Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for facilitating decoding a communication received from a wireless terminal. Encoded bits are received from the wireless terminal via a shared uplink channel, and a plurality of acknowledgment tones are identified within the encoded bits. A correlation value is ascertained corresponding to a correlation between detected bits within the plurality of acknowledgment tones and valid bits corresponding to any of a plurality of valid acknowledgment codewords. A determination is then made as to whether the plurality of acknowledgment tones includes information corresponding to a discontinuous transmission by comparing the correlation value to a threshold value.
