frequency division duplex (HD-FDD) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a configuration for an uplink transmission via a higher layer signaling;
identifying a set of symbols for synchronization signals (SS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) forming a SS/PBCH block based on SS/PBCH information received via the higher layer signaling;
identifying a time interval for uplink and downlink switching, the time interval starting after a last symbol of the uplink transmission;
based on an identification that (i) the configuration for the uplink transmission configures a transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and (ii) at least one symbol of the set of symbols for the SS/PBCH block is included in the time interval for uplink and downlink switching, receiving the SS/PBCH block on the set of symbols and skipping the transmission of the PUSCH; and
based on an identification that (i) the configuration for the uplink transmission configures a transmission of a sounding reference signal (SRS) and (ii) the at least one symbol of the set of symbols for the SS/PBCH block is included in the time interval for uplink and downlink switching, receiving the SS/PBCH block on the set of symbols and performing the transmission of the SRS by skipping a transmission of the SRS on at least one symbol that is within the time interval and before the set of symbols for the SS/PBCH block.
