Patent attributes
Disclosed are various techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion defined by an active search space (SS) set. The UE may receive, during the PDCCH monitoring occasion, a downlink control information (DCI). In response, the UE may activate at least one deactivated SS set based on the DCI and a mapping that associates an SS set to a DCI type, DCI format, transmission direction, or specific combinations thereof. In another aspect, a UE may monitor a subset less than all of PDCCH monitoring occasions defined by an active SS set. The UE may receive, during a PDCCH monitoring occasion, a DCI. In response, the UE may monitor a larger number of PDCCH monitoring occasions defined by the active SS set.
