  • Patent number: 11979181
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting (Tx) device transmits, to a receiving (Rx) device, a control message indicating a location of one or more noise spurs associated with wireless communications performed by the Tx device using a set of resources, where the location includes a frequency location of the one or more noise spurs in the frequency domain. The Tx device then generates a data message to be communicated using the set of resources associated with the one or more noise spurs based on transmitting the control message, and transmits the generated data message to the Rx device using the set of resources associated with the one or more noise spurs. By indicating the location of the noise spurs, the Rx device may be more able to more efficiently identify and address (e.g., filter out, ignore) the noise spurs within the data message.
