Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a transmitting device (e.g., a base station) may utilize machine learning to modify a signal as conditions of a channel change to reduce a peak to average power (PAPR). For example, a base station may select a type of machine learning. The base station may receive one or more feedback messages related to a condition of a channel and modify a downlink signal based on the selected type of machine learning and the one or more feedback messages. In some cases, the base station may transmit the modified downlink signal to a user equipment (UE) along with information indicating the modified downlink signal and the UE may reconstruct the downlink signal based on the information.

Techniques for machine learning based peak to average power ratio reduction

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some systems may support digital post-distortion (DPoD) processing at a base station. In some such systems, a user equipment (UE) may process a data message for transmission, where a resulting signal associated with the data message includes non-linear characteristics that are handled by DPoD on the receiver-side. The non-linear characteristics may cause the signal to leak into out-of-band (OOB) resources, potentially resulting in interference. In some examples, the UE may transmit the data message to the base station in a multi-user system. To support mitigation of non-linear interference on signaling by other UEs, the UE may additionally transmit pilot signals in OOB resources (e.g., in addition to in-band resources) where the non-linearity may be expected to negatively affect other communications. The base station may use the OOB pilot signals to perform channel estimation and interference mitigation.

Pilot signaling supporting digital post-distortion (DPOD) techniques

A communications device inputs channel state information to an artificial neural network. The communications device predicts weather conditions with the artificial neural network based on the channel state information. The communications device further adjusts communications based on the predicted weather conditions.

Radio (NR) adaptation of cellular network configuration in response to machine learning based weather prediction

A base station transmits a first transmission using a first directional beam and determines an equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) relationship between the first transmission and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) for a user equipment (UE). The base station transmits, to the UE, an indication of the EIRP relationship between the first transmission and the PDSCH. Then, the base station transmits the PDSCH to the UE using the second directional beam. The UE uses the indication of the EIRP relationship to receive the PDSCH from the base station over the second directional beam.

Beam gain signaling

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a base station receives one or more signals indicative of a downlink compensation capability (e.g., an in-band capability to compensate for non-linear distortion, or an out-of-band capability to compensate for other FDM'd signal(s) to other UE(s), etc.) of at least one UE. The base station determines a set of downlink transmission requirements based on the downlink compensation capability of the at least one UE, and transmits data to the at least one UE in accordance with the set of downlink transmission requirements.

Downlink transmission requirement based on downlink compensation capability of a user equipment

Methods related to wireless communication systems and selecting groups of user equipment (UE) devices to multiplex for multi-user multiple input and multiple output (MU-MIMO) communications are presented. A base station transmits a channel state report configuration indicating a set of one or more interference measurement resources and precoding information associated with the set of one or more interference measurement resources to a first UE of a plurality of UEs. The BS receives, from the first UE, a channel state report including interference prediction information based on the set of one or more interference measurement resources and the precoding information. The BS uses the channel state report to determine a group configuration for the plurality of UEs. Other features are also claimed and described.

Multiple channel state feedback reports for MU-MIMO scheduling assistance

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.

Radio base station sleep mode-beacon and wakeup

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station (BS) may determine a first planned transmit beam configuration of the first BS. The BS may obtain a second planned transmit beam configuration of a second BS. The BS may determine that a first planned transmit beam of the first planned transmit beam configuration will interfere with a second planned transmit beam of the second planned transmit beam configuration. The BS may modify the first planned transmit beam, the second planned transmit beam, or both, based on the interference determination.

Interference management techniques

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device may reduce a channel overhead of a peak suppression information message (PSIM) by reducing amplitude signaling of clipped peaks of a data signal. To avoid including amplitude information for each clipped peak of a time-domain data signal in a PSIM, the transmitting device may subtract a constant amplitude offset from each peak above a clipping threshold in the time-domain data signal. The transmitting device may indicate the amplitude offset in the PSIM, and a receiving device may reconstruct the data message based on the amplitude offset. In some examples, the transmitting device may indicate a peak to average power ratio (PAPR) in the PSIM, such as a PAPR of a maximum peak in the data signal. Based on the indicated PAPR, the receiving device may perform a calculation to determine the amplitude offset for reconstructing the data message.

Reducing amplitude signaling overhead in peak suppression information

In embodiments of systems and methods for protecting wireless communications a base station and the wireless device, a base station receive from a wireless device channel feedback from a wireless device regarding a communication beam between the base station and the wireless device, generate a barrage signal precoder based on the received channel feedback regarding the communication beam, and transmit a barrage signal using the barrage signal precoder on a second beam that is different from the communication beam.

Barrage signal for protecting wireless communications

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.

Peak suppression information multiplexing on downlink shared channel

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may communicate, with a second wireless device, a first set of messages of a first message type that are acknowledged according to an acknowledgement procedure. The first wireless device, the second wireless device, or both may select a first subset of messages of the first plurality of messages and a first subset of bits from each message of the first subset of messages based on the first set of messages being acknowledged and according to a sampling configuration common to both the first wireless device and the second wireless device. The first wireless device, the second wireless device, or both may generate a key using bit values of the first subset of bits from each message of the first subset of messages, encoding a message using the key, and communicate the encoded message.

Method for physical layer secured message scrambling

A synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted by a neighbor base station may interfere with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmitted by a serving base station. A user equipment (UE) that receives both the SSB and PDSCH may mitigate the interference to improve an error rate of decoding the PDSCH. The UE may receive a first SSB including a first broadcast channel (BCH) from a second base station other than a serving base station. The UE may decode the first SSB. The UE may determine, based on the first SSB and the first BCH, that the PDSCH scheduled by the serving base station will overlap with a second SSB from the second base station. The UE may estimate a channel of the second SSB based on the decoded first SSB. The UE may remove a reconstructed second SSB from the PDSCH. The UE may decode the PDSCH.

SSB channel cancelation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device (e.g., a user equipment (UE) or base station) may reduce a peak to average power ratio (PAPR) by clipping signals transmitted to a receiving device according to a clipping level. The receiving device may receive, from the transmitting device, an indication of the clipping level associated with a reference signal. The receiving device may receive the reference signal and identify distortions based on the clipping level. The receiving device may iteratively reconstruct peaks of the clipped reference signal until the receiving device is able to obtain accurate pilot symbols for use in channel estimation. The techniques described herein may enable receiving devices to improve efficiency and reliability of communications by improving channel estimation, which may increase the probability of successfully decoding transmitted information.

Iterative reference signal symbol reconstruction and channel estimation

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.
