Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a receiving device may receive a communication that includes at least one pilot symbol, the at least one pilot symbol including pilot signaling on a first set of one or more subcarriers and peak-to-average-power-ratio (PAPR) signaling on a second set of one or more subcarriers. The receiving device may communicate based at least in part on the pilot signaling. Numerous other aspects are described.
