1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more memories storing processor-executable code; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the UE to:
receive a configuration message indicating a first pool index configuration associated with a first control resource set and a second pool index configuration associated with a second control resource set, wherein the first pool index configuration and the second pool index configuration comprise a same value;
combine a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate corresponding to a first search space set associated with the first control resource set and a second PDCCH candidate corresponding to a second search space set associated with the second control resource set to form a combined PDCCH candidate based at least in part on a capability of the UE associated with supporting PDCCH repetition, wherein the UE counts the first PDCCH candidate, the second PDCCH candidate, and the combined PDCCH candidate as monitored PDCCH candidates; and
monitor the combined PDCCH candidate based at least in part on the first pool index configuration and the second pool index configuration comprising the same value.
