The present disclosure relates to downlink control information (DCI) enhancements for non-orthogonal multiple access. For example, the disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for wireless communications that may include determining, at the base station, downlink control information (DCI) for a first user equipment (UE), wherein the DCI for the first UE comprises modulation order information, spatial layer information, and power ratio information of the first UE, and a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) and spatial layer information of a second UE; and transmitting the determined DCI to the first UE.
