1. A method for operating a wireless user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving configuration information comprising a first value, comprising a 1 or a 0, of a pool index for a first control resource set (CORESET), wherein the pool index is configured to be either 1 or 0, wherein respective values of the pool index have one to one associations with respective transmission and reception points (TRPs);
receiving a plurality of Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) transmissions scheduling a plurality Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmissions;
transmitting, in response to a first PDSCH transmission, a first report of control information including a hybrid automatic request (HARQ) acknowledgement or negative acknowledge in a first Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmission, wherein the first report of control information:
is associated with the first value of the pool index corresponding to the first CORESET when a first PDCCH transmission scheduling the first PDSCH is received on the first CORESET; or
is associated with a second value of the pool index corresponding to a second CORESET when the first PDCCH transmission scheduling the first PDSCH is received on the second CORESET, wherein the pool index is not configured for the second CORESET.
