Abstract:
A method, a computer program product, and an apparatus are provided. The methods and apparatus for wireless communication include receiving a transmission, the transmission including a plurality of resource element groups (REGs). Aspects of the methods and apparatus include selecting a set of REGs from the plurality of REGs, the set of REGs including at least one REG and determining a traffic to pilot ratio (TPR) for the set of REGs based on the transmission and reference signals in the transmission. Aspects of the methods and apparatus include determining whether the set of REGs includes at least one of control information or data based on the TPR and canceling at least one of control information or data from the set of REGs based on the TPR.
