Unified power control framework for uplink transmissions

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• configuring a plurality of closed-loop power control loops (CLPCLs) for uplink transmission, wherein each CLPCL is associated with an index in a plurality of indexes, wherein each index in the plurality of indexes is unique to other indexes in the plurality of indexes;
• mapping each of a plurality of uplink transmission types to a respective CLPCL index from the plurality of indexes, wherein multiple uplink transmission types may be mapped to the same respective CLPCL index;
• receiving a power control command that includes a particular CLPCL index from the plurality of indexes;
• and
• adjusting transmit power for uplink transmission types mapped to the particular CLPCL index included in the received power control command.

A device for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processing system that includes one or more processors and one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors, the processing system configured to cause the device to:
• configure a plurality of closed-loop power control loops (CLPCLs) for uplink transmission from one or more user equipments (UEs), wherein each CLPCL is associated with an index in a plurality of indexes, wherein each index in the plurality of indexes is unique to other indexes in the plurality of indexes;
• assign mappings between a plurality of uplink transmission types and respective CLPCL indexes from the plurality of indexes, wherein multiple uplink transmission types may be mapped to the same respective CLPCL index;
• transmit signaling indicating the mappings to the one or more UEs;
• and
• transmit power control commands that include particular CLPCL indexes from the plurality of indexes to adjust transmit power for uplink transmission types mapped to the included particular CLPCL indexes.
