1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a user equipment (UE) in a cellular communications network, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling message from a base station;
accessing, by the UE, a search space in the RRC signaling message;
identifying, by the UE, a fallback Downlink Control Information (DCI) information element (IE) included in the search space;
determining, by the UE, whether an aggregation factor is indicated in the fallback DCI IE for shared channel communications with the base station, over multiple slots in the communications channel;
determining, by the UE, an uplink/downlink (UL/DL) configuration for transmission on the communications channel; and
determining, by the UE, an aggregated transmission over multiple slots in the communications channel based on the aggregation factor and the uplink/downlink configuration.
