## Abstract

A wireless device may use different power control sets to communicate with different transmission reception points (TRPs). The power control set for communicating with a particular TRP may be selected from at least two power control sets configured for a resource (such as a bandwidth part (BWP)), for example, based on a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state corresponding to the particular TRP.
