Facilitating incremental downlink control information design to support downlink control information scheduling

A method, comprising:

• determining, by a base station device comprising a processor, a first number of scheduling grants for uplink data transmission by a mobile device to the base station device;
• facilitating transmitting, by the base station device, first downlink control information associated with a first search space and comprising a first size, of a downlink control channel;
• and
• facilitating transmitting, by the base station device, second downlink control information associated with a second search space, comprising a second size, of the downlink control channel, wherein the second size is less than the first size, and wherein the second downlink control information comprises incremental downlink control information, the incremental downlink control information being information that excludes the first downlink control information.

A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• determining a first number of scheduling grants for uplink data transmission by a mobile device to a base station device;
• transmitting first downlink control information associated with a first search space of a downlink control channel, the first search space comprising a first size;
• and
• transmitting second downlink control information associated with a second search space of the downlink control channel, the second search space comprising a second size, wherein the second size is less than the first size, and wherein the second downlink control information comprises incremental downlink control information.
