Patent ID: 11515953

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive signaling from a base station and may pass the signaling through one or more low noise amplifiers (LNAs) at a receiver of the UE. The UE may determine a saturation threshold at the one or more LNAs is exceeded. The UE may transmit an indication to the base station that the saturation threshold is exceeded. The base station may send additional signaling to the UE whose content, schedule, or configuration is responsive to the indication that the saturation threshold is exceeded. The UE may process the additional signaling using a digital linearizer at a receive chain of the UE. A base station may indicate an LNA saturation state to a UE in advance. The UE may respond to the indication (e.g., by setting LNA and digital linearizer states to accommodate predicted saturation).
