Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a user equipment (UE) that comprises a processor that operates a monitoring function that involves monitoring of a downlink control channel of an unlicensed radio cell based on one of a plurality of groups of search space sets (SSS). The unlicensed radio cell operates in an unlicensed spectrum and is controlled by a base station that is in communication with the user equipment. Further, one of the plurality of groups of SSSs is configured to be a default group of SSSs. The processor determines one group of the plurality of SSS groups for performing the monitoring function, depending on the downlink control channel. The monitoring function is not performed during a non-monitoring time period. The processor determines to perform the monitoring function based on the default group of SSSs, when performing the monitoring function subsequent to the non-monitoring time period.
