Search Space number of candidates in hPDCCH0Configuration

The function hPDCCH0Configuration indicates that the number of candidates per aggregation level is the following:

NumCandidates =[0 0 8 4 1]; % TS 38.213 Table 10.1-1

I have tried to look at different release (R15 and R16) but I can not find where the number of candidates is as described in hPDCCH0Configuration.

Is the code wrong or am I looking at the wrong version of the spec?

Looking at TS 38.213 Table 10.1-1 it looks like the number should be:

NumCandidates =[0 0 4 2 1]; % TS 38.213 Table 10.1-1

Hi Jason,

You are right. The number of candidates is [0 0 4 2 1] according to TS 38.213 Table 10.1. This should not affect the ability of the receiver to decode a SIB1 waveform, but it has been fixed in the latest release R2021b.
