1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
identifying, by a wireless communication device, a search space set including a plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate search spaces for a downlink control channel;
receiving, by the wireless communication device, a first configuration indicating a first preconfigured resource allocated for a transmission of a synchronization signal block (SSB) wherein the first configuration is received via a radio resource control (RRC) message;
receiving, by the wireless communication device, a second configuration indicating a second preconfigured resource allocated for a transmission of at least one of a broadcast communication signal, a reference signal, or a downlink data channel signal;
determining, by the wireless communication device, that a first resource associated with a first PDCCH candidate search space of the plurality of PDCCH candidate search spaces overlaps with the first preconfigured resource indicated by the RRC message and allocated for a transmission of the SSB;
determining, by the wireless communication device, that a second resource associated with a second PDCCH candidate search space of the plurality of PDCCH candidate search spaces overlaps with the second preconfigured resource; and
monitoring, by the wireless communication device, for a downlink control message over the downlink control channel by:
excluding monitoring of at least the entire first PDCCH candidate search space based on the first configuration, and
excluding monitoring of the second PDCCH candidate search space based on the second configuration.
