1. A method for wireless communications, comprising:
configuring a wireless device to access a wireless network using a set of components carriers (CCs);
dividing the set of component carriers into groups of component carriers based on whether the component carriers share a span pattern and a starting span for monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of each component carrier;
determining a number of non-overlapping control channel elements (CCE) to monitor for each group of component carriers; and
configuring the wireless device to monitor the non-overlapping CCEs based on the determined number to monitor for each group.
