Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, one or more slots in a set of DMRS-bundled slots are excluded from a DMRS-sharing power control configuration based on duplex-type. In another aspect, a fixed transmission power level for a DMRS-sharing power control configuration is based at least in part upon a duplex configuration of DMRS-bundled slots.
Claims30
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- at least one transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
- bundle a set of slots for transmissions in accordance with a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)-sharing power control configuration that maintains phase continuity by sharing DMRS to fix transmission power for the transmissions across the set of slots;
- determine a first transmission power level for a first transmission of first data associated with a first duplex type on a first slot of the set of slots in accordance with the DMRS-sharing power control configuration;
- determine to exclude a second transmission of second data associated with a second duplex type on a second slot of the set of slots from the DMRS-sharing power control configuration based at least in part upon the first transmission power level;
- transmit the first data associated with the first duplex type on the first slot at the first transmission power level in accordance with the DMRS-sharing power control configuration;
- and
- transmit the second data associated with the second duplex type on the second slot at a second transmission power level that is different than the first transmission power level.
A wireless node, comprising:
- a memory;
- at least one transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
- receive, via the at least one transceiver, a first transmission of first data associated with a first duplex type on a first slot of a set of slots, wherein the first data is transmitted by a user equipment (UE) at a first transmission power level in accordance with a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)-sharing power control configuration that maintains phase continuity by sharing DMRS to fix transmission power for transmissions across the set of slots;
- receive, via the at least one transceiver, a second transmission of second data associated with a second duplex type on a second slot of a set of slots, wherein the second data is transmitted by the UE at a second transmission power level;
- and
- determine that the second data is excluded from the DMRS-sharing power control configuration.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- at least one transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
- receive, via the at least one transceiver, a duplex configuration associated with a set of slots, wherein the duplex configuration comprises a first slot associated with a first duplex type and a second slot associated with a second duplex type;
- determine a fixed transmission power level for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)-sharing power control configuration that is based at least in part upon the duplex configuration;
- bundle the set of slots for transmissions in accordance with the DMRS-sharing power control configuration that maintains phase continuity by sharing DMRS to fix transmission power at the fixed transmission power level for the transmissions across the set of slots;
- transmit first data associated with the first duplex type on the first slot of the set of slots at the fixed transmission power level in accordance with the DMRS-sharing power control configuration;
- and
- transmit second data associated with the second duplex type on the second slot of the set of slots at the fixed transmission power level in accordance with the DMRS-sharing power control configuration.
A wireless node, comprising:
- a memory;
- at least one transceiver;
- and
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
- transmit, via the at least one transceiver, a duplex configuration associated with a set of slots, wherein the duplex configuration comprises a first slot associated with a first duplex type and a second slot associated with a second duplex type;
- receive, via the at least one transceiver, a first transmission of first data associated with the first duplex type on the first slot of a set of slots, wherein the first transmission is transmitted by a user equipment (UE) at a fixed transmission power level in accordance with a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)-sharing power control configuration that maintains phase continuity by sharing DMRS to fix transmission power for the transmissions across the set of slots, wherein the fixed transmission power level for the DMRS-sharing power control configuration is based at least in part upon the duplex configuration;
- and
- receive, via the at least one transceiver, a second transmission of second data associated with the second duplex type on the second slot of the set of slots at the fixed transmission power level in accordance with the DMRS-sharing power control configuration.
