1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
a processor;
memory coupled with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
receive a downlink message that indicates a control channel monitoring periodicity and a control channel offset, wherein the control channel monitoring periodicity indicates a quantity of slots located between one or more control channel candidates of a set of slots for monitoring by the UE; and
receive downlink control information for the UE based at least in part on a first control channel candidate within a search space of the set of slots and a control channel element (CCE) index for a first CCE of a set of CCEs within the search space, wherein the set of slots and the CCE index are based at least in part on the control channel monitoring periodicity and the control channel offset, and wherein the first control channel candidate for a first slot is based at least in part on a second slot, wherein the first slot and the second slot are configured for control channel monitoring, and wherein one or more slots occur between the first slot and the second slot based at least in part on the control channel monitoring periodicity.
