SL power control

Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for sidelink (SL) power control. A user equipment (UE) includes a transceiver configured to receive, from a second UE, a first sidelink (SL) reference signal (RS) and receive, from the second UE, information related to a transmit power for the first SL RS. The UE further includes a processor operably coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to calculate a first filtered RS receive power (RSRP) for the first SL RS, calculate a first pathloss for the first SL RS based on a difference between the transmit power and the first filtered RSRP, and determine, based on the first pathloss, a first power for a first SL channel. The transceiver is further configured to transmit, based on a first spatial domain transmission filter, the first SL channel using the first power. The first spatial domain transmission filter is associated with the first SL RS.
