Abstract
Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer programs for search space configuration for multi-slot physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring. In one aspect, a method can include actions of obtaining, by a base station, data indicating capabilities of user equipment (UE), wherein the obtained data includes at least data indicating sub-carrier spacing used by the UE, determining, by the base station and based on the obtained data indicating capabilities of the UE, (i) a periodicity selection parameter that indicates a subset of slot periodicities that the UE is to monitor for PDCCH and (ii) one or more other search space configuration parameters. generating, by the base station, a UE configuration command for configuring the search space that includes at least the determined periodicity selection parameter, encoding, by the base station, the generated UE configuration command for transmission to the UE, and transmitting, by the base station, the encoded command to the UE.
