Systems and methods for shaped single carrier orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with low peak to average power ratio. The system receives an input signal and modulates the input signal to form Dirichlet kernels in a time domain to generate an offset Dirichlet kernel output time array where each Dirichlet kernel has a main lobe and a plurality of side lobes. The system modulates the input signal by receiving the input signal by an N-point time input array and transforming the N-point time input array to the frequency domain by a discrete Fourier transform to generate an N-point input frequency array. The system replicates the N-point input frequency array to generate an M-point input frequency array where M is greater than N and utilizes a filter to generate a shaped M-point output filtered frequency array by multiplying the M-point input frequency array and the filter. The system transforms the shaped M-point output filtered frequency array by an inverse discrete Fourier transform to generate an M-point offset Dirichlet kernel output time array. The system generates a cyclic prefix time array by replicating duration points of an end of the M-point offset Dirichlet kernel output time array, and appends the cyclic prefix time array to a beginning of the M-point offset Dirichlet kernel output time array to generate an M-point and duration point output time array.

A method and apparatus for allowing a UE to transmit uplink signals using a MIMO scheme are disclosed. In order to maintain good Peak power to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) or Cubic Metric (CM) properties when the UE transmits uplink signals using the MIMO scheme, the UE uses a precoding scheme based on a precoding matrix established in a manner that one layer is transmitted to each antenna in specific rank transmission.

Wireless communications systems and methods related to cross Component Carrier (CC) transmission are provided that assist in minimizing PAPR. A first wireless communications device repeats data across multiple CCs in order to increase coverage while maintaining power levels within approved limits. In order to reduce PAPR, a number of different methods and mechanisms may be used. Rate matching may be performed across the multiple CCs as though a single virtual BWP. Alternatively, each copy of the data on its separate CC may be modified differently in some way, such as by using different scrambling IDs or different redundancy versions. Additionally, when utilizing DFT-s-OFDM modulation, an alternative method is provided which may lower PAPR. The DFT method includes performing a DFT on the combined data, tone mapping to each of the carriers, and performing an IFFT for each carrier individually. Each IFFT may be different than the other.

A new layer tailored for Artificial Intelligence-based communication systems to limit the instantaneous peak power for the signals that relies on manipulation of complementary sequences through neural networks. Disclosed is a method for providing non-linear distortion in end-to-end learning communication systems, the communication system comprising a transmitter and a receiver. The method includes mapping transmitted information bits to an input of a first neural network; controlling, by an output of the neural network, parameters of a complementary sequence (CS) encoder, producing an encoded CS; transmitting the encoded CS through an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal; processing, by Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), the encoded CS, to produce a received information signal in a frequency domain; and processing, by a second neural network, the received information signal.

This disclosure provides a transmission method and a first communication device. The method includes: transmitting, by a first communication device, a target reference signal that belongs to a first type of reference signal in a case that the first communication device receives indication information from a second communication device and the indication information indicates transmission of the first type of reference signal, where a reference signal sequence of the first type of reference signal is generated based on a first characteristic.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In one example, a transmitting device may identify first and second portions of data to include in a data transmission. The transmitting device may encode the second portion by a configuration of a first subset of resource elements. The transmitting device may transmit, via the data transmission, first signals representative of the first portion over the first subset and one or more second signals over a second subset of resource elements. A receiving device may receive the data transmission and may identify that the one or more second signals include content other than data of the data transmission. The receiving device may decode the first signals in order to identify the first portion and the configuration in order to identify the second portion. The receiving device may refrain from decoding the one or more second signals based on the identifying.

A reference signaling scheme is provided that is based on the use of a Zadoff Chu sequence with cyclic repetition, optionally code division multiplexing precoding, together with frequency domain spectral shaping (FDSS). A specific pulse shape design for the FDSS part of the reference signal scheme in some embodiments involves the use of a raised cosine pulse raised to the power of β. The new solution for generating reference signals has a Low peak average power ratio that matches the PAPR of SC-OQAM, good channel estimation performance, and the ability to implement CDM in the frequency domain to increase multiplexing gain.

A transmitting device communicates with a receiving device an indication to apply PAPR reduction for a data transmission. The transmitting device applies a first PAPR reduction signal and a second PAPR reduction signal to the data transmission to reduce at least one signal peak of the data transmission to yield a transmission signal, where the first PAPR reduction signal includes a first set of PRTs that does not overlap with data tones and the second PAPR reduction includes a second set of PRTs that overlaps with the data tones and does not overlap with reserved tones. The transmitting device transmits the transmission signal to the receiving device.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a receiving user equipment (UE) may receive, from a transmitting UE, a sidelink reference signal in a first symbol of a slot. The receiving UE may perform a joint channel estimation and an automatic gain control (AGC) based at least in part on the sidelink reference signal received in the first symbol of the slot. Numerous other aspects are described.

According to one general aspect, an apparatus may include a pre-transmission circuit configured to encode a data signal for communication. The apparatus may include a peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) controlling circuit configured to set a power level for a level-adjusted data signal. In some embodiments, the PAPR circuit may be configured to set the power level by employing a multi-loop, multi-phase technique, wherein an inner loop employs multiple phases to constrain the PAPR and reduce at least one power-related error condition, and wherein an outer loop updates the power level. The apparatus may include a transmitter circuit configured to transmit the level-adjusted data signal.
