US Patent 11516058 Peak to average power ratio shaping techniques

Systems and methods providing peak to average power ratio (PAPR) shaping for PAPR reduction using, for example, an extra-allocation peak reduction tone (PRT) signal processing technique are described. Carrier resources outside of carrier resources allocated for data transmission may be utilized for extra-allocation PRTs. Use of extra-allocation carrier resources for transmitting extra-allocation PRTs may be subject to a power threshold (T). The extra-allocation carrier resources and/or extra-allocation PRTs may be configured for peak to average power shaping of signal transmissions by a wireless device, such as base stations, user equipments (UEs), etc. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
