Signaling of capability information by user equipment

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

• receiving a request for UE capability information from a network;
• and
• transmitting, in response to the request, UE capability information indicating a first set of value pairs associated with monitoring occasions for a control channel of at least one first component carrier (CC) and a second set of value pairs associated with monitoring occasions for a control channel of at least one second CC, each of the first and second sets of value pairs including a first value corresponding to a minimum time separation between consecutive spans for monitoring occasions and a second value corresponding to a span length for monitoring occasions, wherein the UE capability information further indicates, for each of the second set of values pairs, a respective subset of the first set of values pairs that is supported.

An apparatus for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for receiving a request for UE capability information from a network;
• and
• means for transmitting, in response to the request, UE capability information indicating a first set of value pairs associated with monitoring occasions for a control channel of at least one first component carrier (CC) and a second set of value pairs associated with monitoring occasions for a control channel of at least one second CC, each of the first and second sets of value pairs including a first value corresponding to a minimum time separation between consecutive spans for monitoring occasions and a second value corresponding to a span length for monitoring occasions, wherein the UE capability information further indicates a respective set of bands in a band combination that corresponds to each of the first set of value pairs and the second set of value pairs.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), the code when executed by a processor causes the processor to:

• receive a request for UE capability information from a network;
• and
• transmit, in response to the request, UE capability information indicating a first set of value pairs associated with monitoring occasions for a control channel of at least one first component carrier (CC) and a second set of value pairs associated with monitoring occasions for a control channel of at least one second CC, each of the first and second sets of value pairs including a first value corresponding to a minimum time separation between consecutive spans for monitoring occasions and a second value corresponding to a span length for monitoring occasions, wherein the UE capability information further indicates, for each of the second set of values pairs, a respective subset of the first set of values pairs that is supported.
