Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for ‘partial’ time division multiplexing (TDM) operation are provided. One example of a method includes transmitting, by a base station, an Enhanced Absolute Grant Channel (E-AGCH) message to one or more user equipment. The E-AGCH message may comprise an indication of one of a first type grant or a second type grant indicating whether a grant is susceptible to grant detection. The first type of grant is considered susceptible to grant detection, and the second type of grant is considered not susceptible to grant detection.
