1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

  • receiving, at a user equipment (UE), a downlink grant for two or more transmission time intervals, wherein the downlink grant indicates that reference signals transmitted in the two or more transmission time intervals are combinable with each other, wherein the reference signals are transmitted using resources associated with a group identification or a UE identification;

    receiving, at the UE, a first transmission during a first transmission time interval and a second transmission during a second transmission time interval, wherein the second transmission time interval follows the first transmission time interval;

    determining that a first reference signal received during the first transmission time interval and a second reference signal received during the second transmission time interval can be combined based at least in part on the downlink grant;

    combining, at the UE, the first reference signal from the first transmission time interval and the second reference signal from the second transmission time interval included in the transmissions in accordance with the determining; and

    decoding, based at least in part on the combination of the first reference signal and the second reference signal, data from the first transmission time interval, data from the second transmission time interval, or a combination thereof.
