Configuration of common search spaces in a downlink bandwidth part

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may obtain access to a base station by performing an initial access procedure within an initial access bandwidth. In some cases, the UE may monitor for a cell specific configuration in the initial access bandwidth that indicate one or more first common search spaces within the initial access bandwidth that the UE may monitor for control information. Additionally, the UE may receive dedicated signaling after the initial access procedure that indicates a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) and one or more second common search spaces within the downlink BWP to monitor for control information. Accordingly, the UE may monitor the first common search spaces, the second common search spaces, or both based on the dedicated signaling.
