Patent ID: 11051292

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may be configured with multiple control resource sets (CORESETs) within a slot. The UE may identify a set of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) occasions to monitor within the slot, where each PDCCH occasion corresponds to a search space set for a CORESET. The UE may determine a first configuration and a second configuration for monitoring the PDCCH occasions, where the first configuration corresponds to slot-based thresholds and the second configuration corresponds to symbol-based or occasion-based thresholds for monitoring. These thresholds may specify a threshold number of PDCCH candidates to blind decode, a threshold number of non-overlapping control channel elements (CCEs) to perform channel estimation for, or both, where the threshold numbers support low latency processing at the UE. Either the configuration or the UE may enforce the thresholds.
