Abstract
Systems and methods for search area-based control channel monitoring are provided. According to one exemplary embodiment, a method is performed by a control node for communication with a user equipment. Further, the communication is structured in frames with each frame having subframes. The method includes transmitting, by the control node, a control channel in a search area that is in a subset of the subframes for a frame so as to enable the user equipment to monitor the control channel in only the subset of the subframes for that frame.
