Selecting the location of peak reduction tones for reducing a peak-to-average power ratio of a wireless transmission

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for receiving a tone reservation (TR) On/Off parameter;
• means for determining to utilize a peak-to-average-power (PAPR) reduction waveform for transmission with the data waveform based on the TR On/Off parameter;
• means for receiving a resource allocation spanning a set of N tones;
• and
• means for transmitting a data waveform multiplexed with the PAPR reduction waveform, the PAPR reduction waveform occupying a subset of the N tones, pseudo-randomly arranged within the resource allocation, and the data waveform occupying another subset of the N tones.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code, comprising code for causing a wireless communication apparatus to:

• receive a tone reservation (TR) On/Off parameter;
• determine to utilize a peak-to-average-power (PAPR) reduction waveform for transmission with the data waveform based on the TR On/Off parameter;
• receive a resource allocation spanning a set of N tones;
• and
• transmit a data waveform multiplexed with the PAPR reduction waveform, the PAPR reduction waveform occupying a subset of the N tones, pseudo-randomly arranged within the resource allocation, and the data waveform occupying another subset of the N tones.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processor;
• a transceiver communicatively coupled to the processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor,
• wherein the processor and the memory are configured to:
• receive a tone reservation (TR) On/Off parameter;
• determine to utilize a peak-to-average-power (PAPR) reduction waveform for transmission with the data waveform based on the TR On/Off parameter;
• receive, via the transceiver, a resource allocation spanning a set of N tones;
• and
• transmit, via the transceiver, a data waveform multiplexed with the PAPR reduction waveform, the PAPR reduction waveform occupying a subset of the N tones, pseudo-randomly arranged within the resource allocation, and the data waveform occupying another subset of the N tones.
