One embodiment of the present specification provides a method for supporting a power saving mode in a wireless device. The method can comprise the steps of: transmitting a request message including a first active time value to a network entity, if a PSM is necessary; and receiving a rejection message for the request message from the network entity. Here, the rejection message includes the reason for rejection, and can include a second active time value determined by considering the first active time value. The method can comprise the steps of terminating the transmission procedure of the request message after receiving the reject message, and entering a PSM state on the basis of the second active time value.
