Power control with flexible scheduling delay

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the one or more processors to cause the UE to:
• receive a transmit power control (TPC) command in a grant associated with transmitting an uplink communication,
• wherein a scheduling delay between the grant and the uplink communication is a flexible scheduling delay;
• sample a TPC state in association with determining a transmit power for transmitting the uplink communication,
• wherein a timing of sampling of the TPC state is determined relative to the grant and determined as a function of a downlink control information (DCI) parameter;
• and
• determine the transmit power based at least in part on the TPC state and the TPC command.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:

• receive a transmit power control (TPC) command in a grant associated with transmitting an uplink communication,
• wherein a scheduling delay between the grant and the uplink communication is a flexible scheduling delay;
• sample a TPC state in association with determining a transmit power for transmitting the uplink communication,
• wherein a timing of sampling of the TPC state is determined relative to the grant and determined as a function of a downlink control information (DCI) parameter;
• and
• determine the transmit power based at least in part on the TPC state and the TPC command.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for receiving a transmit power control (TPC) command in a grant associated with transmitting an uplink communication,
• wherein a scheduling delay between the grant and the uplink communication is a flexible scheduling delay;
• means for sampling a TPC state in association with determining a transmit power for transmitting the uplink communication,
• wherein a timing of sampling of the TPC state is determined relative to the grant and determined as a function of a downlink control information (DCI) parameter;
• and
• means for determining the transmit power based at least in part on the TPC state and the TPC command.
