MACHINE LEARNING BASED UPLINK COVERAGE ENHANCEMENT USING PEAK REDUCTION TONES

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for generating and decoding orthogonal frequency division (OFDM) waveforms with peak reduction tones (PRTs) designed to reduce PAPR. By generating PRT tones with a machine learning (e.g., neural network) based encoder and mapping some of the PRT tones to subcarriers used for physical channels or signals, PAPR may be reduced while efficiently using system resources.
