1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
at least one processor;
at least one memory coupled with the at least one processor; and
instructions stored in the at least one memory and executable by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to:
transmit a UE capability message identifying that the UE supports performing a set of functions based at least in part on a reference signal comprising a single carrier waveform and associated with single carrier signals for a plurality of symbol periods and a plurality of channels;
receive control signaling identifying a configuration for the reference signal, the configuration indicating the plurality of channels and the set of functions associated with the reference signal, the configuration based at least in part on the UE capability message;
receive, according to the configuration, the reference signal in a first one or more symbol periods of the plurality of symbol periods and the single carrier signals on the plurality of channels in a second one or more symbol periods of the plurality of symbol periods; and
perform the set of functions on the single carrier signals based at least in part on the reference signal.
