Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive:
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 physical downlink control channel (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; and

a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine receptions of PDCCHs according to the first group of search space sets or the second group of search space sets based on the first value,
wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive the PDCCHs.
