Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit an indication of a capability of the UE to receive downlink transmissions over a plurality of component carriers with a first quantity of antennas. The UE may receive, in accordance with the indication of the capability of the UE, the downlink transmissions with at least a subset of the first quantity of antennas and over at least a subset of the plurality of component carriers.
