Abstract
A wireless device is configured with or allocated two or more control resource sets for receiving downlink control information from a base station or cell. The two or more control resource sets correspond to two or more possible states of a time slot used for downlink transmission. The wireless device determines the state of a time slot and selects one or the two or more control channel resource sets to monitor for DCI depending on the state of the time slot. In one exemplary embodiment, the time slot has two possible states and the state of the time slot is determined by the presence or absence of an SS block.
