Monitoring for transmissions on a physical downlink control channel (pdcch) in a wireless network

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a transceiver;
• the processor and the transceiver configured to receive configuration information configuring a set of normal physical downlink control channel (nPDCCH) candidates;
• the processor and the transceiver configured to receive a first transmission including first downlink control information (DCI), the first DCI including a first monitoring indicator having a first value;
• the processor and the transceiver configured to, based on the first monitoring indicator, skip monitoring of the set of nPDCCH candidates during a first time window;
• the processor and the transceiver configured to receive a second transmission including second DCI, the second DCI including a second monitoring indicator having a second value;
• the processor and the transceiver configured to, based on the second monitoring indicator, monitor the set of nPDCCH candidates during a second time window;
• and
• the processor and the transceiver configured to decode a third transmission detected in the monitored set of nPDCCH candidates to receive third DCI, wherein the third DCI includes information indicating at least one of a downlink grant or an uplink grant.
