Abstract : Future 6G physical layers need to work together to improve peak power, spectrum confinement, reliability, energy, and latency when channels are not stationary and service slices are not the same. Traditional approaches for reducing PAPR and shaping spectra, such as PTS/SLM, ?-law companding, and fixed orthogonal precoding, work to some extent but are not very reliable across different types of waveforms (UFMC, OTFS) and power-domain multiplexing (NOMA). To suggest a single, AI-driven signal-shap
