Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide improved techniques for monitoring a downlink control channel. For example, a method includes switching, at a first time period, to monitoring a downlink control channel according to a second group of search space sets in an unlicensed spectrum. The method further includes switching, after the first time period, to monitoring the downlink control channel according to a first group of search space sets in the unlicensed spectrum based on at least one of: i) expiration of a timer started based on the switching to monitoring the downlink control channel according to the second group of search space sets; or (ii) end of a channel occupancy time (COT), of a serving cell, during which the UE monitors the downlink control channel according to the second group of search space sets.
