Patent ID: 11638246

Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for a user equipment (UE) device that includes one or more processors configured to identify a search space for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates by: determining whether the search space is a group common search space or a UE specific search space; determining a number of PDCCH candidates per aggregation level (AL); determining a PDCCH monitoring periodicity and a PDCCH monitoring offset for the search space, each including a plurality of slots; determining monitored slots in the monitoring periodicity; determining, for each monitored slot, a monitoring pattern including a set of selected symbols; and determining a set of monitoring occasions corresponding to the set of selected symbols in each monitored slot of each monitoring periodicity. The one or more processors are configured to decode downlink signals received in the set of monitoring occasions to search for PDCCH information for the UE.
