Downlink control for non-coherent joint transmission
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing downlink control for non-coherent joint transmission. A cellular base station may provide downlink control information associated with a non-coherent joint transmission downlink data communication to a wireless device, which may receive the downlink control information. The downlink control information may be provided as a single downlink control information including scheduling information for two data streams of the non-coherent joint transmission data communication, or a portion of a multi-stage downlink control information transmission. The wireless device may receive the non-coherent joint transmission downlink data communication based at least in part on the downlink control information.
