Multi-stage signal reconstruction

Aspects relate to reconstructing a received non-linearly distorted (e.g., clipped) signal. A transmitting device may non-linearly distort a signal to be transmitted (e.g., by clipping peaks of the signal). This non-linear distortion may adversely affect decoding of the signal at a receiving device. To improve decoding performance at the receiving device, the transmitting device provides information regarding some of the non-linear distortion (e.g., information regarding a subset of the peaks that have been clipped) to the receiving device. The receiving device may reconstruct the signal based on this information (e.g., by reconstructing the subset of the peaks and adding the reconstructed peaks to the received clipped signal). In addition, the receiving device estimates the remaining non-linear distortion in the reconstructed signal (e.g., due to clipped peaks that were not indicated in the clipping information) by slicing the reconstructed signal and clipping the sliced signal, and provides a final reconstructed signal.
