Search space set hashing under channel estimation capability

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network device such as a next generation (gNB) may identify control information for transmission on a downlink control channel e.g., a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The network device may identify a candidate set of decoding candidates to which the control information is able to be mapped. In some examples, each decoding candidate may include one or more control channel elements (CCEs). The network device may select, from the candidate set of decoding candidates, an actual set of decoding candidates to which the control information is to actually be mapped, and map the control information into the actual set of decoding candidates. Upon decoding the control information, the network device may transmit the control information within a search space including the actual set of decoding candidates to a user equipment (UE).
