Group-based pdcch overbooking and dropping

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to perform a method of wireless communications, comprising:

• determining a total number of slots configured for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring for a slot group is larger than a maximum number of monitored slots for the UE for the slot group;
• and
• in response to the determination that the total number of slots configured for PDCCH monitoring is larger than the maximum number of monitored slots for the UE for the slot group, dropping a first group of search space (SS) sets, wherein the first group of SS sets is selected based on a priority of the first group of SS sets relative to other groups of SS sets.

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

• means for determining a total number of slots configured for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring for a slot group is larger than a maximum number of monitored slots for the apparatus for the slot group;
• and
• means for dropping a first group of search space (SS) sets in response to determining that the total number of slots configured for PDCCH monitoring is larger than the maximum number of monitored slots for the apparatus for the slot group, wherein the first group of SS sets is selected based on a priority of the first group of SS sets relative to other groups of SS sets.
