Techniques for transmission power control with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces

An apparatus for wireless communications at a network entity, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one memory coupled with the at least one processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the at least one memory and executable by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit a control message indicating a plurality of parameter sets associated with calculation of a transmission power by a first user equipment (UE), wherein each parameter set of the plurality of parameter sets is associated with a communication link associated with a transmission by the first UE, a presence of one or more wireless nodes in proximity to the first UE, and whether the one or more wireless nodes are assisting the first UE or a second UE;
• transmit, to the first UE, an indication of a first communication state from a plurality of communication states, wherein the first communication state is associated with a first parameter set of the plurality of parameter sets;
• and
• communicate with the first UE based at least in part on transmitting the indication of the first communication state.

A method for wireless communications at a network entity, comprising:

• transmitting a control message indicating a plurality of parameter sets associated with calculation of a transmission power by a first user equipment (UE), wherein each parameter set of the plurality of parameter sets is associated with a communication link associated with a transmission by the first UE, a presence of one or more wireless nodes in proximity to the first UE, and whether the one or more wireless nodes are assisting the first UE or a second UE;
• transmitting, to the first UE, an indication of a first communication state from a plurality of communication states, wherein the first communication state is associated with a first parameter set of the plurality of parameter sets;
• and
• communicating with the first UE based at least in part on transmitting the indication of the first communication state.
