Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the base station receives CSI feedback and HARQ messages from the UE, analyzes these inputs using machine learning algorithms, and uses the results to adjust PAPR reduction techniques. This closed-loop feedback system ensures that PAPR reduction is applied in a way that maintains signal reliability, as the machine learning model continuously adapts based on actual reception outcomes and channel conditions.

AI summary

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a transmitting device (e.g., a base station) may utilize machine learning to modify a signal as conditions of a channel change to reduce a peak to average power (PAPR). For example, a base station may select a type of machine learning. The base station may receive one or more feedback messages related to a condition of a channel and modify a downlink signal based on the selected type of machine learning and the one or more feedback messages. In some cases, the base station may transmit the modified downlink signal to a user equipment (UE) along with information indicating the modified downlink signal and the UE may reconstruct the downlink signal based on the information.
