Claim 0:
1. A signal reception apparatus, comprising:
a memory that stores a plurality of instructions; and
processor circuitry coupled to the memory and configured to:
receive a first signal containing first control information at a first time domain resource section based on an assumption that a network device uses a first transmission configuration indication (TCI) state; and
receive a second signal at a second time domain resource section based on an assumption that the network device uses a second transmission configuration indication state,

a starting position of the second time domain resource section being determined according to a reference time domain resource section, the reference time domain resource section being related to the first control information, and the reference time domain resource section being predefined or preconfigured,
wherein the processor circuitry is further configured to receive a third signal at a third time domain resource section based on an assumption that the network device uses a third transmission configuration indication state;
a starting position of the third time domain resource section being determined according to the reference time domain resource section and a threshold, or the starting position of the third time domain resource section being determined according to the reference time domain resource section, the threshold being predefined or preconfigured,
the third time domain resource section starts from an M-th time domain resource unit after the reference time domain resource section, M being equal to the threshold, and M being a natural number; or
the third time domain resource section starts from an S-th time domain resource unit after the reference time domain resource section, S being indicated by the first control information, and S being a natural number,

the first signal is physical downlink control (PDCCH), the first control information is downlink control information (DCI), and the reference time domain resource section is a time domain symbol at a last position in the PDCCH where the DCI is located on a time axis.
