Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A receiving device and a transmitting device may utilize index modulation for full-duplex operations. The transmitting device, such as a base station or a user equipment (UE), may define blocks of resource elements (REs) for transmissions.

In some examples, a receiving device may estimate the phase noise error for each transmission layer using one or more PTRS transmissions or using signaling from each transmission layer.
