Claim 11:
12. The method of claim 1, wherein the monitoring further comprises:
performing energy detection within the resource allocation to detect a respective location of a data or control resource element in each resource element block of the plurality of resource element blocks within the resource allocation;
estimating a number of one or more transmit antennas utilized by the transmitter to transmit the index modulated downlink transmission within the plurality of resource element blocks;
identifying a number of transmitted bits for the index modulated downlink transmission within the resource allocation based at least in part on the estimated number of one or more transmit antennas; and
decoding the index modulated downlink transmission from the plurality of resource element blocks to receive information from the transmitter, wherein the decoding is based at least in part on the identified number of transmitted bits within the resource allocation and detected respective locations of data or control resource elements in the plurality of resource element blocks within the resource allocation.
