CORESET AND SEARCH SPACE SET DORMANCY INDICATION VIA DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a base station may indicate a dormancy status, such as dormant or non-dormant, for each of one or more control channel resources configured for a user equipment (UE) via a dormancy indication in downlink control information (DCI). The dormancy indication may include a set of bits, each bit indicating a dormancy status for a control channel resource or a group of control channel resources. The UE, based on determining the value of each bit of the set of bits, may determine the dormancy status of each of the one or more control channel resources and may monitor the control channel resources accordingly. For example, the UE may monitor control channel resources having a dormancy status of non-dormant and may refrain from monitoring control channel resources having a dormancy status of dormant.
