1. A wireless communication method, comprising:
determining, by a wireless communication device, a first counter and a second counter for a pair of linked Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) candidates, comprising:
determining, by the wireless communication device, a first counter value X1 of the first counter corresponding to a first linked PDCCH candidate of the pair of linked PDCCH candidates; and
determining, by the wireless communication device, a second counter value X2 of the second counter corresponding to a second linked PDCCH candidate of the pair of linked PDCCH candidates, wherein X1 is 1 and X2 is 2, wherein downlink control information (DCI) transmissions detected in the pair of PDCCH candidates carry same control information, and wherein a value of each of the first counter or the second counter represents a number of the linked PDCCH candidates for PDCCH monitoring, and is an integer value; and
detecting, by the wireless communication device, downlink information using the pair of linked PDCCH candidates, the first counter, and the second counter.
