Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may determine that a threshold is satisfied with regard to a search space set mapping, for a plurality of search space sets, for a slot of a downlink control channel, wherein the threshold relates to at least one of: a slot-based control channel element limit, or a slot-based blind decode limit; and perform a mapping of or monitor a subset of search space set occasions, of a search space set of the plurality of search space sets, in the slot in connection with determining that the threshold is satisfied. Numerous other aspects are provided.
