Systems and Methods for Base station configuration of PDCCH Monitoring in a wireless device

A network equipment comprising one or more processors configured to perform the operations comprising:

• processing monitoring configuration information received from a network node, wherein the monitoring configuration information specifying PDCCH search space monitoring to be performed specifies PDCCH monitoring for one subcarrier spacing (SCS) selected from a group of different subcarrier spacings (SCSs) that are related to a spectrum in 5G new radio (NR) above 52.6 GHz, wherein monitoring limits associated with each of the SCSs, including a number of blind decodes (BD) and a number of CCEs per component carrier (CC), are applied per slot per CC;
• and
• monitoring each search space according to the monitoring configuration information.

A method for use in a network equipment operating in a 5G new radio in unlicensed spectrum (NR-U) environment comprising:

• determining a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) search space monitoring configuration for a wireless device, wherein the PDCCH search space monitoring configuration specifies PDCCH monitoring for one subcarrier spacing (SCS) selected from a group of subcarrier spacings (SCSs) that are related to a spectrum in 5G new radio (NR) above 52.6 GHz, wherein monitoring limits are associated with each of the SCSs including a number of blind decodes (BD) and a number of CCEs per component carrier (CC) for a slot group of a plurality of slots and the monitoring limits are for application over a duration of the slot group;
• and
• transmitting monitoring configuration information identifying the monitoring configuration to the wireless device.
