A method performed by a terminal of a 2-step random access procedure in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting a message A (MsgA) for the 2-step random access procedure, starting a window at a symbol for receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of a message B (MsgB), wherein the symbol is identified based on whether a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is transmitted in the MsgA with a physical random access channel (PRACH), and detecting downlink control information on the PDCCH of the MsgB during the window.
