1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a first device, comprising:
memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
transmit an indication of a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS), wherein the first DMRS is based on a non-linearity of a power amplifier of the first device and at least one of a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) used for a data transmission associated with the first DMRS or a channel type of a channel associated with the first DMRS, wherein the nonlinearity of the power amplifier is associated with a power amplification (PA) backoff magnitude based on a peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the data transmission, and wherein the first DMRS is further based on a PAPR of the first DMRS; and
transmit, for a second device, the first DMRS for channel estimation at the second device.
