Downlink control for multiple transmit receive point configurations

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

• memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• receive an indication of a set of corresponding physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates that includes at least a first PDCCH candidate included in a first control resource set (CORESET) and a corresponding second PDCCH candidate included in a second CORESET, wherein the first CORESET and the second CORESET have different transmission configuration indication (TCI) states;
• and
• selectively perform, based at least in part on a configuration, at least one of:
• independent decoding of the first PDCCH candidate,
• independent decoding of the second PDCCH candidate, or
• joint decoding of the first PDCCH candidate and the second PDCCH candidate.

A base station for wireless communication, comprising:

• memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• transmit an indication of a set of corresponding physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates that includes at least a first PDCCH candidate included in a first control resource set (CORESET) and a corresponding second PDCCH candidate included in a second CORESET, wherein the first CORESET and the second CORESET have different transmission configuration indication (TCI) states;
• and
• selectively transmit, based at least in part on a configuration, on the first PDCCH candidate, on the second PDCCH candidate, or on both the first PDCCH candidate and the second PDCCH candidate.
