1. A method, comprising:
determining, by a network, an (X, Y) pair that is satisfied by both a first set of monitoring occasions of a first search space configuration for a first component carrier and a second set of monitoring occasions of a second search space configuration for a second component carrier;
determining a union of the first set of monitoring occasions and the second set of monitoring occasions;
determining a span pattern based on the union;
determining whether the (X, Y) pair is satisfied by the span pattern; and
(i) implementing a first control channel elements (CCE) limit if the (X, Y) pair is satisfied by the span pattern; or
(ii) implementing a second CCE limit different from the first CCE limit if the (X, Y) pair is not satisfied by the span pattern.
