1. A method of communication performed by a base station, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a User Equipment (UE), a downlink control information (DCI) format within at least one each of two Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) candidates for repetition,
wherein the two PDCCH candidates for repetition are transmitted in one slot,
wherein the two PDCCH candidates for repetition include a first PDCCH candidate that starts from a first starting symbol, and a second PDCCH candidate that starts from a second starting symbol, which is later in time than the first starting symbol,
wherein a first Control Resource set (CORESET) for the first PDCCH candidate is associated with a first Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) state or a first quasi co-location (QCL) assumption, and a second CORESET for the second PDCCH candidate is associated with a second TCI state or a second QCL assumption, and
wherein a starting symbol for a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), which is defined relative to the second starting symbol, is based on the DCI format; and
transmitting the PDSCH based on one of the first TCI state and the second TCI state, or one of the first QCL assumption and the second QCL assumption, to the UE.
