Abstract
A small cell station communicates with user equipment utilizing a reduced overhead demodulation reference signal (DMRS) pattern when good channel conditions are detected. An indicator field is used to identify whether a reduced overhead DMRS pattern is being transmitted. If appropriate, the reduced overhead DMRS pattern is generated and transmitted by the small cell station and received and used by the user equipment as indicated by the indicator field.
