Techniques for RMSI PDCCH transmission and monitoring

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparats for remaining minimum system information (RMSI) physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) is provided. During initial access of a cell, the UE determines a default first periodicity to monitor for at least a first PDCCH scheduling RMSI. After the initial access, the UE determines a second periodicity to monitor at least a second PDCCH scheduling RMSI based on the default first periodicity or based on an indication received in a previous RMSI from the cell. The UE monitors for at least the first PDCCH during initial access at the default first periodicity and monitors for at least the second PDCCH at the second periodicity after the initial access.
