1. A method of controlling blind decoding attempts by a User Equipment (UE) in a telecommunication network, the method comprising:
configuring, by a Base Station (BS), a first Search Space (SS) configuration to the UE;
configuring, by the BS, a second SS configuration, wherein the second configuration is one of:
a subset of Aggregation Levels (ALs) to be monitored based on channel quality of the UE and Downlink Control Information (DCI) payload and an associated time period, and
one or more values of multiplication factor (k) associated with one or more of the ALs and an associated time period,
signaling by the BS, at least one of the first SS configuration and second SS configuration to the UE;
iteratively monitoring, by the UE, DCI on the ALs signalled by the BS;
performing, by the UE, one of blind decoding using received second SS configuration when the new second SS configuration is received before the timer expiry and the blind decoding by one of utilizing a default second SS configuration, adopting the existing second SS configuration, requesting the BS for a new second SS configuration and utilizing the first SS configuration when the new second SS configuration is not received by the UE before the timer expires.
