Location based coreset configuration for transmitting the physical downlink control channel in 5G wireless communication systems

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by network node equipment operatively coupled to a processor, capability information from a device indicating aggregation levels supported by the device for potential application by the device to decode candidate downlink control channels associated with control channel resource sets configured for the device;
• selecting, by the network node equipment, one aggregation level of the aggregation levels per control channel resource set of the control channel resource sets for application by the device to decode the candidate downlink control channels, comprising selecting the one aggregation level per control channel resource set based on an average channel quality index reported by the device;
• and
• transmitting, by the network node equipment, aggregation level information to the device indicating the one aggregation level per control channel resource set, wherein the sending facilitates a configuration of the device by applying the one aggregation level per control channel resource set to the configuration in association with the device attempting to decode the candidate downlink control channels.

A first device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• sending capability information to a second device indicating aggregation levels supported by the first device for potential application by the first device to decode candidate downlink control channels associated with control channel resource sets configured for the first device:
• receiving aggregation level information from the second device indicating one aggregation level of the aggregations per control channel resource set of the control channel resource for usage by the first device to decode the candidate downlink control channels, wherein the one aggregation level was selected by the second device based on an average signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio for uplink channel estimates reported by the first device to the second device;
• and
• based on the receiving, employing the one aggregation level per control channel resource set in association with attempting to decode candidate downlink control channels.
