1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving a configuration for monitoring one or more physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) for downlink control information (DCI) that is capable of utilizing multi-carrier scheduling to schedule physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) communications on each carrier included in a set of carriers and for DCI that schedules physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) communications, the configuration indicating a first carrier indicator field (CIF) value corresponding to a first carrier included in the set of carriers, a second CIF value corresponding to a second carrier included in the set of carriers, and a third CIF value corresponding to the first carrier and the second carrier;
monitoring a PDCCH associated with the first carrier for DCI that schedules PDSCH communications on each carrier included in the set of carriers; and
receiving DCI that schedules a PUSCH communication based at least in part on the monitoring.
