Power control for non-uniform message transmissions

A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving a first control signal indicating a power control parameter that is associated with a non-uniform probability of a message, wherein the non-uniform probability is associated with a probability of one or more bit values included in the message;
• performing a power scaling procedure for a codeword based at least in part on the power control parameter, wherein the codeword comprises the message;
• and
• transmitting the codeword based at least in part on the power scaling procedure.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communications, the code comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:

• receive a first control signal indicating a power control parameter that is associated with a non-uniform probability of a message, wherein the non-uniform probability is associated with a probability of one or more bit values included in the message;
• perform a power scaling procedure for a codeword based at least in part on the power control parameter, wherein the codeword comprises the message;
• and
• transmit the codeword based at least in part on the power scaling procedure.
