Configurations corresponding to inter-carrier interference

A processor for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:
• receive first configuration information for reference signals for performing inter-carrier interference (ICI) estimation including time-frequency resources, a multiplexing pattern, a time-domain behavior, or a combination thereof;
• receive second configuration information for reporting ICI, wherein the second configuration information comprises instances of the reference signals for ICI estimation, the time-frequency resources for reporting, the time-domain behavior for reporting, or a combination thereof;
• measure the ICI due to phase noise;
• transmit an ICI report;
• and
• receive third configuration information for performing ICI pre-distortion and phase-tracking reference-signal (PT-RS) adaptation.

A base station, comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the base station to:
• transmit first configuration information for reference signals for performing inter-carrier interference (ICI) estimation including time-frequency resources, a multiplexing pattern, a time-domain behavior, or a combination thereof;
• transmit second configuration information for reporting ICI, wherein the second configuration information comprises instances of the reference signals for ICI estimation, the time-frequency resources for reporting, the time-domain behavior for reporting, or a combination thereof;
• receive an ICI report;
• and
• transmit third configuration information for performing ICI pre-distortion and phase-tracking reference-signal (PT-RS) adaptation.
