Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus and techniques that may be applied in systems that may help enable efficient communication between a base station (BS) and certain devices, such as wearable devices and/or machine type communication (MTC) user equipments (UEs), having a single receiver (RX) for long term evolution (LTE). An exemplary method, performed by a BS, generally includes receiving, from a UE, an indication of a category of the UE, wherein the category of the UE indicates at least one of: a maximum throughput supported by the UE or a number of layers supported by the UE; assuming a number of receivers at the UE based on the category of the UE; determining one or more transmit parameters based on the number of receivers of the UE; and communicating with the UE according to the one or more transmit parameters.
