1. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:
identifying a number of cells associated with a capability for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on a number of cells in a first set and a product of a number of cells in a second set and a coefficient, wherein the coefficient for the second set is associated with a number of a transmit and receive point (TRP), configured to each of the cells in the second set;
determining a maximum number of control channel elements (CCEs) for the PDCCH based on the number of cells associated with the capability;
identifying search spaces to monitor based on the maximum number of CCEs; and
monitoring the PDCCH on the identified search spaces.
