1. A method, comprising:
selecting, by a device, a set of physical downlink control channel candidates from a first set of physical downlink control channel candidates and a second set of physical downlink control channel candidates configured for repeated physical downlink control channel transmission;
determining a scheduling offset or a scheduling order for a transmission scheduled by a downlink control information in the first set of physical downlink control channel candidates and the second set of physical downlink control channel candidates based on the selected set of physical downlink control channel candidates;
detecting or performing the transmission based on the determined scheduling offset or the determined scheduling order,
wherein the selecting is based on at least one of:
an index of a search space set for detecting the first set of physical downlink control channel candidates and an index of a search space set for detecting the second set of physical downlink control channel candidates,
an index of a control resource set for detecting the first set of physical downlink control channel candidates and an index of a control resource set for detecting the second set of physical downlink control channel candidates,
a time from a monitoring occasion of the first set of physical downlink control channel candidates to a following monitoring occasion of the second set of physical downlink control channel candidates and a time from a monitoring occasion of the second set of physical downlink control channel candidates to a following monitoring occasion of the first set of physical downlink control channel candidates,
an order in time for a monitoring occasion of the first set of physical downlink control channel candidates and a monitoring occasion of the second set of physical downlink control channel candidates within a given time window, or
an index of a starting resource for detecting the first set of physical downlink control channel candidates and an index of a starting resource for detecting the second set of physical downlink control channel candidates; and
determining a quasi-co-location assumption for the transmission based on the determined scheduling offset.
