A method for determining a signal propagation time mismatch in a modulator comprises generating a predetermined signal shape of a amplitude component of a radio frequency signal generating one or more predetermined conditions in a frequency component of the radio frequency signal at a first time interval relative to the predetermined signal shape and detecting the one or more predetermined conditions in the frequency component at a second time interval. The method further includes determining the amplitude component at the second time interval and calculating a signal propagation time mismatch value based on the signal shape of the amplitude component, on the first time interval and the second time interval.

A system enabling signal penetration into a building comprising first circuitry, located on an exterior of the building, for transmitting and receiving signals at a first frequency that experience losses when penetrating into an interior of the building, converting the received signals at the first frequency into a first format that overcome losses caused by penetrating into the interior of the building over a wireless communications link and converting received signals in the first format into the signals in the first frequency.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications systems may utilize beamforming techniques to process wireless communications transmitted in millimeter wave (mmW) frequency ranges. In such cases, a user equipment (UE) may perform lattice reduction (LR)-based preprocessing for a received resource element (RE), which allows the UE to utilize demapping techniques (e.g., minimum mean square error (MMSE)-based demapping techniques or successive interference cancellation (SIC) demapping techniques) that are less computationally-complex than conventional demapping techniques (e.g., maximum likelihood (ML)-based demapping techniques) while providing a similar performance as conventional techniques. Further, due to mmW systems' robustness to time-dispersion, the UE may apply the same LR to multiple REs across multiple symbols in the time domain and across multiple sub-carriers in the frequency domain. The computational cost of performing the LR calculation may be spread across multiple REs and further increase the efficiency of utilizing low-complexity demapping techniques.
