Claim 0:
1. An apparatus, comprising:
radio frequency (RF) interface circuitry; and
processing circuitry coupled with the interface circuitry and configured to:
multiplex one or more physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) carrying downlink control information (DCI) for a User Equipment (UE) in a time division multiplexing (TDM) manner;
perform a resource mapping to map the multiplexed one or more PDCCHs into frequency and time resources in a control resource set (CORESET); and
provide the multiplexed one or more PDCCHs to the RF interface circuitry for transmission to the UE with the frequency and time resources in the CORESET,

wherein the one or more PDCCHs are respectively transmitted in one or more Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) symbols maintaining a single carrier property in the CORESET.
