An apparatus may be a wireless device such as a user equipment (UE) configured to receive, from a wireless device associated with the UE, a first indication of a capability to perform an equalization operation and transmit, to the wireless device, a second indication of an allocation of resources associated with a pre-equalized demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the equalization operation, wherein the allocation of resources is for less than all slots within a set of slots associated with a same pre-equalization.
