Abstract: ABSTRACT METHODS FOR CONTROL CHANNEL ENHANCEMENTS AND SIGNALLING SUPPORT FOR NON- TERRESTRIAL NETWORKS A method for enhancing control channel coverage for non-terrestrial network (NTN) in a wireless communication. The method comprising determining by at least one first node, number of repetitions of at least one physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) information based on at least one of an elevation angle, an antenna beam index and a link quality of a wireless communication channel; determining by the at least one first node, an aggregation level based on the at least one of elevation angle, beam index and the link quality for the repetition of the at least one PDCCH; and signaling by the at least one first node, at least one of the number of repetitions of the at least one PDCCH information and the associated aggregation level to the at least one second node.
