CA Limit for Different PDCCH Monitoring Capabilities

-14. (canceled)

A wireless device capable of reporting physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring capabilities of the wireless device, wherein the wireless device is capable of operating in communication with two or more serving cells and wherein at least one serving cell of the two or more serving cells is configured for release 16 reporting of monitoring capabilities, the wireless device comprising processing circuitry operable to:

• transmit a first parameter representing a release 16 PDCCH monitoring capability of the wireless device to a network node;
• and
• determine a maximum number of PDCCH candidates and a maximum number of non-overlapped control channel elements (CCEs) based on a maximum number of release 16 capable serving cells, which is determined based on the transmitted first parameter.

A method performed by a network node capable of receiving physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring capabilities of a wireless device, wherein the wireless device is operating in communication with two or more serving cells and wherein at least one serving cell of the two or more serving cells is configured for release 16 reporting of monitoring capabilities, the method comprising:

• receiving a first parameter representing a release 16 PDCCH monitoring capability of the wireless device;
• and
• determining a maximum number of PDCCH candidates and a maximum number of non-overlapped control channel elements (CCEs) based on a maximum number of release 16 capable serving cells), which is determined based on the transmitted first parameter.
