Facilitating dynamic layer mapping with multiple downlink control channels for wireless communication systems

A base station device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• determining, for a selected mobile device, a type of downlink control channel configuration to transmit to the selected mobile device;
• and
• in response to the determining indicating to transmit multiple downlink control channels as the type of downlink control channel configuration, identifying, by the base station device, a layer to couple to the downlink control channel configuration, wherein the determining the type of downlink control channel configuration to transmit comprises:
• determining to transmit the multiple downlink control channels based on a rank being determined not to be lower than a defined value, and
• determining to transmit a single control channel in lieu of transmitting the multiple downlink control channels based on the rank being determined to be lower than the defined value.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a base station cell device, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• determining, for a selected mobile device, a type of downlink control channel configuration to transmit to the selected mobile device;
• and
• in response to determining to transmit multiple downlink control channels as the type of downlink control channel configuration, identifying a layer to couple to the downlink control channel configuration, wherein the determining the type of downlink control channel configuration to transmit comprises:
• determining to transmit the multiple downlink control channels based on a determination indicating that a rank is higher than a defined value, and
• determining to transmit a single control channel in lieu of transmitting the multiple downlink control channels based on the determination indicating that the rank is less than or equal to the defined value.
