Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to enhance Demodulation Reference Signals (DM-RS) in order to reduce the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) to the same level as for data symbols. To accomplish this function, the UE obtains a first initialization value that is calculated based on one of a first parameter (e.g., cell ID) and a second parameter and a scrambling code ID. The UE then maps the first initialization value to either a first Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) group or a second CDM group based on the scrambling code ID. The mapping associates the first initialization value with the first or second CDM group such that the initialization value is used when generating a demodulation sequence for that CDM group.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for encoding data for wireless communication to achieve a desired amplitude distribution. Some implementations more specifically relate to performing an encoding operation to shape the amplitudes of the resultant symbols such that the amplitudes have a non-uniform distribution.

Additionally or alternatively, some implementations enable the determination of a packet length after performing the amplitude shaping, which enables a transmitting device to determine the number of padding bits to add to the payload and to signal the packet length to a receiving device so that the receiving device may determine the duration of the packet.

Uplink data is encoded for transmission to the parent IAB node based on the first time-domain resources. Downlink data is encoded for transmission to the child IAB node based on the second time-domain resources.
