Techniques for configuring control resources using piggyback downlink control information

A scheduling entity, comprising:

• a communication interface configured to communicate with a user equipment (UE);
• a memory;
• and
• a processor operatively coupled with the communication interface and the memory,
• wherein the processor and the memory are configured to:
• configure a first control resource set (CORESET) and a second CORESET for wireless communication with the UE;
• and
• transmit, to the UE using the communication interface, a piggyback downlink control information (DCI) in a downlink data channel using downlink data channel resources that are temporally configured between the first CORESET and the second CORESET, for altering one or more third CORESETs temporally configured between the first CORESET and the second CORESET.

A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from a scheduling entity, control information for configuring a first control resource set (CORESET) and a second CORESET;
• and
• receiving, from the scheduling entity, a piggyback downlink control information (DCI) in a downlink data channel using downlink data channel resources temporally configured between the first CORESET and the second CORESET,
• wherein the piggyback DCI is configured to alter one or more third CORESETs temporally configured between the first CORESET and the second CORESET.
