1. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a configuration for a discovery burst transmission window; and
receiving, from the base station via a shared spectrum, at least one synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block in at least one discovery burst transmission window configured with a periodicity,
wherein SS/PBCH blocks corresponding to a same SS/PBCH block index are quasi co-located (QCLed),
wherein the SS/PBCH block index is determined based on I and K, where I is an index of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence transmitted in a PBCH of a corresponding SS/PBCH block and K is a maximum number of transmitted SS/PBCH blocks in one discovery burst transmission window, and
wherein the SS/PBCH block index is determined as I mod K.
