Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for allocating a resource budget for blinding decoding among various types of DCI. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes allocating a resource budget per a span of symbols among a first type of downlink control information (DCI) and a second type of DCI, wherein the resource budget includes a number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) blind decodes (BDs) and a number of control channel elements (CCEs) supported by the UE; and monitoring, from a network entity, PDCCH candidates in accordance with the allocated resource budget.
