Ultra-reliable low latency communication with multiple transmission-reception points

A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• monitoring for downlink control information (DCI) in:
• a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate corresponding to a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port, and
• a second PDCCH candidate corresponding to a second DMRS port;
• and
• receiving first DCI in the first PDCCH candidate and second DCI in the second PDCCH candidate based at least in part on the monitoring, wherein the first DCI and the second DCI comprise same information according to a mapping between the first PDCCH candidate and the second PDCCH candidate.
