Refraining from monitoring physical downlink control channel (pdcch) repetition monitoring occasion

An apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• determine that, within a monitoring occasion (MO) duration associated with decoding a number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetitions, the UE should refrain from monitoring at least one MO associated with a first control resource set (CORESET), wherein the MO duration comprises multiple MOs in which the UE is to monitor for repeated PDCCH candidates,
• refrain from monitoring a first subset of MOs in the MO duration, based on the determination, and
• monitor a second subset of MOs within the MO duration;
• and
• a memory.

An apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for determining that, within a monitoring occasion (MO) duration associated with decoding a number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetitions, the UE should refrain from monitoring at least one MO associated with a first control resource set (CORESET), wherein the MO duration comprises multiple MOs in which the UE is to monitor for repeated PDCCH candidates;
• means for refraining from monitoring a first subset of MOs in the MO duration, based on the determination;
• and
• means for monitoring a second subset of MOs within the MO duration.

A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, performs an operation for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) comprising:

• determining that, within a monitoring occasion (MO) duration associated with decoding a number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetitions, the UE should refrain from monitoring at least one MO associated with a first control resource set (CORESET), wherein the MO duration comprises multiple MOs in which the UE is to monitor for repeated PDCCH candidates;
• refraining from monitoring a first subset of MOs in the MO duration, based on the determination;
• and
• monitoring a second subset of MOs within the MO duration.
