Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method of checking for false downlink control information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: selecting one or more radio network temporary identifiers (RNTI) for which a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) needs to be configured, based on an operating mode in which a client device is presently operating; for every subframe, configuring, by one or more processors, the one or more selected RNTI into a PDCCH decoder; for every subframe, configuring a number of PDCCHs to be received for each configured RNTI to the PDCCH decoder; and performing PDCCH decoding using the PDCCH decoder; and limiting a maximum number of blind PDCCH decoding attempts for a given selected RNTI, based on a result of a determination whether a predetermined maximum number of successful PDCCHs in any given subframe for the given selected RNTI is reached.
