Search space activation for channel monitoring

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment may be configured to monitor a first set of decoding candidates within a first search space for receiving a physical downlink control channel message. A base station may identify downlink data for the user equipment and may transmit a signal to the user equipment. The user equipment may receive the signal within the first search space. In some cases, the signal may include a command for activating a second search space. The user equipment may monitor a second set of decoding candidates within the second search space based on receiving the signal. The user equipment communicate, with the base station, based on monitoring the first set of decoding candidates within the first search space and the second set of decoding candidates within the second search space.
