1. A method implemented by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
receiving configuration information indicating a plurality of search spaces, the configuration information indicating a respective number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates associated with each respective search space of the plurality of search spaces, wherein the configuration information indicates that a first search space of the plurality of search spaces is associated with a set of PDCCH candidates;
determining a maximum number of PDCCH candidates to monitor in a slot;
determining to monitor a subset of the set PDCCH candidates using the first search space in the slot based on:
a total number of configured PDCCH candidates associated with search spaces that the WTRU is configured to use for PDCCH monitoring in the slot exceeding the maximum number of PDCCH candidates to monitor in the slot; and
the first search space corresponding to a first type of search space; and
monitoring for at least one PDCCH transmission in the slot using at least the subset of PDCCH candidates associated with the first search space.
