A method and apparatus for controlling battery consumption of the User Equipment (UE) equipped with a feature such as Carrier Aggregation is provided. The battery consumption control method of a terminal operating in Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) mode includes determining, when Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) Acknowledgement (ACK) is received, whether a suspension restriction condition is fulfilled, and stopping, when the suspension restriction condition is fulfilled, suspension to flush an HARQ buffer and not monitor a retransmission grant. The battery consumption control method may improve Discontinuous Reception (DRX) efficiency and reduce an unnecessary waste of battery power. |
