Power control determination for control channel repetitions

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• at least one processor,
• memory coupled with the at least one processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to:
• identify a configuration for one or more repetitions of an uplink control channel transmission, the configuration indicating a first quantity of repetitions of the one or more repetitions, and each repetition of the one or more repetitions comprising a first quantity of symbols indicated by the configuration;
• determine a power level for each repetition of the one or more repetitions based at least in part on the first quantity of symbols;
• identify that a second quantity of symbols available to the UE to transmit a repetition of the one or more repetitions is less than the first quantity of symbols;
• determine, for the repetition on the second quantity of symbols, to use the power level determined based at least in part on the first quantity of symbols;
• and
• transmit, to a base station, the repetition on the second quantity of symbols in accordance with the power level.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for identifying a configuration for one or more repetitions of an uplink control channel transmission, the configuration indicating a first quantity of repetitions of the one or more repetitions, and each repetition of the one or more repetitions comprising a first quantity of symbols indicated by the configuration;
• means for determining a power level for each repetition of the one or more repetitions based at least in part on the first quantity of symbols;
• means for identifying that a second quantity of symbols available to the UE to transmit a repetition of the one or more repetitions is less than the first quantity of symbols;
• means for determining, for the repetition on the second quantity of symbols, to use the power level determined based at least in part on the first quantity of symbols;
• and
• means for transmitting, to a base station, the repetition on the second quantity of symbols in accordance with the power level.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor of a user equipment (UE) to:

• identify a configuration for one or more repetitions of an uplink control channel transmission, the configuration indicating a first quantity of repetitions of the one or more repetitions, and each repetition of the one or more repetitions comprising a first quantity of symbols indicated by the configuration;
• determine a power level for each repetition of the one or more repetitions based at least in part on the first quantity of symbols;
• identify that a second quantity of symbols available to the UE to transmit a repetition of the one or more repetitions is less than the first quantity of symbols;
• determine, for the repetition on the second quantity of symbols, to use the power level determined based at least in part on the first quantity of symbols;
• and
• transmit, to a base station, the repetition on the second quantity of symbols in accordance with the power level.
