Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may transmit procedure-specific uplink power parameters to one or more user equipments (UEs) in a cell. A UE may determine a procedure including one or more uplink transmissions. The UE may determine a transmit power level corresponding to the procedure based at least in part on the procedure-specific uplink power parameters. The UE may transmit the one or more uplink transmissions using the determined transmit power level.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, at a user equipment (UE), power configuration information indicating a plurality of procedure-specific values of an uplink power parameter, each procedure-specific value of the plurality of procedure-specific values being associated with a different uplink procedure of a plurality of uplink procedures;
- selecting an uplink procedure of the plurality of uplink procedures for an uplink transmission;
- selecting a procedure-specific value of the uplink power parameter from the plurality of procedure-specific values of the uplink power parameter that is associated with the uplink transmission based at least in part on the selected uplink procedure, the procedure-specific value for use as part of the selected uplink procedure;
- determining a transmit power level for the uplink transmission based at least in part on the selected procedure-specific value of the uplink power parameter;
- and
- transmitting the uplink transmission in accordance with the selected uplink procedure at the determined transmit power level.
