Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for reducing physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) decoding complexity at a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network. The method can include receiving from a base station a candidate demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence that is carried in a subframe and associated with a PDCCH carried in the subframe, calculating a correlation-based quality metric indicating a correlation between the received candidate DMRS sequence and a local DMRS sequence, and performing a PDCCH decoding process to decode the PDCCH when the quality metric is greater than a threshold.
