Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for configuring a search space to the WD based on a Control Channel Element (CCE) limit of the WD. According to one or more embodiments, a network node configured to communicate with a wireless device is provided. The network node includes processing circuitry configured to receive a Control Channel Element, CCE, limit of the wireless device and configure a search space for the wireless device to monitor based at least in part on the CCE limit of the wireless device.

Claims (31)

1. A network node configured to communicate with a wireless device, the network node comprising processing circuitry configured to:

receive a Control Channel Element, CCE, limit of the wireless device; and

configure a search space for the wireless device to monitor based at least in part on the CCE limit of the wireless device.

2. The network node of claim 1 , wherein the CCE limit of the wireless device corresponds to a processing capability limit of the wireless device and is related to a limit of a number of CCEs that the wireless device can process in a slot.

3. The network node of claim 1 , wherein the search space corresponds to a subset of a control resource set, CORESET.

4. The network node of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

determine that processing of a first CORESET and a second CORESET by the wireless device would exceed the CCE limit; and

drop the second CORESET from wireless device monitoring based at least in part on the determination that CCE limit would be exceeded.

5. A method implemented in a network node, the method comprising:

receiving a Control Channel Element, CCE, limit of a wireless device; and

configuring a search space for the wireless device to monitor based at least in part on the CCE limit of the wireless device.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the CCE limit of the wireless device corresponds to a processing capability limit of the wireless device and is related to a limit of a number of CCEs that the wireless device can process in a slot.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the search space corresponds to a subset of a control resource set, CORESET.

8. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

determining that processing of a first CORESET and a second CORESET by the wireless device would exceed the CCE limit; and

dropping the second CORESET from wireless device monitoring based at least in part on the determination that CCE limit would be exceeded.

9. A wireless device configured to communicate with a network node, the wireless device comprising processing circuitry configured to monitor a search space for at least one Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH, candidate, the search space being based at least in part on a control channel element, CCE, limit of the wireless device.

10. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the CCE limit is based at least in part on a CCE processing capability of the wireless device.

11. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to communicate the CCE limit of the wireless device.

12. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the search space corresponds to a subset of a control resource set, CORESET.

13. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the monitoring of the search space includes blind decoding at least one CCE for downlink control information, DCI associated with the wireless device.

14. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the search space includes both a common search space and a wireless device specific search space within a first control resource set, CORESET; and

a second CORESET being dropped from monitoring by the wireless device based at least in part on the CCE limit.

15. A method implemented in a wireless device, the method comprising monitoring a search space for at least one Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH, candidate, the search space being based at least in part on a Control Channel Element, CCE, limit of the wireless device.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the CCE limit is based at least in part on a CCE processing capability of the wireless device.

17. The method of claim 15 , further comprising communicating the CCE limit of the wireless device.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the CCE limit is based at least in part on a CCE processing capability of the wireless device.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the search space corresponds to a subset of a control resource set, CORESET.

20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the monitoring of the search space includes blind decoding at least one CCE for downlink control information, DCI associated with the wireless device.

21. The method of claim 15 , wherein the search space includes both a common search space and a wireless device specific search space within a first control resource set, CORESET; and

a second CORESET being dropped from monitoring by the wireless device based at least in part on the CCE limit.
