- SCS subcarrier spacing
- the network entity configures two PDCCH monitoring occasions in each slot of the first carrier for both cross-carrier scheduling and self-scheduling.
- self-scheduling can be achieved with only one PDCCH monitoring occasion in each slot of the first carrier.
- the UE monitors an excessive quantity of resources, which results in more utilization of network resources, excessive utilization of UE power resources, or excessive utilization of UE processing resources, among other examples.
- a UE may receive search space configurations for a scheduling cell and a scheduled cell that have different (e.g., independent) parameter configurations, such as a different quantity of PDCCH monitoring occasions in each slot.

- a first SCS e.g., a PCell with a 15 kHz SCS
- a second SCS e.g., an SCell with a 30 kHz SCS
- UE 120 monitors two PDCCH occasions for cross-carrier scheduling resources in each slot and only one PDCCH occasion for self-scheduling resources in each slot, thereby reducing a utilization of network resources, UE power resources, or UE processing resources relative to other techniques, as shown in Fig. 4.

- UE 120 may detect DCI for scheduling data on the scheduled cell at a PDCCH candidate for the scheduling cell and/or may detect DCI for scheduling data on the scheduling cell at a PDCCH candidate for the scheduled cell.
- UE 120 may monitor a plurality of search space sets (e.g., a search space set for DCI scheduling a PDSCH and a search space set for DCI scheduling a PUSCH) associated with a plurality of search space configurations. For example, UE 120 may monitor a first search space set with resources for both self-scheduling and cross-carrier scheduling (e.g., with a first search space identifier) and a second search space set with resources only for selfscheduling (e.g., with a second search space identifier). In this case, the first search space set and the second search space set may have different monitoring occasions.
- a first search space set on the PCell may have a periodicity corresponding to an SCS of the SCell
- a second search space set on the PCell (or in some cases, a PSCell) may have a periodicity corresponding to an SCS of the PCell.
- network entity 502 and UE 120 can configure different search space sets to enable UE 120 to receive DCI without using excess resources (e.g., without the second search space occurring twice in each slot).
- a first search space set on the SCell may have a periodicity corresponding to an SCS of the PCell
- a second search space set on the SCell may have a periodicity corresponding to the SCell.
- network entity 502 and UE 120 can configure different search space sets to enable UE 120 to receive DCI without using excess resources (e.g., without the first search space occurring in each slot).
