1. A method at a user equipment, the method comprising:
receiving a downlink signal in a physical downlink control channel search space;
decoding a physical downlink control channel candidate according to a downlink control information format based on the received downlink signal,
where downlink control information of the downlink control information format dynamically indicates a transmission mode of a plurality of transmission modes, and
where the plurality of transmission modes include at least
transmission of multiple associated physical shared channels and
non-coherent joint transmission in a physical shared channel;
determining a transmission mode from the decoded physical downlink control channel candidate; and
communicating user data via at least one physical shared channel according to the determined transmission mode.
