A method and a user equipment for beam indication for DL reception are provided. The method includes: receiving a first configuration for configuring a plurality of first TCI states, each of the plurality of first TCI states applied for a PDCCH and a PDSCH; receiving a MAC-CE for activating one or more first TCI states from the plurality of first TCI states; receiving first DCI indicating one of the one or more first TCI states activated by the MAC-CE, the first DCI comprising one field for indicating scheduling information for a PDSCH, the indicated scheduling information being invalid for the PDSCH; transmitting a HARQ-ACK on a PUCCH resource determined by another one field in the first DCI when receiving the first DCI; and receiving the PDCCH and the PDSCH based on a spatial RX parameter derived according to the indicated first TCI state after transmitting the HARQ-ACK.
