This section contains the following configuration parameters specific to the PDCCH portion of the downlink signal.

If the Number of Tx Antennas is greater than 1, the PDCCH is configured and applied on all the antenna streams.

Slot Allocation: Configures the slots that will contain a PDCCH for this configuration. The format is defined in the Range Format Specifiers section.

CCE Offset: Sets the CCE offset within the CORESET for PDCCH. Valid ranges depend on the RB Allocation in the CORESET Configuration and the CCE Aggregation Level.

CCE Aggregation Level: Sets the CCE aggregation level of the PDCCH. Valid values are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.

RNTI: Sets the RNTI number. Valid values are 0 to 65535, inclusive.

Search Space Type: If you set this value to UE Specific, PDCCH is mapped according to the UE specific search space type. If you set this value to Common, PDCCH is mapped according to the common search space type.

Data Source: Specifies the configuration of the payload data in the PUSCH channel. Refer to Selecting the Data Source topic for more information on data source.

PDCCH Power: Specifies the factor by which the PDCCH REs are scaled. This value is expressed in dB.

PDCCH DMRS Power: Specifies the factor by which the PDCCH DMRS REs are scaled. This value is expressed in dB.

Channel Coding: Specifies whether channel coding is enabled.

Payload size: Specifies the total number of information bits in DCI format. Valid values are from 12 to 140. If the number of information bits in a DCI format is less than 12 bits, zeros shall be appended to the DCI format by user until the payload size equals 12.
