1. A method of operating a user equipment, comprising:
receiving a control message from a network node, the control message including a first information element (IE) including an indication of an added synchronization signal block/physical cell identity (SSB/PCI) and the control message including a second IE including the indication of the added SSB/PCI, wherein the indication of the added SSB/PCI indicates an SSB and associated PCI that are associated with a radio link, and wherein the second IE relates to at least one of channel state information (CSI) radio link monitoring, uplink power control, and/or uplink spatial relations;
performing a radio link monitoring function on the radio link based on the indication of the added SSB/PCI; and
performing uplink power control on the radio link based on the indication of the added SSB/PCI.
