A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (EU), comprising:
- scheduling, according to a scheduling entity, to receive first data in a control portion, the control portion comprising a number of symbols in a slot, the control portion comprising a frequency band utilized for control information;
- scheduling to receive second data in a second portion of the slot, the second portion of the slot being outside of the number of symbols, the first data and the second data received on a second frequency band;
- transmit an acknowledgement to acknowledge both the first data and the second data.
A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (EU), comprising:
- receiving signaling specifying a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) signal in a control portion is to be used to demodulate data within a second portion of the slot,
- the control portion comprising a number of symbols in a slot, the control portion comprising a frequency band utilized for control information, the second portion being outside of the number of symbols of the slot;
- receiving the data in the second portion of the slot;
- receiving the DMRS in the control portion for demodulating the data;
- and
- demodulate the data using the DMRS.
