Methods and apparatuses for enabling dm-rs filtering within a time period

A base station (BS) comprising:

• a transceiver configured to transmit:
• first information providing first transmit power control (TPC) commands, and
• second information providing a first number of slots for a reception of a channel;
• and
• a processor operably coupled to a transceiver, the processor configured to determine:
• a first set and a second set of reception occasions for the channel over the first number of slots,
• a first power based on a first power control adjustment state that is associated with a first reception occasion of the first set of reception occasions,
• an accumulated value of the first TPC commands, wherein the first TPC commands are transmitted within the first set of reception occasions,
• a second power control adjustment state, associated with a first reception occasion of the second set of reception occasions, based on the first power control adjustment state and the accumulated value of the first TPC commands, and
• a second power based on the second power control adjustment state,
• wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive the channel with:
• the first power in the reception occasions of the first set, and
• the second power in the reception occasions of the second set.
