1. A first user equipment (UE), comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the first UE to:
receive a first downlink control channel on resources of a control resource set in time domain resources, wherein the first downlink control channel schedules a downlink shared channel in the time domain resources that overlaps with the resources of the control resource set in the time domain resources, and wherein the control resource set includes a plurality of locations for a plurality of different downlink control channels;
determine, based on a first location of the first downlink control channel within the plurality of locations of the control resource set, a subset of resources within the control resource set around which downlink shared channel rate matching is to be performed, wherein the subset of resources includes resources for the first downlink control channel and at least a second downlink control channel for at least a second UE that is different than the first UE, and wherein a second location of the second downlink control channel within the plurality of locations of the control resource set is based on the first location of the first downlink control channel within the plurality of locations of the control resource set; and
process the downlink shared channel based on the downlink shared channel rate matching.
 
16. A network entity for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the network entity to:
determine a first subset of resources of a control resource set for a first downlink control channel of a first user equipment (UE) and a second subset of resources of the control resource set for a second downlink control channel of a second UE, wherein the first downlink control channel schedules a first downlink shared channel in time domain resources that overlap with the control resource set, and wherein the control resource set includes a plurality of locations associated with different subsets of resources for a plurality of different downlink control channels, and a first location of the first subset of resources within the plurality of locations of the control resource set indicates a second location of the second subset of resources within the plurality of locations of the control resource set;
rate-match the first downlink shared channel around the first subset of resources and the second subset of resources; and
transmit the first downlink control channel to the first UE, the second downlink control channel to the second UE, and the first downlink shared channel to the first UE, and wherein wireless resources for the first downlink shared channel are based on the rate-match of the first downlink shared channel around the first subset of resources and the second subset of resources.
