1. A method for receiving physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving:
a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) that provides radio resource control (RRC) information indicating:
a first group of search space sets and a second group of search space sets within a bandwidth part (BWP), and
a first group index for the first group of search space sets and a second group index for the second group of search space sets, and

a first PDCCH in a first slot that provides a downlink control information (DCI) format, wherein:
the DCI format schedules a second PDSCH reception or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, and
the DCI format includes a field with a first value indicating the first group index or the second group index;

determining receptions of the PDCCHs according to the first group of search space sets or the second group of search space sets based on the first value; and
receiving the PDCCHs.
