REFERENCE SIGNAL DESIGN FOR CHANNEL ESTIMATION AND POWER AMPLIFIER MODELING

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform both a channel estimation and a non-linearity estimation (e.g., a power amplifier (PA) model estimation) on a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) transmitted by a base station. For example, the DMRS may include two portions that correspond to two peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) values. Low PAPR values may enable the UE to perform the channel estimation, and high PAPR values may enable the UE to perform the PA non-linearity estimation. Accordingly, a first portion of the DMRS may correspond to a lower PAPR value, and the second portion of the DMRS may correspond to a higher PAPR value. In some examples, the base station may signal different parameters for each portion of the DMRS to the UE, or the UE may use fixed values to receive each portion of the DMRS.

Processing of communications signals using machine learning

One or more processors control processing of radio frequency (RF) signals using a machine-learning network. The one or more processors receive as input, to a radio communications apparatus, a first representation of an RF signal, which is processed using one or more radio stages, providing a second representation of the RF signal. Observations about, and metrics of, the second representation of the RF signal are obtained. Past observations and metrics are accessed from storage. Using the observations, metrics and past observations and metrics, parameters of a machine-learning network, which implements policies to process RF signals, are adjusted by controlling the radio stages. In response to the adjustments, actions performed by one or more controllers of the radio stages are updated. A representation of a subsequent input RF signal is processed using the radio stages that are controlled based on actions including the updated one or more actions.

Method to estimate multi-periodic signals and detect their features in interference

Techniques, systems, architectures, and methods for providing improved feature detection of signals, especially those in relatively high interference regions, thereby allowing for earlier and longer range detection of communications and radar signals are herein provided. The techniques utilize a general framework of total variation denoising, where signals are assumed to be sparse in a combination of their first or higher order derivatives, to increase signal-to-interference ratio, which is followed by cyclostationarity detection, which is used to estimate signal features, including the period of the signals of interest and their modulation type.
