## Abstract

A wireless device receives configuration parameters of a cell that comprise: first parameters indicating: configuration of SRSs of the cell; whether a first accumulated power control adjustment for the SRSs is enabled; and second parameters. The second parameters indicate: configuration of an uplink data channel of the cell; and whether a second accumulated power control adjustment for the uplink data channel is enabled. A first transmission power is determined for the SRSs based on the first accumulated power control adjustment and a first power control command. The SRSs are transmitted, via the cell, with the first transmission power. A second transmission power is determined for the uplink data channel of the cell based on the second accumulated power control adjustment and a second power control command. One or more transport blocks are transmitted, via the uplink data channel of the cell, with the second transmission power.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device from a base station, a downlink control information (DCI) indicating a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission via a first slot of a cell;
determining a first transmission power for the SRS transmission via the first slot, based on a first power control command received a first number of symbols before the first slot, the first number of symbols being determined based on the DCI;
transmitting, by the wireless device and via the first slot of the cell, the SRS with the first transmission power;
determining a second transmission power for an uplink data channel transmission via the cell at a second slot, wherein the second transmission power is based on a second power control command received a second number of symbols before the second slot, wherein the second number is determined based on a numerology of the uplink data channel; and
transmitting, by the wireless device and via the uplink data channel of the cell, a transport block with the second transmission power.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting of the SRS is triggered for at least one of:
an uplink beam management; and
a channel state information (CSI) acquisition.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting of the SRS comprises one of a periodic transmission, an aperiodic transmission, or a semi-persistent transmission.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the semi-persistent transmission of the SRSs is activated/deactivated by a medium access control control element (MAC CE), wherein the MAC CE is identified by a MAC subheader with a logic channel identifier (LCID).

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein, in response to first parameters indicating that an accumulated power control adjustment for the transmission of the SRSs is enabled, the determining of the first transmission power is further based on a combination of a first power value of an SRS transmission power adjustment state and a second power value, wherein:
the SRS transmission power adjustment state comprises an SRS transmission power adjustment state before the wireless device receives the first power control command; and
the second power value is indicated by the first power control command.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein, in response to first parameters indicating that an accumulated power control adjustment for the transmission of the SRSs is disabled, the determining of the first transmission power is further based on a second power value indicated by the first power control command.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein, in response to second configuration parameters indicating that an accumulated power control adjustment for the transmission of the uplink data channel is enabled, the determining of the second transmission power is further based on a combination of a first power value of an uplink data channel transmission power adjustment state and a second power value, wherein:
the uplink data channel transmission power adjustment state is an uplink data channel transmission power adjustment state before the wireless device receives the second power control command; and
the second power value is indicated by the second power control command.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)
