1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a device to:
determine a plurality of search spaces within a repetition unit are associated with a search space group (SSG);
determine, based on the SSG, physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmissions in the plurality of search spaces are repetitions; and
decode one or more of the PDCCH transmissions in the plurality of search spaces based on determination the PDCCH transmissions are repetitions.
