1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving, from a plurality of transmitting-receiving identities, a plurality of control resource set (CORESET) configurations, a plurality of search space set configurations, and a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmitted with a plurality of repetitions, one CORESET being associated with one search space set; and
determining linked monitoring occasions and linked candidates for blind detection of the PDCCH with soft combining, wherein the linked candidates are determined from two search space sets with a one-to-one mapping scheme for soft combining.
