Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a technique for multiplexing downlink control information (DCI) signals for multiple user equipments (UEs) at an aggregation level (AL) by coding the DCI signals together in a control channel and transmitting the control channel. In an exemplary method, a BS multiplexes a first plurality of downlink control information (DCI) signals for a first plurality of user equipments (UEs) at a first aggregation level (AL) coded together in a first control channel and transmits the control channel.
