1. A method for a user device of a wireless network, the method comprising:
a) transmitting, to a base station of the wireless network, a request message requesting that a leading demarcation and a trailing demarcation be concatenated with downlink messages to the user device, and that downlink control information (DCI) messages not be transmitted to the user device;
b) receiving data on a downlink channel;
c) detecting, according to the data, the leading demarcation and the trailing demarcation;
d) determining that data received between the leading and trailing demarcations comprise a downlink message; and
e) demodulating the downlink message;
f) wherein the leading demarcation comprises a demodulation reference of a first type, and the trailing demarcation comprises a demodulation reference of a second type, different from the first type.
