US 2015/0319021 A1 · TECHNIQUES FOR IMPROVING CONTROL CHANNEL CAPACITY

Abstract

Aspects described herein relate to modulating control data in wireless communications. First control data for a first device can be modulated in an enhancement layer of a control data resource based at least in part on whether the control data resource includes second control data for a second device, and transmitted over the control data resource. A signal can be received from an access point comprising at least one control data resource. One of a plurality of modulation schemes utilized to modulate the at least one control data resource and an associated layer can be determined. The signal can be demodulated according to the one of the plurality of modulation schemes and the layer to obtain control data in the at least one control data resource.
