1. A method in a network node for supporting a predetermined set of one or more aggregation levels for configuration of a downlink control channel for one of a slot Transmission Time Interval, TTI, and a subslot TTI, the method comprising:
determining an aggregation level of the predetermined set of one or more aggregation levels to be monitored by a wireless device, WD, in a communication network;
determining a number of downlink control channel candidates for the WD to monitor within each of the one of the slot TTI and the subslot TTI, the number of downlink control channel candidates being based upon the aggregation level; and
transmitting a configuration to the wireless device indicating the predetermined set of one or more aggregation levels to be monitored by the WD, and indicating, for each configured aggregation level to be monitored, the number of downlink control channel candidates for the WD to monitor, the downlink control channel being a short physical downlink control channel, sPDCCH.
