Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A request associated with probabilities of respective points of a constellation for communication of a set of data symbols using a channel may be received. The channel may be between a wireless device and a network entity. The probabilities may indicate respective likelihoods of the respective points being used in the communication of the set of data symbols. Signaling may be communicated in accordance with the set of probabilities of the respective points, where the set of probabilities may be adapted to characteristics of radio frequency impairments associated with the channel. The characteristics of the radio frequency impairments may be measured by a wireless device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may transmit, in accordance with proximity-based service (ProSe) discovery with a network entity, a first capability message indicative of a first capability of the first UE to perform ProSe communications. The first UE may transmit a second capability message indicative of a second capability of the first UE to perform joint processing for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, where the joint processing includes assistance by one or more assisting UEs for reception of a message at an assisted UE. The first UE may receive, based on transmission of the first capability message and the second capability message, an indication that the first UE is to perform the joint processing with a second UE. The first UE may perform the joint processing with the second UE in accordance with the indication.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a frequency dependent residual side band (FDRSB) training signal on a first set of subcarriers that are lower than a carrier frequency and on a second set of subcarriers that are higher than the carrier frequency, a mirror of the first set of subcarriers about the carrier frequency being non-overlapping with the second set of subcarriers. The UE may receive an indication of FDRSB correction that is based at least in part on the FDRSB training signal. Numerous other aspects are described.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications using a singular value decomposition (SVD) combiner precoder are described. The described techniques may enable a network entity to determine which streams of a set of multiple data streams to combine in the SVD combiner precoder to increase a lowest signal-to-noise ratio of the set of multiple data streams, and which streams of the multiple streams to leave separate. The network entity may determine a precoding matrix using a square matrix α, which may allow the network entity to dynamically combine (e.g., or not combine) data streams. The network entity may transmit an indication to a UE indicating which streams the network entity will combine and which streams the network entity will not combine. The UE may accordingly demodulate the non-combined streams with a relatively less complex demodulator and may demodulate the combined streams with a relatively more complex demodulator.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support demodulation reference signal sharing across user equipments (UEs) supporting over the air (OTA) digital pre-distortion (DPD). For example, the described techniques provide for demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sharing across UEs supporting OTA DPD. A network entity may share a full DMRS pattern with multiple frequency-division multiplexed (FDMed) UEs. Based on the shared DMRS pattern, the UEs may evaluate the non-linear impairment by estimating non-linearity (NL) compensation function coefficients. Each of the UEs may indicate, to the network entity, their estimated NL compensation function coefficients. The network entity may apply an updated NL compensation function based on the NL compensation function coefficients from the various UEs and transmit a downlink transmission according to the updated NL compensation function.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support signaling of network entities' phase noise inter-carrier interference (ICI) order for reducing user equipment (UE) phase noise cancelation complexity. In a first aspect, a method of wireless communication includes obtaining a power spectral density (PSD) measurement of a phase noise mask of a network entity prior to deployment in the field. The network entity, after deployment, measures an integrated residual PSD measurement per candidate phase noise bandwidth size and transmits these integrated residual PSD measurements to a UE. The UE may then use the integrated residual PSD measurements to estimate phase noise for cancelation from network entity transmissions. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

The UE may then transmit a second measurement report to the network entity that includes a second set of beam measurements which includes measurements for the first serving beam. The network entity and the UE may then communicate via the first serving beam based on the measurements for the first serving beam satisfying a threshold.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network entity may generate a set of beamforming weights for a lens antenna associated with the network entity. Further, the network entity may generate the set of beamforming weights based on a convergence location corresponding to a target coverage area of a cell supported by the network entity. The convergence location may be based on the target coverage area and on one or more parameters of the lens antenna. As such, the network entity may transmit, via a set of antenna elements of the lens antenna, a signal to a user equipment (UE) in accordance with the set of beamforming weights for the lens antenna such that the signal may be spatially distributed within the target coverage area of the cell.

Techniques described herein provide for a user equipment (UE) to determine a channel estimation associated with a downlink channel. In some examples, a network entity may determine a projection matrix and may transmit, to the UE, control signaling indicating the projection matrix. The UE may determine the channel estimation associated with the downlink channel based on the projection matrix. The UE may receive data signaling from the network entity, and the UE may demodulate the data signaling according to the channel estimation that is based at least in part on the projection matrix.

Techniques for downlink channel estimation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication that the UE is to apply a digital-post distortion (DPoD) procedure to a received signal to reduce non-linearities of the received signal. In some examples, the UE may determine one or more autocorrelation values for a power delay profile (PDP) of a channel, receive an indication of a matrix, and identify coefficients (e.g., b-coefficients) for use in the DPoD procedure based on multiplying the autocorrelation values and the matrix. Alternatively, a network entity may determine the autocorrelation values indicate them to the UE for use in identifying the coefficients. In some other cases, the network entity may use the autocorrelation values and the matrix to determine the coefficients and then may indicate the coefficients to the UE. The UE may apply the DPoD procedure to the received signal using the coefficients.
