Autonomous modification of transmission parameters

A first network node configured for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• determine that a target transmission power for a subsequent transmission by the first network node is no longer optimal;
• autonomously modify one or more parameters of the subsequent transmission, from at least one of a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) or a set resources for the subsequent transmission;
• transmit a first channel, based at least in part on the autonomous modification of the one or more parameters, to a second network node of the communication network;
• and
• provide, by the first network node to another network node, at least one of:
• an indication of the autonomous modification by selecting a characteristic of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) that is predetermined to correspond to the autonomous modification;
• an indication of the autonomous modification in a control part of the subsequent transmission;
• or
• no indication of the autonomous modification of the one or more parameters, wherein providing no indication comprises refraining from providing any indication of the autonomous modification of the one or more parameters.

A method of wireless communication, comprising:

• measuring, by a first network node, at least one of receive power or receive quality of a transmission;
• determining, by the first network node, that a second network node has autonomously modified at least one parameter of the transmission based on the measurement, from at least one of a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) or a set resources for the transmission;
• and
• processing the first network node's transmission based on the determination.
