Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 29:
30. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and
a processing system including one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the processing system is configured to cause the apparatus to:
detect a soft overlap condition in which a distance between two physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions in time is less than a threshold value, wherein the threshold value is in OFDM symbols;
monitor, in response to detection of the soft overlap condition, PDCCHs based on a prioritization rule applied to the PDCCH monitoring occasions; and
perform, based on the threshold value being in OFDM symbols, a numerology conversion based on the threshold value being applied across component carriers with different subcarrier spacings (SCSs).
