Physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring with overlapping resources

Abstract:

Wireless communications systems and methods related to downlink (DL) control channel communications are provided. A wireless communication device identifies a search space set including a plurality of PDCCH candidate search spaces for a downlink control channel. The wireless communication device determines that a first resource associated with a first PDCCH candidate search space of the plurality of PDCCH candidate search spaces overlaps with a preconfigured resource. The wireless communication device monitors for a downlink control message over the downlink control channel by excluding monitoring in at least the first PDCCH candidate search space based on the determining.
