Claim 13:
14. A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a power boost indication for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);
transmitting a request to lower a carrier aggregation level for one or more PDCCH candidates or an indication of a recommended carrier aggregation level for the one or more PDCCH candidates;
restricting a number of search spaces for performing blind decoding of the PDCCH based on the power boost indication;
monitoring for the PDCCH with the indicated power boost from the base station in the restricted number of search spaces based on the power boost indication from the base station; and
performing the blind decoding for at least a subset of the one or more PDCCH candidates with lowered carrier aggregation level or the recommended carrier aggregation level based on the request or the indication.
