1. A method for wireless communications performed by a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, on a first cell, a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration of the first cell and a second RRC configuration of a second cell that is cross-carrier scheduled by the first cell, the first RRC configuration comprising a first search space configuration and a first search space Identifier (ID) of the first search space configuration, the second RRC configuration comprising a second search space configuration;

monitoring, on the first cell, a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of the first cell, based on the first search space configuration; and

monitoring, on the first cell, a second PDCCH of the second cell based on the second search space configuration, wherein:

the second search space configuration is indicated by the first search space ID of the first search space configuration;

a portion of the second search space configuration is different from the first search space configuration; and

the portion of the second search space configuration different from the first search space configuration comprises at least one of:

a number of PDCCH candidates of each Aggregation Level (AL);

a monitoring periodicity; and

a format of Downlink Control Information (DCI).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first search space configuration and the second search space configuration are associated with a same Control Resource Set (CORESET) ID.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first search space configuration and the second search space configuration are associated with different Control Resource Set (CORESET) IDs.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the UE, a Beam Failure Recovery (BFR) configuration from a base station via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, the BFR configuration comprising a second search space ID of a third search space configuration associated with a Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured on a specific cell other than the second cell.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the specific cell is the first cell or a self-scheduling cell other than the first cell.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the third search space configuration comprises at least one of:

a number of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs);

a number of symbols; and

a Control Channel Element (CCE) to Resource Element Group (REG) mapping.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the UE, a CORESET configuration from a base station, the CORESET configuration comprising a plurality of Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state IDs.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

applying, by the UE, two of the plurality of TCI state IDs to receive the first PDCCH and the second PDCCH simultaneously.

9. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

one or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon;

at least one processor coupled to the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive, on a first cell, a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration of the first cell and a second RRC configuration of a second cell that is cross-carrier scheduled by the first cell, the first RRC configuration comprising a first search space configuration and a first search space Identifier (ID) of the first search space configuration, the second RRC configuration comprising a second search space configuration;

monitor, on the first cell, a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of the first cell, based on the first search space configuration; and

monitor, on the first cell, a second PDCCH of the second cell based on the second search space configuration, wherein:

the second search space configuration is indicated by the first search space ID of the first search space configuration;

a portion of the second search space configuration is different from the first search space configuration; and

the portion of the second search space configuration different from the first search space configuration comprises at least one of:

a number of PDCCH candidates of each Aggregation Level (AL);

a monitoring periodicity; and

a format of Downlink Control Information (DCI).

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the first search space configuration and the second search space configuration are associated with a same Control Resource Set (CORESET) ID.

11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the first search space configuration and the second search space configuration are associated with different Control Resource Set (CORESET) IDs.

12. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive a Beam Failure Recovery (BFR) configuration from a base station via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, the BFR configuration comprising a second search space ID of a third search space configuration associated with a Control Resource Set (CORESET) configured on a specific cell other than the second cell.

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the specific cell is the first cell or a self-scheduling cell other than the first cell.

14. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the third search space configuration comprises at least one of one of:

a number of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs);

a number of symbols; and

a Control Channel Element (CCE) to Resource Element Group (REG) mapping.

15. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive a CORESET configuration from a base station, the CORESET configuration comprising a plurality of Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state IDs.

16. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

apply two of the plurality of TCI state IDs to receive the first PDCCH and the second PDCCH simultaneously.
