Abstract

Methods and apparatus are described for processing a signal in a communication system. A signal may be received a user equipment, and a pilot transmission from a non-primary transmit antenna of a cell in the communication system may be detected in the signal based on metrics associated with a pilot channel. Information about the pilot channel is not signaled to the user equipment. The detected pilot transmission is used to improve receiver processing of the signal.
