Claim 18:
19. A system, comprising:
a processing circuit; and
a non-transitory storage medium connected to the processing circuit,
the non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuit, cause the performance of:
sending, to a network, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring capability information, the PDCCH monitoring capability information including:
a span pattern requirement specifying one or more restrictions on lengths and separations, and
a minimum time separation requirement, the minimum time separation requirement specifying a minimum time separation between downlink control informations (DCIs);

receiving, from the network, a first monitoring occasion (MO) pattern;
determining that the first MO pattern does not comply with the span pattern requirement; and
inferring, in response to determining that the first MO pattern does not comply with the span pattern requirement, that the network has elected to comply with the minimum time separation requirement.
