1. A method for wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a network node, a message indicating a set of multi-slot monitoring configurations supported by the network node, each multi-slot monitoring configuration of the set of multi-slot monitoring configurations having an associated monitoring occasion periodicity associated with a search space that is greater than or equal to one slot;
transmitting, to the network node, an indication of a single multi-slot monitoring configuration from the set of multi-slot monitoring configurations; and
monitoring the search space for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission in a plurality of non-consecutive monitoring occasion groups, each monitoring occasion group of the plurality of non-consecutive monitoring occasion groups comprising a plurality of non-consecutive monitoring occasions in a plurality of consecutive slots associated with the single multi-slot monitoring configuration, each slot of the plurality of consecutive slots comprising one or more monitoring occasions of the plurality of non-consecutive monitoring occasions, wherein the PDCCH transmission is repeated in each slot of the plurality of consecutive slots.
