Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus where a user equipment (UE) may indicate different physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring capabilities (such as UE capabilities in terms of the number of control channel elements (CCEs), blind decodes (BDs), number of downlink control information (DCI) formats, etc.) per monitoring span or slot. For example, a UE may support a different number of CCEs per slot or a different number of DCIs per monitoring span for different service types (such as a different number of CCEs for enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and for ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC)). A UE may indicate different sets of PDCCH monitoring capabilities (such as sets of PDCCH monitoring capabilities for different service types, monitoring spans, slots, etc.). A base station may receive the indication of UE PDCCH monitoring capability information and may configure the UE with one or more monitoring occasions accordingly.
