Methods and apparatus to apply different power control commands for particular transmissions on a same channel

An apparatus for wireless communication at a User Equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• determine a first transmission power for a first transmission using first transmission power control parameters;
• transmit the first transmission using the first transmission power;
• determine a second transmission power for a re-transmission using second transmission power control parameters;
• and
• transmit the re-transmission using the second transmission power.

A method of wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

• transmitting a first power control command to a User Equipment (UE) for determining a first transmission power for a first transmission;
• transmitting a second power control command to the UE for determining a second transmission power for a re-transmission;
• and
• indicating a power offset to the UE for use in determining the second transmission power for the re-transmission.
