1. A receiver for a wireless communication system, the receiver comprising:
one or more antennas, and
a signal processor,
wherein the receiver is configured to receive, using the one or more antennas, and process, using the signal processor, a data signal, the data signal comprising at least one data signal block, the data signal block comprising a number of symbols in the time domain and a number of sub-carriers in the frequency domain,
wherein the data signal block comprises a control region to provide control data to the receiver and a payload region to provide payload data to the receiver,
wherein payload data is allocated to the control region of the data signal block,
wherein the control data is provided in a downlink control information, DCI, message associated with the payload data,
wherein the payload data is not part of the DCI message but is located at different parts of the control region and is processed differently than the control data by using beamforming,
wherein the DCI message indicates the one or more parts of the control region to which the payload data is allocated,
wherein the DCI message includes first information informing the receiver how data allocated to the payload region is to be processed, and second information informing the receiver how the data at the different parts of the control region is to be processed, and
wherein the second information includes information about a transmission scheme and/or a coding scheme and/or a modulation scheme used for forwarding the payload data to the receiver.
