1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
a memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
transmit, to a network entity, a successive interference cancellation (SIC) capability indication comprising an indication that the UE supports a SIC operation and an order of processing a first codeword and a second codeword;
monitor for an acknowledgement (ACK) to enable the SIC operation between the UE and the network entity; and
receive downlink communication based on the SIC operation in response to receiving the ACK to enable the SIC operation, wherein to receive the downlink communication based on the SIC operation, the at least one processor is further configured to:
process the first codeword, within the downlink communication, transmitted based on a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS); and
cancel interference from the downlink communication based on the first codeword to obtain the second codeword, within the downlink communication, transmitted based on a second MCS.
