Pdcch monitoring adaptation for operation in full-duplex systems

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a transceiver operably coupled to the processor, the transceiver configured to:
• receive a first set of parameters for reception of first physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) associated with a first subset of slots from a set of slots on a cell;
• receive a second set of parameters for reception of second PDCCHs associated with a second subset of slots from the set of slots on the cell;
• receive a first PDCCH from the first PDCCHs that provides a downlink control information (DCI) format, wherein the DCI format includes a field indicating skipping receptions of the second PDCCHs;
• and
• skip, based on the field, receptions of the second PDCCHs in a slot from the second subset of slots at a first occasion that is after reception of the first PDCCH and before an end of a time duration,
• wherein the first subset of slots does not include time-domain resources indicated for simultaneous transmission and reception on the cell, and
• wherein the second subset of slots includes time-domain resources indicated for simultaneous transmission and reception on the cell.

A base station (BS), comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a transceiver operably coupled to the processor, the transceiver configured to:
• transmit a first set of parameters for reception of first physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) associated with a first subset of slots from a set of slots on a cell;
• transmit a second set of parameters for reception of second PDCCHs associated with a second subset of slots from the set of slots on the cell;
• transmit a first PDCCH from the first PDCCHs that provides a downlink control information (DCI) format;
• and
• transmit the second PDCCHs in a slot from the second subset of slots at a first occasion, receptions of which is skipped, that is after transmission of the first PDCCH and before an end of the time duration;
• wherein the first subset of slots does not include time-domain resources indicated for simultaneous transmission and reception on the cell, and
• wherein the second subset of slots includes time-domain resources indicated for simultaneous transmission and reception on the cell.
