Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a configuration for a time domain (TD) control channel element (CCE) bundle that includes at least one TD CCE for single carrier waveforms, wherein a phase continuity is assumed for a duration of the TD CCE bundle. The UE may perform a channel estimation using the TD CCE bundle based at least in part on the phase continuity for the duration of the TD CCE bundle. Numerous other aspects are described.
