Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for managing or monitoring of the control channel in new radio (NR) through blind searches are provided. One method may include configuring, by a network node, multiple search spaces, sets of search spaces, and/or control resource sets, to a user equipment, that results in monitoring occasions where more blind decodings are required than allowed by capability of the user equipment. The method may further include identifying the monitoring occasions for which an allowed number of blind decodings is exceeded, determining a reduced set of blind decodings and/or candidates determined by predefined search space priorities or rules, and transmitting physical downlink control channel(s) to the user equipment given the reduced set.
