Peak-to-average power ratio (papr) reduction techniques

An apparatus configured for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured:
• to provide, by a first wireless device, resource allocation to a second wireless device;
• and
• to signal, by the first wireless device, peak to average power ratio (PAPR) shaping information to the second wireless device for implementing PAPR shaping with respect to a signal transmitted using the resource allocation, wherein the PAPR shaping information includes information regarding shaping the signal by the second wireless device prior to transmission in a communication link.

An apparatus configured for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured:
• to signal, by a first wireless device to a second wireless device in communication with the first wireless device, peak to average power ratio (PAPR) shaping capability information regarding one or more PAPR shaping resources the first wireless device has a capability to implement;
• to implement, by the first wireless device, at least one PAPR shaping resource of the one or more PAPR shaping resources prior to transmission of a signal in a communication link to the second wireless device.
