Systems and methods for providing physical downlink control channel (pdcch) performance feedback

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• detect that (i) one or more first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmissions are missing at the UE, and/or (ii) one or more second PDCCH transmissions are successfully decoded at the UE,
• the one or more first and/or second PDCCH transmissions transmitted to the UE by a base station (BS) of a wireless communications network to which the UE is connected;
• and
• a transceiver coupled with the processor, the transceiver configured to:
• communicate, to the BS, an indicator of PDCCH decoding performance based on a number of the first one or more PDCCH transmissions and/or a number of the second one or more PDCCH transmissions.

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

• receiving, from a base station (BS) of a wireless communication network to which the UE is connected, a reference signal;
• determining a channel quality indicator of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission from the BS to the UE based on the received reference signal;
• and
• communicating, to the BS, the channel quality indicator.
