Abstract

Aspects presented herein provide a low PAPR waveform design based on resource spreading, pulse shaping, and/or dynamic MCS configuration, such that a transmitting wireless device may set IBO of its PA closer to the saturation point of the PA to enhance the PA efficiency. In one aspect, a first network node receives waveform information from a second network node, where the waveform information includes at least one of: one or more first parameters associated with a first waveform type or one or more second parameters associated with a second waveform type. The first network node processes data based on the one or more first parameters associated with the first waveform type or the one or more second parameters associated with the second waveform type. The first network node transmits a waveform based on the processed data, where the waveform is the first waveform type or the second waveform type.
