1. A method implemented in a user equipment, UE, comprising:
in a first time interval, attempting to decode one or more control channels on downlink resources of a first subband configuration; and
in a second time interval, attempting to decode one or more control channels on downlink resources of a second subband configuration, in response to determining that a timer configured for switching search space has expired based on an explicit indication for switching a search space, wherein the explicit indication comprises reception of a downlink assignment corresponding to the second subband configuration,
wherein the first subband configuration spans a first frequency range and the second subband configuration spans a second frequency range different from the first frequency range.
