Title: High order digital post-distortion procedures

Description:
FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY 
     The present disclosure relates to wireless communications, including high order digital post-distortion procedures. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Wireless communications systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and so on. These systems may be capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple-access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems. These systems may employ technologies such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple-access communications system may include one or more base stations or one or more network access nodes, each simultaneously supporting communication for multiple communication devices, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE). 
     SUMMARY 
     The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support high order digital post-distortion procedures. Generally, a receiving device (e.g., a user equipment (UE)), may perform higher-order modeling (e.g., a Bussgang Reconstruction) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) digital post-distortion (DPoD) procedures. The base station may indicate, to the UE, when it changes a PA non-linearity model. Such changes may occur based on temperature variation, beam changes, etc. If the model is changed, the UE may update the PA model used for nonlinear distortion estimation, and a non-linear equalizer function (ƒ), which may be used at the equalization stage of the DPoD procedure. 
     The base station may transmit a set of parameters for the PA model, and a set of parameters for the non-linear equalizer function. The base station may indicate, to the UE, a lookup table, a vector of lookup tales, a set of kernels (e.g., from which the UE may estimate the coefficients of the PA model), or a set of both the kernels and the coefficients for the PA model. Similarly, for the equalizer function, the base station may indicate an explicit indication of the function, or may indicate a lookup table, or a kernels series (e.g., with or without corresponding coefficients). Based on this information, the UE may update a PA model and a non-linear equalizer function, quickly and efficiently estimate a distortion component of a received data signal, removes the distortion component, and decode the baseband signal without the distortion. This may allow for the base station to transmit using the high power amplifiers (HPAs) without violating any error vector magnitude (EVM) limitations, and without applying a BO resulting in low transmit power and inefficient wireless communications. As a result, techniques described herein may result in improved reliability of wireless communications, decreased system delays and latency, and improved user experience.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Wireless communications systems may support communications between wireless devices. A transmitting device, such as a base station (e.g., using a high power amplifier (HPA) with a limited linear dynamic range) may generate downlink signaling with nonlinear components. Nonlinear components may distort a transmitted signal. To avoid such distortions, a power back-off (BO) may be introduced. However, a power BO may result in poor efficiency due to insufficient transmit power, which may result in poor reception of a transmission. To avoid transmissions with distorted signals and excessive power BOs, a wireless communications system may support digital post-Distortion (DPoD) procedures. 
     DPoD procedures may be implemented by a receiving device (e.g., a UE) to reduce or mitigate distortion to some target level. DPoD procedures may be referred to as post-PA equalizers, and may clean a signal by removing non-linearities from the signal. A non-linear equalizer, such as a DPoD, may be used to reduce HPA non-linearity effects. A DPoD procedure may include multiple iterations. In each iteration, a UE attempts to map a received signal to a constellation, produces an estimation of the received signal, puts the estimation through a slicer, identifies a distortion component of the of the received signal, and subtracts the distortion component from the non-linearity distorted signal to restore the non-distorted data signal. The UE performs as many iterations as is necessary to generate a non-distorted data signal, and then receives and decodes the baseband signal. However, in some examples, by implementing a lower order function at the DPoD, the initially identified distortion component may be large, and the UE may perform a high number of iterations of the DPoD procedure to accurately identify and remove the distortion component from the data signal. Such a high number of iterations may result in increased power expenditures at the UE, increased delays and latency, and decreased user experience. 
     In some examples, a receiving device (e.g., a UE), may perform higher-order modeling (e.g., a Bussgang Reconstruction) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) DPoD procedures. Approximating a nonlinear output of a power amplifier (PA) model, and utilizing higher order functions for the DPoD procedure at the UE, may result in more accurately, and more quickly, identifying and subtracting the distortion component from the data signal (e.g., in less iterations than a lower order PA model and non-linear equalizer function). However, to effectively utilize such higher order PA models and non-linear equalizer functions, the UE may rely on information signaled from the base station regarding the model and the equalizer function. 
     The base station may indicate, to the UE, when it changes a PA non-linearity model. Such changes may occur based on temperature variation, beam changes, etc. If the model is changed, the UE may update the PA model used for nonlinear distortion estimation, and a non-linear equalizer function (ƒ), which may be used at the equalization stage of the DPoD procedure. The base station may transmit a set of parameters for the PA model, and a set of parameters for the non-linear equalizer function (ƒ). The base station may indicate, to the UE, a lookup table, a vector of lookup tales, a set of kernels (e.g., from which the UE may estimate the coefficients of the PA model), or a set of both the kernels and the coefficients for the PA model. Similarly, for the equalizer function, the base station may indicate an explicit indication of the function, or may indicate a lookup table, or a kernels series (e.g., with or without corresponding coefficients). Based on this information, the UE may update a PA model and a non-linear equalizer function, quickly and efficiently estimate a distortion component of a received data signal, removes the distortion component, and decode the baseband signal without the distortion. This may allow for the base station to transmit using the HPAs without violating any error vector magnitude (EVM) limitations, and without applying a BO resulting in low transmit power and inefficient wireless communications. As a result, techniques described herein may result in improved reliability of wireless communications, decreased system delays and latency, and improved user experience. 
     Aspects of the disclosure are initially described in the context of wireless communications systems. Aspects of the disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to wireless communications systems, power amplification scenarios, and process flows. Aspects of the disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts that relate to high order DPoD procedures. 
       FIG.  1    illustrates an example of a wireless communications system  100  that supports high order DPoD procedures in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communications system  100  may include one or more base stations  105 , one or more UEs  115 , and a core network  130 . In some examples, the wireless communications system  100  may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a New Radio (NR) network. In some examples, the wireless communications system  100  may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable communications, low latency communications, communications with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof. 
     The base stations  105  may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communications system  100  and may be devices in different forms or having different capabilities. The base stations  105  and the UEs  115  may wirelessly communicate via one or more communication links  125 . Each base station  105  may provide a coverage area  110  over which the UEs  115  and the base station  105  may establish one or more communication links  125 . The coverage area  110  may be an example of a geographic area over which a base station  105  and a UE  115  may support the communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies. 
     The UEs  115  may be dispersed throughout a coverage area  110  of the wireless communications system  100 , and each UE  115  may be stationary, or mobile, or both at different times. The UEs  115  may be devices in different forms or having different capabilities. Some example UEs  115  are illustrated in  FIG.  1   . The UEs  115  described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs  115 , the base stations  105 , or network equipment (e.g., core network nodes, relay devices, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, or other network equipment), as shown in  FIG.  1   . 
     The base stations  105  may communicate with the core network  130 , or with one another, or both. For example, the base stations  105  may interface with the core network  130  through one or more backhaul links  120  (e.g., via an S1, N2, N3, or other interface). The base stations  105  may communicate with one another over the backhaul links  120  (e.g., via an X2, Xn, or other interface) either directly (e.g., directly between base stations  105 ), or indirectly (e.g., via core network  130 ), or both. In some examples, the backhaul links  120  may be or include one or more wireless links. 
     One or more of the base stations  105  described herein may include or may be referred to by a person having ordinary skill in the art as a base transceiver station, a radio base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a NodeB, an eNodeB (eNB), a next-generation NodeB or a giga-NodeB (either of which may be referred to as a gNB), a Home NodeB, a Home eNodeB, or other suitable terminology. 
     A UE  115  may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where the “device” may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among other examples. A UE  115  may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, a UE  115  may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communications (MTC) device, among other examples, which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances, or vehicles, meters, among other examples. 
     The UEs  115  described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs  115  that may sometimes act as relays as well as the base stations  105  and the network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, among other examples, as shown in  FIG.  1   . 
     The UEs  115  and the base stations  105  may wirelessly communicate with one another via one or more communication links  125  over one or more carriers. The term “carrier” may refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting the communication links  125 . For example, a carrier used for a communication link  125  may include a portion of a radio frequency spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth part (BWP)) that is operated according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling that coordinates operation for the carrier, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communications system  100  may support communication with a UE  115  using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. A UE  115  may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation may be used with both frequency division duplexing (FDD) and time division duplexing (TDD) component carriers. 
     In some examples (e.g., in a carrier aggregation configuration), a carrier may also have acquisition signaling or control signaling that coordinates operations for other carriers. A carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an evolved universal mobile telecommunication system terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) absolute radio frequency channel number (EARFCN)) and may be positioned according to a channel raster for discovery by the UEs  115 . A carrier may be operated in a standalone mode where initial acquisition and connection may be conducted by the UEs  115  via the carrier, or the carrier may be operated in a non-standalone mode where a connection is anchored using a different carrier (e.g., of the same or a different radio access technology). 
     The communication links  125  shown in the wireless communications system  100  may include uplink transmissions from a UE  115  to a base station  105 , or downlink transmissions from a base station  105  to a UE  115 . Carriers may carry downlink or uplink communications (e.g., in an FDD mode) or may be configured to carry downlink and uplink communications (e.g., in a TDD mode). 
     A carrier may be associated with a particular bandwidth of the radio frequency spectrum, and in some examples the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as a “system bandwidth” of the carrier or the wireless communications system  100 . For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of a number of determined bandwidths for carriers of a particular radio access technology (e.g., 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, or 80 megahertz (MHz)). Devices of the wireless communications system  100  (e.g., the base stations  105 , the UEs  115 , or both) may have hardware configurations that support communications over a particular carrier bandwidth or may be configurable to support communications over one of a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communications system  100  may include base stations  105  or UEs  115  that support simultaneous communications via carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE  115  may be configured for operating over portions (e.g., a sub-band, a BWP) or all of a carrier bandwidth. 
     Signal waveforms transmitted over a carrier may be made up of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may consist of one symbol period (e.g., a duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, where the symbol period and subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Thus, the more resource elements that a UE  115  receives and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate may be for the UE  115 . A wireless communications resource may refer to a combination of a radio frequency spectrum resource, a time resource, and a spatial resource (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial layers may further increase the data rate or data integrity for communications with a UE  115 . 
     One or more numerologies for a carrier may be supported, where a numerology may include a subcarrier spacing (Δƒ) and a cyclic prefix. A carrier may be divided into one or more BWPs having the same or different numerologies. In some examples, a UE  115  may be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP for a carrier may be active at a given time and communications for the UE  115  may be restricted to one or more active BWPs. 
     The time intervals for the base stations  105  or the UEs  115  may be expressed in multiples of a basic time unit which may, for example, refer to a sampling period of T s =1/(Δƒ max ·N ƒ ) seconds, where Δƒ max  may represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, and N ƒ  may represent the maximum supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size. Time intervals of a communications resource may be organized according to radio frames each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023). 
     Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or slots, and each subframe or slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided (e.g., in the time domain) into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into a number of slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of slots, and the number of slots may depend on subcarrier spacing. Each slot may include a number of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix prepended to each symbol period). In some wireless communications systems  100 , a slot may further be divided into multiple mini-slots containing one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may contain one or more (e.g., N ƒ ) sampling periods. The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or frequency band of operation. 
     A subframe, a slot, a mini-slot, or a symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communications system  100  and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally, or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communications system  100  may be dynamically selected (e.g., in bursts of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)). 
     Physical channels may be multiplexed on a carrier according to various techniques. A physical control channel and a physical data channel may be multiplexed on a downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques, frequency division multiplexing (FDM) techniques, or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for a physical control channel may be defined by a number of symbol periods and may extend across the system bandwidth or a subset of the system bandwidth of the carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of the UEs  115 . For example, one or more of the UEs  115  may monitor or search control regions for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or multiple control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. An aggregation level for a control channel candidate may refer to a number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with encoded information for a control information format having a given payload size. Search space sets may include common search space sets configured for sending control information to multiple UEs  115  and UE-specific search space sets for sending control information to a specific UE  115 . 
     Each base station  105  may provide communication coverage via one or more cells, for example a macro cell, a small cell, a hot spot, or other types of cells, or any combination thereof. The term “cell” may refer to a logical communication entity used for communication with a base station  105  (e.g., over a carrier) and may be associated with an identifier for distinguishing neighboring cells (e.g., a physical cell identifier (PCID), a virtual cell identifier (VCID), or others). In some examples, a cell may also refer to a geographic coverage area  110  or a portion of a geographic coverage area  110  (e.g., a sector) over which the logical communication entity operates. Such cells may range from smaller areas (e.g., a structure, a subset of structure) to larger areas depending on various factors such as the capabilities of the base station  105 . For example, a cell may be or include a building, a subset of a building, or exterior spaces between or overlapping with geographic coverage areas  110 , among other examples. 
     A macro cell generally covers a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by the UEs  115  with service subscriptions with the network provider supporting the macro cell. A small cell may be associated with a lower-powered base station  105 , as compared with a macro cell, and a small cell may operate in the same or different (e.g., licensed, unlicensed) frequency bands as macro cells. Small cells may provide unrestricted access to the UEs  115  with service subscriptions with the network provider or may provide restricted access to the UEs  115  having an association with the small cell (e.g., the UEs  115  in a closed subscriber group (CSG), the UEs  115  associated with users in a home or office). A base station  105  may support one or multiple cells and may also support communications over the one or more cells using one or multiple component carriers. 
     In some examples, a carrier may support multiple cells, and different cells may be configured according to different protocol types (e.g., MTC, narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)) that may provide access for different types of devices. 
     In some examples, a base station  105  may be movable and therefore provide communication coverage for a moving geographic coverage area  110 . In some examples, different geographic coverage areas  110  associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas  110  may be supported by the same base station  105 . In other examples, the overlapping geographic coverage areas  110  associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations  105 . The wireless communications system  100  may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of the base stations  105  provide coverage for various geographic coverage areas  110  using the same or different radio access technologies. 
     The wireless communications system  100  may support synchronous or asynchronous operation. For synchronous operation, the base stations  105  may have similar frame timings, and transmissions from different base stations  105  may be approximately aligned in time. For asynchronous operation, the base stations  105  may have different frame timings, and transmissions from different base stations  105  may, in some examples, not be aligned in time. The techniques described herein may be used for either synchronous or asynchronous operations. 
     Some UEs  115 , such as MTC or IoT devices, may be low cost or low complexity devices and may provide for automated communication between machines (e.g., via Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication). M2M communication or MTC may refer to data communication technologies that allow devices to communicate with one another or a base station  105  without human intervention. In some examples, M2M communication or MTC may include communications from devices that integrate sensors or meters to measure or capture information and relay such information to a central server or application program that makes use of the information or presents the information to humans interacting with the application program. Some UEs  115  may be designed to collect information or enable automated behavior of machines or other devices. Examples of applications for MTC devices include smart metering, inventory monitoring, water level monitoring, equipment monitoring, healthcare monitoring, wildlife monitoring, weather and geological event monitoring, fleet management and tracking, remote security sensing, physical access control, and transaction-based business charging. 
     Some UEs  115  may be configured to employ operating modes that reduce power consumption, such as half-duplex communications (e.g., a mode that supports one-way communication via transmission or reception, but not transmission and reception simultaneously). In some examples, half-duplex communications may be performed at a reduced peak rate. Other power conservation techniques for the UEs  115  include entering a power saving deep sleep mode when not engaging in active communications, operating over a limited bandwidth (e.g., according to narrowband communications), or a combination of these techniques. For example, some UEs  115  may be configured for operation using a narrowband protocol type that is associated with a defined portion or range (e.g., set of subcarriers or resource blocks (RBs)) within a carrier, within a guard-band of a carrier, or outside of a carrier. 
     The wireless communications system  100  may be configured to support ultra-reliable communications or low-latency communications, or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communications system  100  may be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). The UEs  115  may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, or critical functions. Ultra-reliable communications may include private communication or group communication and may be supported by one or more services such as push-to-talk, video, or data. Support for ultra-reliable, low-latency functions may include prioritization of services, and such services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, and ultra-reliable low-latency may be used interchangeably herein. 
     In some examples, a UE  115  may also be able to communicate directly with other UEs  115  over a device-to-device (D2D) communication link  135  (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or D2D protocol). One or more UEs  115  utilizing D2D communications may be within the geographic coverage area  110  of a base station  105 . Other UEs  115  in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area  110  of a base station  105  or be otherwise unable to receive transmissions from a base station  105 . In some examples, groups of the UEs  115  communicating via D2D communications may utilize a one-to-many ( 1 :M) system in which each UE  115  transmits to every other UE  115  in the group. In some examples, a base station  105  facilitates the scheduling of resources for D2D communications. In other cases, D2D communications are carried out between the UEs  115  without the involvement of a base station  105 . 
     In some systems, the D2D communication link  135  may be an example of a communication channel, such as a sidelink communication channel, between vehicles (e.g., UEs  115 ). In some examples, vehicles may communicate using vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, or some combination of these. A vehicle may signal information related to traffic conditions, signal scheduling, weather, safety, emergencies, or any other information relevant to a V2X system. In some examples, vehicles in a V2X system may communicate with roadside infrastructure, such as roadside units, or with the network via one or more network nodes (e.g., base stations  105 ) using vehicle-to-network (V2N) communications, or with both. 
     The core network  130  may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network  130  may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity that manages access and mobility (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) and at least one user plane entity that routes packets or interconnects to external networks (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a Packet Data Network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)). The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for the UEs  115  served by the base stations  105  associated with the core network  130 . User IP packets may be transferred through the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation as well as other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to IP services  150  for one or more network operators. The IP services  150  may include access to the Internet, Intranet(s), an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or a Packet-Switched Streaming Service. 
     Some of the network devices, such as a base station  105 , may include subcomponents such as an access network entity  140 , which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity  140  may communicate with the UEs  115  through one or more other access network transmission entities  145 , which may be referred to as radio heads, smart radio heads, or transmission/reception points (TRPs). Each access network transmission entity  145  may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, various functions of each access network entity  140  or base station  105  may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio heads and ANCs) or consolidated into a single network device (e.g., a base station  105 ). 
     The wireless communications system  100  may operate using one or more frequency bands, typically in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Generally, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is known as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from approximately one decimeter to one meter in length. The UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, but the waves may penetrate structures sufficiently for a macro cell to provide service to the UEs  115  located indoors. The transmission of UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) compared to transmission using the smaller frequencies and longer waves of the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portion of the spectrum below 300 MHz. 
     The wireless communications system  100  may also operate in a super high frequency (SHF) region using frequency bands from 3 GHz to 30 GHz, also known as the centimeter band, or in an extremely high frequency (EHF) region of the spectrum (e.g., from 30 GHz to 300 GHz), also known as the millimeter band. In some examples, the wireless communications system  100  may support millimeter wave (mmW) communications between the UEs  115  and the base stations  105 , and EHF antennas of the respective devices may be smaller and more closely spaced than UHF antennas. In some examples, this may facilitate use of antenna arrays within a device. The propagation of EHF transmissions, however, may be subject to even greater atmospheric attenuation and shorter range than SHF or UHF transmissions. The techniques disclosed herein may be employed across transmissions that use one or more different frequency regions, and designated use of bands across these frequency regions may differ by country or regulating body. 
     The wireless communications system  100  may utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communications system  100  may employ License Assisted Access (LAA), LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in an unlicensed band such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. When operating in unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands, devices such as the base stations  105  and the UEs  115  may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations in unlicensed bands may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration in conjunction with component carriers operating in a licensed band (e.g., LAA). Operations in unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among other examples. 
     A base station  105  or a UE  115  may be equipped with multiple antennas, which may be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of a base station  105  or a UE  115  may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which may support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, antennas or antenna arrays associated with a base station  105  may be located in diverse geographic locations. A base station  105  may have an antenna array with a number of rows and columns of antenna ports that the base station  105  may use to support beamforming of communications with a UE  115 . Likewise, a UE  115  may have one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally, or alternatively, an antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming for a signal transmitted via an antenna port. 
     The base stations  105  or the UEs  115  may use MIMO communications to exploit multipath signal propagation and increase the spectral efficiency by transmitting or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. Such techniques may be referred to as spatial multiplexing. The multiple signals may, for example, be transmitted by the transmitting device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Likewise, the multiple signals may be received by the receiving device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Each of the multiple signals may be referred to as a separate spatial stream and may carry bits associated with the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers may be associated with different antenna ports used for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO techniques include single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to the same receiving device, and multiple-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to multiple devices. 
     Beamforming, which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that may be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a base station  105 , a UE  115 ) to shape or steer an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming may be achieved by combining the signals communicated via antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating at particular orientations with respect to an antenna array experience constructive interference while others experience destructive interference. The adjustment of signals communicated via the antenna elements may include a transmitting device or a receiving device applying amplitude offsets, phase offsets, or both to signals carried via the antenna elements associated with the device. The adjustments associated with each of the antenna elements may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a particular orientation (e.g., with respect to the antenna array of the transmitting device or receiving device, or with respect to some other orientation). 
     A base station  105  or a UE  115  may use beam sweeping techniques as part of beam forming operations. For example, a base station  105  may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to conduct beamforming operations for directional communications with a UE  115 . Some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be transmitted by a base station  105  multiple times in different directions. For example, the base station  105  may transmit a signal according to different beamforming weight sets associated with different directions of transmission. Transmissions in different beam directions may be used to identify (e.g., by a transmitting device, such as a base station  105 , or by a receiving device, such as a UE  115 ) a beam direction for later transmission or reception by the base station  105 . 
     Some signals, such as data signals associated with a particular receiving device, may be transmitted by a base station  105  in a single beam direction (e.g., a direction associated with the receiving device, such as a UE  115 ). In some examples, the beam direction associated with transmissions along a single beam direction may be determined based on a signal that was transmitted in one or more beam directions. For example, a UE  115  may receive one or more of the signals transmitted by the base station  105  in different directions and may report to the base station  105  an indication of the signal that the UE  115  received with a highest signal quality or an otherwise acceptable signal quality. 
     In some examples, transmissions by a device (e.g., by a base station  105  or a UE  115 ) may be performed using multiple beam directions, and the device may use a combination of digital precoding or radio frequency beamforming to generate a combined beam for transmission (e.g., from a base station  105  to a UE  115 ). The UE  115  may report feedback that indicates precoding weights for one or more beam directions, and the feedback may correspond to a configured number of beams across a system bandwidth or one or more sub-bands. The base station  105  may transmit a reference signal (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS)), which may be precoded or unprecoded. The UE  115  may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., a multi-panel type codebook, a linear combination type codebook, a port selection type codebook). Although these techniques are described with reference to signals transmitted in one or more directions by a base station  105 , a UE  115  may employ similar techniques for transmitting signals multiple times in different directions (e.g., for identifying a beam direction for subsequent transmission or reception by the UE  115 ) or for transmitting a signal in a single direction (e.g., for transmitting data to a receiving device). 
     A receiving device (e.g., a UE  115 ) may try multiple receive configurations (e.g., directional listening) when receiving various signals from the base station  105 , such as synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals. For example, a receiving device may try multiple receive directions by receiving via different antenna subarrays, by processing received signals according to different antenna subarrays, by receiving according to different receive beamforming weight sets (e.g., different directional listening weight sets) applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of an antenna array, or by processing received signals according to different receive beamforming weight sets applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of an antenna array, any of which may be referred to as “listening” according to different receive configurations or receive directions. In some examples, a receiving device may use a single receive configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when receiving a data signal). The single receive configuration may be aligned in a beam direction determined based on listening according to different receive configuration directions (e.g., a beam direction determined to have a highest signal strength, highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or otherwise acceptable signal quality based on listening according to multiple beam directions). 
     The wireless communications system  100  may be a packet-based network that operates according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, communications at the bearer or Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer may be IP-based. A Radio Link Control (RLC) layer may perform packet segmentation and reassembly to communicate over logical channels. A Medium Access Control (MAC) layer may perform priority handling and multiplexing of logical channels into transport channels. The MAC layer may also use error detection techniques, error correction techniques, or both to support retransmissions at the MAC layer to improve link efficiency. In the control plane, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol layer may provide establishment, configuration, and maintenance of an RRC connection between a UE  115  and a base station  105  or a core network  130  supporting radio bearers for user plane data. At the physical layer, transport channels may be mapped to physical channels. 
     The UEs  115  and the base stations  105  may support retransmissions of data to increase the likelihood that data is received successfully. Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is one technique for increasing the likelihood that data is received correctly over a communication link  125 . HARQ may include a combination of error detection (e.g., using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC), and retransmission (e.g., automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ may improve throughput at the MAC layer in poor radio conditions (e.g., low signal-to-noise conditions). In some examples, a device may support same-slot HARQ feedback, where the device may provide HARQ feedback in a specific slot for data received in a previous symbol in the slot. In other cases, the device may provide HARQ feedback in a subsequent slot, or according to some other time interval. 
     In some examples, a receiving device (e.g., a UE  115 ), may perform higher-order modeling (e.g., a Bussgang Reconstruction) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) DPoD procedures. Approximating a nonlinear output of a power amplifier (PA) model, and utilizing higher order functions for the DPoD procedure at the UE  115 , may result in more accurately, and more quickly, identifying and subtracting the distortion component from the data signal (e.g., in less iterations than a lower order PA model and non-linear equalizer function). However, to effectively utilize such higher order PA models and non-linear equalizer functions, the UE  115  may rely on information signaled from the base station  105  regarding the model and the equalizer function. 
     The base station  105  may indicate, to the UE  115 , when it changes a PA non-linearity model. Such changes may occur based on temperature variation, beam changes, etc. If the model is changed, the UE  115  may update the PA model used for nonlinear distortion estimation, and a non-linear equalizer function (ƒ), which may be used at the equalization stage of the DPoD procedure. The base station  105  may transmit a set of parameters for the PA model, and a set of parameters for the non-linear equalizer function (ƒ). The base station  105  may indicate, to the UE  115 , a lookup table, a vector of lookup tales, a set of kernels (e.g., from which the UE  115  may estimate the coefficients of the PA model), or a set of both the kernels and the coefficients for the PA model. Similarly, for the equalizer function, the base station  105  may indicate an explicit indication of the function, or may indicate a lookup table, or a kernels series (e.g., with or without corresponding coefficients). Based on this information, the UE  115  may update a PA model and a non-linear equalizer function, quickly and efficiently estimate a distortion component of a received data signal, removes the distortion component, and decode the baseband signal without the distortion. This may allow for the base station  105  to transmit using the HPAs without violating any EVM limitations, and without applying a BO resulting in low transmit power and inefficient wireless communications. As a result, techniques described herein may result in improved reliability of wireless communications, decreased system delays and latency, and improved user experience. 
       FIG.  2    illustrates an example of a wireless communications system  200  that supports high order DPoD procedures in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. Wireless communications system  200  may support communications between a base station  105 - a  and a UE  115 - a,  which may be examples of corresponding devices described with reference to  FIG.  1   . The base station  105 - a  may transmit wireless communications to UE  115 - a.  Techniques described with reference to  FIG.  2    may refer to the base station  105 - a  as a transmitting device, and the UE  115 - a  as a receiving device. However, techniques described herein may be implemented by any transmitting and receiving devices (e.g., a transmitting UE  115  and a receiving base station  105 , two UEs  115  in communication with each other, two base stations  105  in communication with each other, or any other combination of difference wireless nodes, devices, or the like. 
     In some examples, a transmitting device (e.g., the base station  105 - a ) may transmit downlink wireless signals  225  to receiving wireless devices (e.g., UEs  115 ). The base station  105 - a  may utilize an HPA to transmit such downlink signaling. HPAs with limited linear dynamic range may generate nonlinear components, and may distort a transmitted signal. Non-linear models may include odd-order kernels (e.g., x|x| 2 , x|x| 4 , or the like). To avoid such distortion, the base station  105 - a  may introduce a power back-off (BO). Such procedures may function in regions where a PA is sufficiently linear (e.g., an Amplified power output at a transmitting device is linearly related to an amplified power input at a receiving device). However, for a high power BO, power efficiency may be poor. That is, less power may be transmitted to a particular wireless channel as a result of the power BO. This may in turn result in poor reception at the UE  115 - a.    
     As an alternative applying a power BO, the wireless communications system  200  may support DPoD procedures, which may be utilized to maintain an amount of distortion at or below a target level (e.g., a threshold distortion level). DPoD procedures may be post-PA equalizers. Such procedures may clean a receiver-side signal by removing non-linearities from a received signal. By utilizing DPoD procedures, wireless communications from the base station  105 - a  to the UE  115 - a  may support reduced power BO and higher power efficiency, without compromising EVM standard conformity. For example, if a power BO is not applied, and channel distortions are introduced by HPAs at the base station  105 - a,  then the UE  115 - a  may receive wireless signals that exceed an EVM threshold. However, by implementing DPoD procedures at the UE  115 - a,  the UF,  115 - a  may receive signaling form the base station  105 - a  at a high power efficiency without exceeding EVM requirements. Thus, non-linear equalizers may be used by the UE  115 - a  to reduce the HPA non-linearity effects, and may be used iteratively to improve the HPA output estimation in order to improve non-linear equalizer accuracy, as described herein. 
     The base station  105 - a  may generate and transmit an amplified signal. The base station may generate a baseband signal X at the transmitter baseband  205 . The base station  105 - a  may perform power amplification to generate amplified signal G (x) at the PA  210 . The base station  105 - a  may perform a compression  215 . The compression  215  may include a high compression with one or more odd-order kernels (e.g., x|x| 2 , x|x| 4 , etc.), and one or more coefficients (e.g., a 1 , a 3 , a 5 , etc.). Thus, the base station  105 - a  may generate a power amplified signal G(x), where G(x)=a 1 x+a 3 x|x| 2 +a 5 x|x| 4  + . . . . The base station  105 - a  may generate the power amplified signal G(x) according to a PA model (e.g., G(x)=a 1 x+a 3 x|x| 2 +a 3 x|x| 2 +a 5 x|x| 4  + . . . ). The base station  105 - a  may transmit a wireless signal  225  by transmitting the power amplified signal G (x) via one or more antennas  220 . 
     The UE  115 - a  may receive the wireless signal  225  via one or more antennas  230 , and may perform a DPoD to cleanse the wireless signal  225  of any non-linearity components. Such procedures may be based on a decomposition procedure (e.g., a Bussgang decomposition), where the output of a non-linear function y(x) is decomposed into a linear term and an additive uncorrelated distortion component (e.g., y(x) =ax +d, where ax represents the linear term of the non-linear function and d represents the uncorrelated distortion component). 
     In each iteration of a DPoD procedure, the UE  115 - a  may use slicing to estimate transmitted symbols (e.g., x′), feeding sliced symbols through a PA non-linear model in order to estimate the non-linear distortion component d, which is then subtracted from the non-linearly distorted signal Y to restore the non-distorted data signal (e.g., X as generated by the transmitter baseband  205 ). For instance, the UE  115 -a may receive the wireless signal  225  (e.g., as transmitted by the base station  105 -a), as a distorted signal Y. The UE may slice the received signal Y via slicer  240 . For instance, the UE  115 - a  may attempt to apply the received signal Y to a constellation point to estimate transmitted symbols x′ (e.g., the UE  115 - a  may estimate symbols of the original signal X. The UE  115 - a  may feed sliced symbols x′ through the PA non-linear model to estimate the non-linear distortion component d. Modifier  235  may remove (e.g., subtract) the estimated value of d from the received signal y. Then the UE  115 - a  may repeat the process iteratively until the received signal y is as close as possible (e.g., within a threshold) of the original signal x. In some examples, slicing operations may accelerate convergence. However, such slicing procedures may not be mandatory. In some examples (e.g., OFDM scenarios), such procedures may rely on fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) by the base station  105 - a  and inverse FFTs (IFFTs) by the receiving UE  115 - a  for each OFDM symbol. 
     In some examples, as described in greater detail with reference to  FIG.  3   , the UE  115 - a  may utilize a lower order (e.g., or linear model, such as y(x)=ax+d) function to estimate and mitigate nonlinearities. However, such lower order equalizer functions at the UE  115 - a  may result in initial estimates of d that are not particularly accurate. Because of the inaccuracy of an initial estimate of d, the UE  115 - a  may perform multiple iterations of the DPoD procedure, resulting in decreased efficiency, increased battery expenditure, increased delays at the UE  115 - a,  and increased system delays. However, by utilizing a higher order equalizer function at the UE  115 - a  (e.g., using a larger number of odd-order kernels), the UE  115 - a  may estimate a value for d that is much more accurate. Because of a more accurate estimate of d, the UE may identify and remove the distortion from the received signal in less iterations, resulting in decreased delays, improved and extended battery life, decreased latency, and improved user experience. However, to use higher order equalizer functions, the UE  115 - a  may rely on signaling from the base station  105 - a  regarding a PA model used by the base station (e.g., the compression  215 ), a non-linear equalizer function for the UE  115 - a  to use for the DPoD procedure (e.g., to estimate d), or both. 
     In some examples, as described in greater detail with reference to  FIG.  4   , the base station  105 - a  may indicate, to the UE  115 - a,  each time the base station  105 - a  changes a non-linearity model. The base station  105 - a  may change the PA non-linearity model due to one or more changing parameters. For instance, the base station  105 - a  may change the PA model due to temperature variations, beam change, or the like. Each time the PA model is changed (e.g., as indicated by the base station  105 - a ), the UE  115 - a  may update its PA model used for the non-linear distortion estimation stage, and the non-linear equalizer function (ƒ) used at the equalization stage. For instance, the UE  115 - a  may utilize the updated PA model for estimation of the transmitted symbols x′ via the slicer  240 , and may update the non-linear equalizer function used by the estimator  245  to identify d. 
     In some examples, the UE may re-estimate by itself the new DPoD functionality based on the gNB indication, and receiving one or more dedicated pilot signals, as described in greater detail with reference to  FIG.  5   . In some examples, the UE  115 - a  may request additional information from the base station to aid DPoD computations. For example, the UE  115 - a  may determine that estimation of d is inefficient, or does not satisfy a threshold amount of time (e.g., takes too long), or that estimations of d over time result in an excessive amount of iterations (e.g., a number of iterations that satisfies a threshold number of iterations), or the like. In such examples, based on such determinations, the UE  115 - a  may request updated information regarding the PA model, the non-linear equalizer function, or both. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE  115 - a  may request the information regarding the PA model, the non-linear equalizer function, or both, in response to an indication that the base station  105 - a  has updated its PA model. 
     The base station  105 - a  may indicate, to the UE  115 - a,  one or more parameters for the PA model, one or more parameters for the non-linear equalizer function, or both. For example, the base station  105 - a  may transmit a representation of the PA model. For instance, the representation of the PA model may be described as a set of coefficients c and a set of kernels K (e.g., where c 1  and c 1  are coefficients for kernels K 1  and K 2 ). In some examples, the base station  105 - a  may transmit a representation of the PA model defined in terms of a lookup table (LUT), or a vector of LUTs for a memory PA model (e.g., if the UE  115 - a  is not memory-less). The LUT or the vector of LUTs, may define a set of values that describe the non-linear model (e.g., per signal amplitude, for example. In some examples, the LUT may include a set of different PA models. Each of the set of PA models may be described as kernels and coefficients, or otherwise. Each PA model of the set of PA models may correspond to an index. In some examples, the base station may indicate one of the set of PA models via an index corresponding to the LUT. 
     The base station  105 - a  may transmit, to the UE  115 - a,  an indication of the complete PA model. The indication of the complete PA model may include the function used by the base station  105 - a  to perform the power amplification, the compression  215 , or the like. The PA model may be any mathematical function used by the base station to apply the power amplification, or may be any model for estimation or approximating the PA model, or the like. In some examples, the indication of the PA model may be in the form of a LUT (e.g., if the UE  115 - a  is memoryless or operating in a memoryless mode), or in the form of a vector of LUTs (e.g., if the UE  115 - a  is not memoryless or is not operating in a memoryless mode), or the like. IN some examples, the base station  105 - a  may indicate, to the UE  115 - a,  the kernels of a series (e.g., a Volterra polynomial) for the PA model. The base station  105 - a  may also indicate, to the UE  115 - a,  the coefficients of the PA model. In some examples, the base station  105 - a  may transmit, to the UE  115 - a,  only the kernels of the PA model, and may also transmit one or more pilot signals. The pilot signals may be designed for estimation of the coefficients of the PA model. The dedicated pilot signals may span frequency resources, time resources, spatial resources, or the like, or may be transmitted at a transmit power, that is sufficient for estimation of coefficients for the PA model utilized by the base station  105 - a.  The UE  115 - a  may utilize the indicated kernels of the PA model, and the received pilot signals, to estimate the coefficients for the PA model. In some examples, the UE  115 - a  may implicitly determine the non-linear equalizer function based on complete PA model information received from the base station  105 - a.  For example, the base station  105 - a  may transmit, to the UE  115 - a,  an indication of a complete PA model (e.g., via a LUT, a vector of LUTs, a set of kernels and coefficients for the PA model, or the like). The UE  115 - a  may implicitly determine a non-linear equalizer function based on the PA model (e.g., without receiving an indication of any parameters for the non-linear equalizer function). 
     In some examples, the base station  105 - a  may indicate, to the UE  115 - a,  one or more parameters for the non-linear equalizer function. The base station  105 - a  may indicate, to the UE  115 - a,  a LUT, or a kernels series, with or without the coefficients. 
       FIG.  3    illustrates an example of a power amplification scenario  300  that supports high order DPoD procedures in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. Power amplification scenario  300  may be implemented by one or more wireless devices, such as a transmitting device (e.g., a base station  105 ) and a receiving device (e.g., a UE  115 ), which may be examples of corresponding devices described with reference to  FIGS.  1 - 2   .

     where d represents a remaining non-linear distortion component. In some examples, for K=3: ƒ(x)=a 1 x+a 3 |x| 2 x+d. As described in greater detail with reference to  FIG.  2   , using higher order non-linear equalizer functions (e.g., such as the function described with reference to  FIG.  3   , where K=3, K=5, K=7, or the like) may result in a more accurate identification and mitigation of non-linear distortion of a transmitted signal. 
     For example, amplification relationship  305  may represent an ideal power amplification, where the relationship between k out  and A in  is linear (e.g. y=x). However, amplification relationship  305  may represent a true PA model, where A in  and A out  do not have a linear relationship as power amplification increases. That is, A out  of 1.2 may result in A in  of 1.8. Such distortion may be estimated as d, as described herein. However, using a lower order model (e.g., a first order Bussgang equalizer function) may result in amplification relationship  310 . Amplification relationship p310 may be the closest linear estimation that can be generated by a lower order equalizer function (e.g., such as y(x)=ax+d). However, the estimated d resulting from such lower order equalizer functions may be relatively inaccurate (e.g., given the difference between estimated amplification relationship  310  and the true or accurate PA model represented by amplification relationship  320 ). However, use of higher order non-linear equalizer functions (e.g. such as a send order Bussgang equalizer function) may result in an estimated amplification relationship  315 , which is much closer to the accurate PA model represented by amplification relationship  320 . Because higher order functions may result in an amplification relationship that is closer to the true PA model (e.g., the amplification relationship  320 ), the estimated d may be smaller, which may result in an iterative process (e..g, a DPoD procedure, as described with reference to  FIG.  2   ), that converges faster than a larger initially estimated d value. High-order Busgang iterations may be formulated, by explicitly including high-order non-linear terms in a reconstruction process. 
     In some examples, an equalization function may be selected to be an invertible function. For example, for a high-order Bussgang iterations for estimation a transmitted signal x and a distortion component d. For instance, based on y(x)=ƒ(x)+d (e.g., where ƒ(x) is a higher order non-linear equalizer function), a correction function (e.g., for correcting a signal received with a distortion element) may be defined as y corrected =y−{circumflex over (d)}. The equalization procedure may be defined as {tilde over (x)}=ƒ −1 (y corrected ) (e.g., the inverse of y corrected ) A slicing procedure (e.g., which may be optional) may be defined as {circumflex over (x)}=Slice{{tilde over (x)}}. An estimation of the distortion element d may be defined as {circumflex over (d)}=PA_model({circumflex over (x)})−ƒ({circumflex over (x)}). In such examples, an output of a DPoD may be defined as Output: ƒ −1 (y−{circumflex over (d)}). 
     To take advantage of the benefits of higher order equalizer functions, as described herein, a transmitting device may provide an indication of an updated PA model, a non-linear equalizer function, or both, as described in greater detail with reference to  FIG.  4   . 
       FIG.  4    illustrates an example of a process flow  400  that supports high order DPoD procedures in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. Process flow  400  may include a UE  115 - b  and a base station  105 - b,  which may be examples of corresponding devices described with reference to the  FIGS.  1 - 3   . 
     At  425 , the base station  105 - b  may transmit, and the UE  115 - b  may receive, one or more sets of parameters. For instance, the UE  115 - a  may receive a first set of parameters corresponding to a PA model associated with downlink signaling, a second set of parameters corresponding to a non-linear equalize function, or both. 
     In some examples, the first set of parameters corresponding to the PA model may include an indication of the complete PA model (e.g., a function used for power amplification at the base station  105 - b ). In some examples, the first set of parameters may include a set of kernels for the power amplifier model. In such examples, the UE  115 - b  may receive one or more pilot signals (e.g., at  420 ), and may estimate coefficients for the PA model based on the set of kernels and the received pilot signals. For example, the UE  115 - b  may estimate one or more coefficients a for one or more kernels [x, x|x| 2 , . . . , x|x| K−1 ] for an order K according to equation 1:

     where H represents entropy for the estimated function. 
     In some examples, the first set of parameters may include an indication of a set of kernels for the power amplifier model and a set of coefficients for the power amplifier model. In some examples, the first set of parameters may be indicated via a LUT or a vector of LUTs. For instance, the base station  105 - b  may provide, to the UE  115 - b  (e.g., at  405 ), higher layer signaling (e.g., radio resource control (RRC) signaling, media access control (MAC) control element (CE) signaling, or the like) indicating LUT configuration information. The LUT configuration information may include a LUT, or a vector of LUTs, or the like. For instance, a LUT may include a set of indices, each index associated with a particular PA model, a particular equalizer function, or both. In such examples, at  425 , the base station  105 - b  may indicate (e.g., via higher layer signaling such as RRC signaling, or dynamic signaling such as downlink control information (DCI) signaling) an index value. The UE  115 - b,  upon receiving the index, may identify (e.g., via the LUT or the vector of LUTs) a PA model, an equalizer function, or both). 
     In some examples, the second set of parameters may include an indication of a model for the non-linear equalizer function. In some examples, the second set of parameters may include a set of kernels for the non-equalizer function. In some examples, at  435 , the UE  115 - b  may estimate coefficients for the non-equalizer function based at least in part on pilot signals (e.g., received from the base station  105 - b  for estimating the non-equalizer function at  420 ), and the set of kernels indicated at  425 . In some examples, the second set of parameters may include both a set of kernels and a set of coefficients for the non-linear equalizer function. In some examples, as described herein, the set of parameters may be indicated by an index associated with a LUT or vector of LUTs indicated via LUT configuration information received at  405 . 
     In some examples, the base station  105 - b  may indicate, to the UE  115 - b,  that it has changed its PA model. For instance, the base station  105 - b  may select a PA model at  410  (e.g., may change from a previously utilized PA model to a current PA model). In such examples, the base station  105 - b  may select the PA model based on a change in one or more conditions (e.g., a change in temperature, a change in beam, detected interference, changes in power settings, switches in frequency resources, time resources, spatial resources, or the like, or any combination thereof). The base station  105 - b  may transmit such an indication together with the set or sets of parameters at  425 , or in a separate message (e.g., prior to transmitting the parameters to the UE  115 -b). 
     In some examples, the base station  105 - b  may transmit the set or sets of parameters in response to a request message received from the UE  115 - b.  For example, at  415 , the UE  115 - b  may transmit a request message, requesting additional information from the base station  105 - b  regarding the PA model, the non-linear equalizer function, or both. The UE  115 - b  may autonomously transmit such a request message, or may transmit such a message in response to an indication that the base station  105 - b  has selected an updated PA model at  410 . 
     At  430 , the base station  105 - a  may transmit, and the UE  115 - b  may receive, a downlink signal from the base station  105 - b.    
     At  440 , the UE  115 - b  may perform a DPoD procedure on the downlink signal received from the base station  105 - b  at  430 . Based on performing the DPoD procedure, the UE  115 - b  may identify and remove a distortion element associated with the downlink signal, as described in greater detail with reference to  FIGS.  2 - 3   . 
     At  445 , the UE  115 - b  may decode the downlink signal, based on having removed the distortion element from the downlink signal at  440 .
