Patent 10951296 was granted and assigned to Qualcomm on March, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A direction-controlled PAPR reduction is provided in which a base station transmits a PAPR reduction signal using a subset of antenna beams selected from a null space plurality of antenna beams. The subset of antenna beams is selected such that the PAPR reduction signal is not directed having a relatively-high path gain to a UE and/or so that the PAPR reduction signal power is concentrated in directions that have a relatively-lo path gain to the UE.
