Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communications. A wireless communication device may switch between a distributed and a clustered transmission scheme for control information transmissions. In some cases, the base station may indicate to a UE that a clustered control information transmission scheme will be used and may also indicate a monitoring pattern informing the UE how to identify its own control information in a control information set. For instance, a base station may indicate to the UE that a preferred beam of the UE is correlated with a symbol position of the UE's control information in the control information set. In some cases, the base station may indicate to a UE that a distributed control information transmission scheme will be used.
