PDCCH COVERAGE ENHANCEMENT

Abstract

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described herein for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) coverage enhancement for reduced capability wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs). Overbooking rules may be applied, for example, to limit the number of blind decodes, e.g., if/when PDCCH is repeated. A coverage enhancement (CE) level may be determined for a beam. Link recovery may be performed with CE levels. A PDCCH monitoring configuration may include repetitions. The number of blind decodes with repetitions may be limited. A WTRU may report an indication of a best repetition. A WTRU may be configured to perform a measurement associated with a PDCCH repetition, e.g., if/when a PDCCH subject to PDCCH repetition is successfully decoded.
