METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR FACILITATING UPLINK MULTIPLE INPUT MULTIPLE OUTPUT SIGNALING

摘要

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for detecting multiple input multiple output communications. A method and apparatus may enable transmission of a first control signal to a communication device. The first control signal may indicate at least one number of data streams that the communication device is allowed to utilize to transmit data. The method and apparatus may perform detection of discontinuous transmission on one or more control channels indicated by the first control signal. The method and apparatus may determine whether the communication device currently communicates on the control channels in response to performing the detection of the discontinuous transmission.
