Claim 10:
11. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
receive physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) from a network;
prior to decoding the PDCCHs, identify PDCCH candidate numbers of the PDCCHs; and
link two or more of the PDCCHs having common PDCCH candidate numbers as repeated PDCCHs, wherein the common PDCCH candidate numbers are across search space (SS) sets of a control resource set (CORESET), and each of the repeated PDCCHs comprises downlink control information (DCI) that schedules reception of a same physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) at the UE:

wherein the repeated PDCCHs are received in accordance with the UE and the network communicating using a multi-transmission and reception point (TRP) repetition scheme or a multi-TRP multi-chance scheme.
