Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for channel estimation. A method generally includes: sending an indication of a capability of the apparatus to construct, from data-carrying pilots, virtual pilots for performance of channel estimation, receiving an indication of one or more resources scheduled to carry one or more data-carrying pilots, and receiving, on the one or more resources, the one or more data-carrying pilots.

An apparatus configured for wireless communications, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the apparatus to:
- send an indication of a capability of the apparatus to construct, from data-carrying pilots, virtual pilots for performance of channel estimation;
- receive an indication of one or more resources scheduled to carry one or more data-carrying pilots;
- and
- receive, on the one or more resources, the one or more data-carrying pilots.
