1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
receive configuration information identifying a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate and a set of linked PDCCH candidates that are to be monitored for downlink control information (DCI),
wherein the PDCCH candidate has a first aggregation level and the set of linked PDCCH candidates are for repetitions of DCI and have a second aggregation level, and
wherein the PDCCH candidate and one or more PDCCH candidates of the set of linked PDCCH candidates are overlapping and associated with a same control resource set; and
communicate according to one or more rules for the PDCCH candidate overlapping with the one or more PDCCH candidates of the set of linked PDCCH candidates.
