PDCCH INTERLEAVING ENHANCEMENT FOR MONITORING AGGREGATION

Abstract:

A user equipment (UE) and base station may be configured to implement interleaving enhancement during an aggregated monitoring occasion. In some aspects, the UE may receive control resource set and search space configuration information including enhanced-coverage PDCCH procedure information identifying an aggregated monitoring occasion of a grouping of PDCCH monitoring occasions having repetition of a same PDCCH, and interleaving enhancement information indicating different interleaving parameter configurations for at least two PDCCH monitoring occasions in the grouping of PDCCH monitoring occasions in the aggregated monitoring occasion. Further, the UE may decode signals received on resources for the at least two PDCCH monitoring occasions based on the different interleaving parameter configurations for the at least two PDCCH monitoring occasion in the grouping of PDCCH monitoring occasions in the aggregated monitoring occasion.
