Abstract: A method of wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) includes transmitting a wakeup message to awaken a base station from a sleep mode. The method also includes communicating with the base station after the base station awakens. A method of wireless communications by a base station includes entering a sleep mode when no user equipments (UEs) are connected to the base station. The method also includes receiving a signal from a UE to awaken from the sleep mode. The method further includes resuming signal transmissions after waking up from the sleep mode.

Abstract: A base station may multiplex a peak suppression information message (PSIM) on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) with data for efficient implementation of PSIMs for peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction. A base station may clip peaks from a signal to be transmitted and capture information of the clipped peaks into a PSIM. The base station may then multiplex the PSIM on the PDSCH such that a receiving device (for example, a user equipment (UE)) may receive the signal and reconstruct the signal (for example, PDSCH data) using the PSIM. According to some aspects, each PDSCH symbol may include a PSIM for a previous PDSCH symbol, or the PSIM may be for the current symbol. Various aspects of the techniques described herein may further provide for PSIM positioning in frequency, PSIM modulation, PSIM channel coding, PSIM multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configurations, among other examples.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A receiving device may receive a channel estimation reference signal (CHEST-RS) transmitted over a bandwidth, the CHEST-RS associated with a power amplifier (PA) configuration of a transmitting device. The receiving device may determine a channel estimation measurement associated with the PA configuration based at least in part on the CHEST-RS. The receiving device may receive a non-linear estimation reference signal (NLEST-RS) transmitted over a subset bandwidth of the bandwidth, the NLEST-RS associated with the PA configuration. The receiving device may determine a non-linear estimation measurement associated with the PA configuration based at least in part on the NLEST-RS and the CHEST-RS, the non-linear estimation measurement identifying a non-linear response of the PA configuration. The receiving device may communicate with the transmitting device based at least in part on the channel estimation measurement and the non-linear response of the PA configuration.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for reducing PAPR in wireless communications. Some implementations more specifically relate to suppressing the amplitudes of a data signal that exceed a threshold amplitude level. The data signal may represent transmit (TX) data associated with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process. In some implementations, a transmitting device may detect one or more peaks associated with the data signal. The transmitting device may reduce the amplitudes of the samples associated with the detected peaks to produce the amplitude-suppressed data signal. The transmitting device may further generate peak suppression information indicating the amplitudes of one or more of the samples associated with the peaks. In response to receiving a NACK message, the transmitting device may transmit, to the receiving device, the peak suppression information, one or more coded bits representing the TX data (associated with the HARQ process), or any combination thereof.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit, to each user equipment (UE) of a set of UEs, a different respective set of one or more training parameters for a digital pre-distortion procedure. Some or all of the UEs may determine one or more respective training values based on the one or more training parameters, where the training values from the UEs support the base station computing a set of non-linearity coefficients for the digital pre-distortion procedure. The base station thus may receive training parameters from some or all of the UEs and determine the set of non-linearity coefficients based thereon. The base station use the non-linearity coefficients to perform the digital pre-distortion procedure for one or more downlink transmissions, to one or more UEs of the group of UEs used for training, or to one or more other UEs.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for reducing PAPR in wireless communications. Some implementations more specifically relate to suppressing the amplitudes of a data signal that exceed a threshold amplitude level. In some implementations, a transmitting device may detect one or more peaks associated with a data signal to be transmitted to a receiving device. A peak may be any sample of a data signal having an amplitude that exceeds a threshold amplitude level. The transmitting device generates peak suppression information indicating the amplitude, a phase and a position of each of the samples associated with the detected peaks. The transmitting device adjusts the data signal by reducing the amplitudes associated with the detected peaks and transmits the adjusted data signal, with the peak suppression information, to the receiving device. In some implementations, the transmitting device may compress the peak suppression information to reduce the overhead of the transmission.

Abstract: Methods related to wireless communication systems and reducing peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) in MU-MIMO transmissions are provided. A base station (BS) generates a plurality of communication signals including data for a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices in a plurality of serving beam subspaces. The BS may also generate a peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) reduction signal for one or more of the plurality of communication signals. A first portion of the PAPR reduction signal is in a first serving beam subspace of the plurality of serving beam subspaces based on a first error vector magnitude (EVM) associated with a first UE of the plurality of UEs. A second portion of the PAPR reduction signal is in a non-serving beam subspace. The BS may also transmit, to the plurality of UEs, the plurality of communication signals and the PAPR reduction signal. Other features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In one example, a receiving device (e.g., a UE) may transmit, to a transmitting device (e.g., a base station), a capability indicator indicating a capability of the receiving device to perform peak reconstruction using soft metrics (e.g., expected value, covariance) on symbol decisions. The receiving device may receive, from the transmitting device and based on the capability indicator, control signaling indicating a clipping level applied to generate a signal and a subset of peaks clipped from the signal. The receiving device may receive the signal generated in accordance with the control signaling from the transmitting device and may decode a reconstructed signal based on performing the peak reconstruction on the signal using the soft metrics on symbol decisions, the clipping level, and the subset of the peaks clipped from the signal.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device may determine a set of power adjustment values for a set of symbols to be used to transmit a data signal in a slot. In some cases, each power adjustment value corresponds to a power adjustment to be applied when transmitting a respective symbol in the slot. The transmitting device may transmit a control signal to a receiving device indicating the set of power adjustment values. The transmitting device may transmit the data signal on the set of symbols in the slot, applying the indicated set of power adjustment values to the set of symbols. The receiving device may decode the data signal based on the indicated set of power adjustments.
