Enhanced reliability by waveform analysis in 5G/6G communications

Non-transitory computer-readable media in a wireless receiver, the non-transitory computer-readable media containing instruction that, when executed by a computing environment, cause a method to be performed, the method comprising:

• a) using a modulation scheme comprising amplitude modulation according to integer Namp predetermined amplitude levels and phase modulation according to integer Nphase predetermined phase levels;
• b) receiving a message comprising message elements, each message element comprising a single resource element of a resource grid comprising symbol-times in time and subcarriers in frequency, each message element comprising a waveform signal;
• c) determining that the message is corrupted;
• d) for each message element, measuring a waveform amplitude and a waveform phase comprising the waveform signal;
• e) for each message element, comparing the waveform amplitude to the Namp predetermined amplitude levels, and determining an amplitude deviation comprising a difference between the waveform amplitude and a closest predetermined amplitude level;
• f) for each message element, comparing the waveform phase to the Nphase predetermined phase levels, and determining a phase deviation comprising a difference between the waveform phase and a closest predetermined phase level;
• g) determining, according to the amplitude deviation and the phase deviation, a signal quality of each message element;
• and
• h) determining a particular message element having a lowest signal quality, is faulted.
