Claim 19:
20. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a processor;
memory coupled with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
receive, in a millimeter wave (mmW) communications system, a downlink message that indicates a control channel monitoring periodicity and a control channel offset wherein the control channel monitoring periodicity indicates a quantity of slots located between one or more control channel candidates of a set of slots for monitoring; and
receive, via a mmW control channel, downlink control information for a user equipment (UE) based at least in part on a first control channel candidate within a search space of the set of slots and a control channel element (CCE) index for a first CCE of a set of CCEs within the search space, wherein the set of slots and the CCE index are based at least in part on the control channel monitoring periodicity and the control channel offset, and wherein the first control channel candidate for a first slot is based at least in part on a second slot, wherein the first slot and the second slot are configured for control channel monitoring based at least in part on the control channel monitoring periodicity.
