Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. More specifically, the methods, systems, and devices support extending capability signaling to support higher modulation order baseband capability, such as higher order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), for example, 1024QAM. By way of example, a user equipment (UE) may transmit UE capability information to a base station (e.g., eNodeB (eNB), next-generation NodeB ((gNB)) in a connection establishment procedure. The UE capability information may include a UE category identifier and a baseband capability parameter. The baseband capability parameter may indicate a scaling factor for a first modulation order of a plurality of available modulation orders. The UE may communicate with the base station over multiple layers using corresponding modulation orders for the multiple layers.
