1. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, via higher layer signaling, a first configuration associated with a number of quasi co-location (QCL) type D properties for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition;
identifying to perform PDCCH monitoring for the PDCCH repetition on PDCCH candidates in overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions in multiple control resource sets (CORESETs) configured with different QCL type D properties; and
performing the PDCCH monitoring based on the first configuration,
wherein the performing the PDCCH monitoring comprises:
identifying whether second search spaces, except search spaces associated with CORESETs with a first QCL type D property, that are linked with at least one of search spaces associated with the CORESETs with the first QCL type D property by a second configuration associated with search space linking exist;
in case that the second search spaces exist, performing the PDCCH monitoring in a first CORESET with the first QCL type D property and a second CORESET with a second QCL type D property among the multiple CORESETs, wherein the first CORESET corresponds to a search space with lowest index among first search spaces; and
wherein the second CORESET corresponds to a search space with lowest index among the second search spaces, and
in case that the second search spaces do not exist, performing the PDCCH monitoring only in the first CORESET with the first QCL type D property among the multiple CORESETS,
wherein the PDCCH monitoring in the first CORESET with the first QCL type D property is performed based on a first transmission configuration indication (TCI) state corresponding to the first QCL type D property, and
wherein the PDCCH monitoring in the second CORESET with the second QCL type D property is performed based on a second TCI state corresponding to the second QCL type D property.
