1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting capability information associated with physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetitions, the capability information including information on a limit associated with a total number of linked PDCCH candidates per component carrier (CC);
receiving configuration information for configuring one or more search space (SS) sets;
identifying that a first SS set associated with one or more PDCCH candidates is linked to a second SS set associated with one or more PDCCH candidates based on the configuration information; and
monitoring one or more PDCCH candidates in the first SS set and one or more PDCCH candidates in the second SS set,
wherein a first PDCCH candidate in the first SS set and a second PDCCH candidate in the second SS set that are linked to the first SS set have an identical aggregation level.
