Methods and devices for wireless communication and computer-readable immutable media.

Abstract

The invention relates to methods, systems and devices for wireless communication. A user equipment (UE) can receive, from a base station, configuration messages including one or more parameters relating to the UE's attempts at decoding the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates based on iteration, which the UE can determine, from the configuration message, The brute-force decoding activity mode indicates the number of decoding attempts by PDCCII candidates based on iterations. The UE can monitor one or more iterations of downlink control information by attempting to brute-force decode one or more iterations of a PDCCH candidate based on the maximum number of brute-force decoding attempts and the brute-force decoding activity count mode.
