CONTROL RESOURCE SET DESIGN FOR BANDWIDTH REDUCED LOW-TIER USER EQUIPMENT

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A bandwidth reduced low-tier user equipment (UE) may receive a signal identifying a control resource set for the UE to monitor for control information scheduling communications between the UE and a base station, the control resource set comprising a plurality of control channel elements organized across more than three symbols and comprising one or more first resource element groups mapped to a first monitoring occasion and one or more second resource element groups mapped to a second monitoring occasion. The UE may receive, during the first monitoring occasion, at least a first portion of the control information on the one or more first resource element groups. The UE may receive, during the second monitoring occasion, at least a second portion of the control information on the one or more second resource element groups. The UE may communicate with the base station in accordance with the control information.
