Apparatus and methods of joint search space set for enhanced PDCCH transmission with multiple beams from multiple TRPs are disclosed. The apparatus includes: a processor that generates a plurality of versions of Downlink Control Information (DCI) for transmission from a plurality of transmitting-receiving identities with a plurality of Control Resource Sets (CORESETs), each CORESET being transmitted from one of the transmitting-receiving identities; and configures an Information Element (IE) indicating a joint search space set for the DCI, wherein the joint search space set comprises a plurality of component search space sets; and a transmitter that transmits the DCI and the IE using the plurality of transmitting-receiving identities; wherein each one of the component search space sets is configured for monitoring and detecting one DCI version.
