Claim 0:
1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive:
a configuration for a set of search space sets, wherein a search space set provides parameters for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) receptions and wherein the parameters include:
time-frequency resources of a control resource set (CORESET) for the PDCCH receptions, and
a group index for the CORESET, and

a PDCCH that provides a downlink control information (DCI) format, wherein the DCI format includes a field providing an indication of a CORESET group index; and

a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine, based on the indication, a group of search space sets in which to receive PDCCHs, wherein the group of search space sets includes each search space set from the set of search space sets that is associated with a CORESET having the CORESET group index, and
wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive the PDCCHs according to the group of search space sets.
