PDCCH MONITORING ADAPTATION FOR OPERATION IN FULL-DUPLEX SYSTEMS

Methods and apparatuses for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring adaptation. A method for a user equipment (UE) includes receiving first and second sets of parameters for reception of first and second PDCCHs associated with first and second subsets of slots, respectively, on a cell and receiving a first PDCCH from the first PDCCHs that provides a downlink control information (DCI) format. The DCI format indicates skipping receptions of the second PDCCHs for a time duration. The method further includes skipping, based on the field, receptions of the second PDCCHs at a first occasion that is after reception of the first PDCCH and before an end of the time duration. The second subset of slots includes resources indicated for simultaneous transmission and reception and the first subset of slots does not.
