Abstract

Various solutions for downlink control information (DCI) size alignment with respect to user equipment and network apparatus in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may receive a configuration configuring a plurality of DCI formats. The apparatus may determine whether a number of DCI sizes of the DCI formats is greater than a DCI size budget. The apparatus may determine DCI sizes to monitor within the DCI size budget according to a DCI size alignment rule in an event that the number of DCI sizes is greater than the DCI size budget. The apparatus may monitor the DCI formats according to the determined DCI sizes.
