Returning to the case of performing rate matching on control resource sets that partially overlap in both time and frequency resources, resource block 440-b depicts an effective region of control resource set 405-b and a non-effective region 420, as a result of UE 215 performing frequency first mapping. In this case, UE 215 may perform rate matching around all resource elements with partial overlap. UE 215 may perform blind decoding of control information assuming all control information transmissions in the control resource set 405-b rate match around resources sharing the same frequency domain resources with the overlapping portion in the control resource set 405-b. In contrast, resource block 440-c depicts an effective region of control resource set 405-c and a non-effective region 425, as a result of UE 215 performing time first mapping. In this case, UE 215 may perform rate matching around overlapping resource element groups only. UE 215 may perform blind decoding of control information assuming all control information transmissions in the control resource set 405-c rate match around resources that overlap with the control resource set 410-a.
