1. A user equipment device (UE), comprising:
at least one antenna;
at least one radio, wherein the at least one radio is configured to perform cellular communication using at least one radio access technology (RAT); and
one or more processors coupled to the at least one radio, wherein the one or more processors and the at least one radio are configured to perform voice and/or data communications;
wherein the one or more processors are configured to cause the UE to:
transmit, to a network, a UE capability message indicating a number of receiving layers of the UE;
receive, via a first reception path of the UE, a radio resource management (RRM) related signal via a symbol; and
receive, via a second reception path of the UE, a non-RRM related signal via the symbol, wherein the RRM related signal and non-RRM related signal are multiplexed onto the symbol, wherein the non-RRM related signal has a transmission rank based on a rank restriction configured by the network and the number of receiving layers of the UE.
