A method of selecting, by a user equipment, UE, physical downlink control channel, PDCCH, candidates for non-coherent joint transmission, NC-JT, in a wireless network, the method comprising: configuring a first set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters and a second set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters for the user equipment, UE, wherein the first and second sets of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters are configured on a first downlink, DL, component carrier to enable NC-JT; determining a first control channel element, CCE, limit for the first set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters, the first CCE limit corresponding to a maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs per slot for the first set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters; determining a second CCE limit for the second set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters, the second CCE limit corresponding to a maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs perslot for the second set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters; selecting one or more PDCCH candidates for the first set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters based at least in part on the determined first CCE limit for the first set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters; selecting one or more PDCCH candidates for the second set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters based at least in part on the determined second CCE limit for the second set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters; receiving a first portion of a NC-JT communication from a first transmission and reception point, TRP, based on the selected one or more PDCCH candidates for the first set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters; and receiving a second portion of the NC-JT communication from a second TRP based on the selected one or more PDCCH candidates for the second set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters. configuring a first set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters and a second set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters for the user equipment, UE, wherein the first and second sets of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters are configured on a first downlink, DL, component carrier to enable NC-JT; determining a first control channel element, CCE, limit for the first set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters, the first CCE limit corresponding to a maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs per slot for the first set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters; determining a second CCE limit for the second set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters, the second CCE limit corresponding to a maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs perslot for the second set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters; selecting one or more PDCCH candidates for the first set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters based at least in part on the determined first CCE limit for the first set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters; selecting one or more PDCCH candidates for the second set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters based at least in part on the determined second CCE limit for the second set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters; receiving a first portion of a NC-JT communication from a first transmission and reception point, TRP, based on the selected one or more PDCCH candidates for the first set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters; and receiving a second portion of the NC-JT communication from a second TRP based on the selected one or more PDCCH candidates for the second set of ControlResourceSet and SearchSpace parameters.
