receiving an indication that tone reservation is to be applied to one or more subcarriers for one or more downlink communications, the indication comprising one or more of:
an indication of a first portion of a set of subcarriers to which the tone reservation is to be applied, the indication identifying the first portion of the set of subcarriers without identifying specific subcarriers from the first portion of the set of subcarriers to be selected for the tone reservation, or
a threshold power for subcarriers to which the tone reservation is to be applied;
transmitting one or more uplink signals, using the one or more subcarriers, for measurement by a network entity; and
receiving the one or more downlink communications having the tone reservation applied to the one or more subcarriers, the one or more subcarriers having the tone reservation applied based at least in part on the measurement of the one or more uplink signals on the one or more sub carriers.
