Claim 15:
16. A method for use by a base station in a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP)-based wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting a plurality of physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs), wherein each of the plurality of PDCCHs is associated with a respective transmission time and a respective cell index; and
receiving a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource associated with a last PDCCH among the plurality of the PDCCHs,
wherein the plurality of the PDCCHs is ordered based on a transmission time and a cell index associated with each of the plurality of the PDCCHs, and
wherein, among the plurality of PDCCHs, at least two PDCCHs associated with a same transmission time and a same cell index are ordered further based on a control resource set (CORESET) index associated with each of the at least two PDCCHs.
