  The stringent requirements of ultra-reliable low-latency communications
(URLLC) require rethinking of the physical layer transmission techniques.
Massive antenna arrays are seen as an enabler of the emerging $5^\text{th}$
generation systems, due to increases in spectral efficiency and degrees of
freedom for transmissions, which can greatly improve reliability under
demanding latency requirements. Massive array coherent processing relies on
accurate channel state information (CSI) in order to achieve high reliability.
In this paper, we investigate the impact of imperfect CSI in a single-input
multiple-output (SIMO) system on the coherent receiver. An amplitude-phase
keying (APK) symbol constellation is proposed, where each two symmetric symbols
reside on distinct power levels. The symbols are demodulated using a dual-stage
non-coherent and coherent detection strategy, in order to improve symbol
reliability. By means of analysis and simulation, we find an adequate scaling
of the constellation and show that for high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and
inaccurate CSI regime, the proposed scheme enhances receiver performance.
