  • Publication number: 20220052895
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to techniques for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction based on a tone reservation (TR) algorithm. For a TR algorithm, a suitable subset of tones from among a full set of tones in a given resource allocation are reserved for use as peak reduction tones (PRT). An apparatus such as a transmission/reception point receives a set of one or more PRT sequences and stores them in memory. The transmission/reception point then determines a set of PRTs based on one or more later-received PRT sequence selection parameters. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

  • Publication number: 20220039093
    Abstract: Aspects relate using peak reduction tones on a supplementary uplink to reduce peak to average power ratio on the supplementary uplink. For example, when a UE elects to switch from a primary carrier (e.g., a 5G NR carrier) to an SUL carrier (e.g., in a limited coverage scenario), the UE may use a defined set of PRTs to transmit data on the SUL carrier. In some examples, PRTs may be used on multiple carriers. For example, a first set of PRTs may be defined for an SUL carrier and a second set of PRTs may be defined for another carrier.

  • Patent number: 11239966
    Abstract: Wireless communications devices and methods are adapted to facilitate DMRS sequence grouping. In one example, information is obtained for a transmission scheduled with pi/2 BPSK modulation, the transmission including two or more symbols scheduled for a DMRS (DMRS symbols). Respective DMRS sequences may be identified for each of the DMRS symbols, where each DMRS sequence subsequent to another DMRS sequence is dependent on its immediately preceding DMRS sequence, and the transmission may be sent with the identified DMRS sequences in the two or more DMRS symbols. In one example, a first transmission may be sent to schedule a second transmission from another device with pi/2 BPSK modulation, where the second transmission includes two or more DMRS symbols. The scheduled second transmission may be received with at least one DMRS symbol including a DMRS sequence based on its immediately preceding DMRS sequence. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

  • Publication number: 20220021484
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first network device (e.g., a base station) may determine, based on one or more transmissions received over a channel and a channel condition of the channel, a configuration for repeating a sequence from multiple sequences over a resource allocation. A second network device (e.g., a UE) may transmit one or more transmissions over a channel to the first network device. The first network device may transmit, to the second network device, an indication of the configuration for repeating the sequence over the resource allocation. The second network device may transmit a first instance of the sequence and a second instance of the sequence based on the configuration. The first network device may perform error correction on the data based on the received first instance of the sequence and the received second instance of the sequence.

  • Publication number: 20220014409
    Abstract: Peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction with respect to signals of component carriers of a carrier aggregation configuration may be provided using preconfigured or fixed PRT location sequences (e.g., fixing the number and location of PRTs). A device transmitting signals of component carriers of a carrier aggregation configuration may perform PRT magnitude and phase optimization processing with respect to PRTs of a PRT location sequence using techniques, such as may use a signal to clipping noise ratio, tone reservation (SCR-TR) algorithm. Various PRT location sequence configurations, such as PRT sideband location sequence configurations, PRT inband location sequence configurations, etc., may be selected to facilitate reduction of PAPR associated with the data tones of one or more carrier aggregation component carriers, such as to satisfy a PAPR threshold. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
