The first and second circuitry include a plurality of first and second data lanes, respectively that are mapped each other. The external device and the first circuitry are configured with a specific data pattern. A data transfer test is performed such that the specific data pattern is transferred from the external device to the first circuitry via the second data lanes. The data transfer test is performed iteratively by adjusting timing parameters for the second data lanes in the second circuitry in a pre-configured range while setting a timing parameter for a target second data lane in the second circuitry to an invalid value. Data lane mapping for the target second data lane between the first circuitry and the second circuitry is determined based on the data transfer test result.

Abstract: Aspects are provided for generation and transmission of MDMRS which allow matching of nonlinear model impact or properties between DMRS and data in DFT-s-OFDM waveforms as well as CP-OFDM waveforms. A UE transmits, to a network entity, an MDMRS generated from a DMRS. The MDMRS has a PAPR distribution matching a PAPR distribution of a signal including data in an uplink channel. A target PAPR of the MDMRS is based on a modulation scheme of the data. The UE also transmits the data in the uplink channel, where the uplink channel includes a PUCCH or a PUSCH. As a result of the ability of MDMRS to match the nonlinear impact of DMRS and PUSCH or PUCCH, the network entity may compensate for any EVM that may occur as a result of PAPR reduction by a nonlinear operator of the UE, and communication performance may thereby be improved.
