Claim:
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising: determining, by a wireless communication device, a first decoding candidate in a first search space and a second decoding candidate in a second search space, where the first decoding candidate and the second decoding candidate have a same size but the first decoding candidate has a first set of information fields defined for the first search space that is different from a second set of information fields defined for the second search space for the second decoding candidate; identifying, by the wireless communication device, a difference between the first set of information fields defined for the first search space and the second set of information fields defined for the second search space; and selecting, by the wireless communication device, the first decoding candidate instead of the second decoding candidate as a valid candidate based on the identified difference.
