1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) comprising:
receiving monitoring configuration information, wherein the monitoring configuration information specifying PDCCH search space monitoring to be performed specifies PDCCH monitoring for one subcarrier spacing (SCS) selected from a group of different subcarrier spacings (SCSs) that are related to a spectrum in 5G new radio (NR) above 52.6 GHz, wherein monitoring limits associated with each of the SCSs above 120 kHz, including a number of blind decodes (BD) and a number of CCEs per component carrier (CC), are applied per slot per CC, the monitoring limits are scaled versions of each other and increase based on reduction in symbol size, and a monitoring limit is a per-CC limit on a maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs per monitoring span; and
monitoring each search space according to the monitoring configuration information.
