Pdcch monitoring adaptation and pdcch repetition

An apparatus for wireless communications at a network entity, comprising:

• a memory comprising computer-executable instructions;
• and one or more processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the network entity to:
• transmit signaling configuring a user equipment (UE) for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition based on a set of paired PDCCH monitoring occasions (MOs);
• transmit signaling configuring the UE for search space (SS) set group (SSSG) switching;
• and
• process PDCCH transmissions in accordance with one or more rules that account for the PDCCH repetition and SSSG switching.

A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving signaling configuring the UE for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition based on a set of paired PDCCH monitoring occasions (MOs);
• receiving signaling configuring the UE for search space (SS) set group (SSSG) switching physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition based on a set of paired PDCCH MOs;
• and
• monitoring for PDCCHs based on one or more rules that account for the PDCCH repetition and SSSG switching.
