Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a network entity, a first signal including a request to update a resolution of a phase shifting operation associated with beam-based communications. The UE may receive, from the network entity, a second signal approving the request. The UE may communicate using a beam according to an updated resolution of the phase shifting operation based on the second signal approving the request. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may transmit a first signal including a request to suspend a beam refinement process based on the resolution of the phase shifting operation. The UE may receive a second signal approving the request to suspend the beam refinement process. The UE may communicate with the network entity using a beam based on suspending further beam refinement in response to the second signal.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications systems may support adaptation of digital pre-distortion (DPD) coefficients based on a temperature of a user equipment (UE). The UE may determine a power offset value based on a first temperature value associated with a training procedure for the UE, a second temperature value associated with the UE, and a constant value. The training procedure may be associated with multiple sets of coefficients for the UE. The UE may apply the power offset value to a transmission power level for transmission of a message. The UE may determine a set of coefficients of the multiple sets of coefficients based on the training procedure and the power offset value applied to the transmission power level. The UE may apply the coefficients to a DPD engine of the UE to generate the message for transmission at the transmission power level.

A plurality of such peak detectors may be integrated with a corresponding plurality of power amplifiers in a transmitter. Should any peak detector assert an alarm signal or more than a threshold number of alarm signals during a given period, a controller reduces a gain for the plurality of power amplifiers.
