Downlink control information size configuration for multiple carrier scheduling scenarios

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

• determining, for a plurality of carriers in a cross-carrier scheduling scenario, whether a quantity of downlink control information (DCI) sizes for a set of DCIs, that the UE monitors, satisfies a threshold,
• wherein the threshold is a per scheduling cell per scheduled cell threshold or a per scheduled cell threshold;
• selectively performing a DCI size alignment procedure to adjust a DCI size configuration based at least in part on whether the quantity of DCI sizes satisfies the threshold;
• and
• monitoring for the set of DCIs based at least in part on the DCI size configuration.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
• determine, for a plurality of carriers in a cross-carrier scheduling scenario, whether a quantity of downlink control information (DCI) sizes for a set of DCIs, that the UE monitors, satisfies a threshold,
• wherein the threshold is a per scheduling cell per scheduled cell threshold or a per scheduled cell threshold;
• selectively perform a DCI size alignment procedure to adjust a DCI size configuration based at least in part on whether the quantity of DCI sizes satisfies the threshold;
• and
• monitor for the set of DCIs based at least in part on the DCI size configuration.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for determining, for a plurality of carriers in a cross-carrier scheduling scenario, whether a quantity of downlink control information (DCI) sizes for a set of DCIs, that the apparatus monitors, satisfies a threshold,
• wherein the threshold is a per scheduling cell per scheduled cell threshold or a per scheduled cell threshold;
• means for selectively performing a DCI size alignment procedure to adjust a DCI size configuration based at least in part on whether the quantity of DCI sizes satisfies the threshold;
• and
• means for monitoring for the set of DCIs based at least in part on the DCI size configuration.
