Abstract
This disclosure relates to techniques for improving capability signaling and performing search space set switching, particularly with large sub-carrier spacings, as in high frequency ranges. In various scenarios, a user equipment (UE) device may signal its capability to perform multi-slot PDCCH monitoring and/or single-slot PDCCH monitoring, e.g., at various sub-carrier spacings, for various PDCCH/DCI types, etc. Various technical difficulties in this area are addressed, including increasing flexibility and versatility in capability signaling, overbooking, signaling and timing of search space set switching, and beam sweeping transmission of DCI Format 2_0, among others.
