Closed loop power control enhancements for single downlink control information based simultaneous physical uplink shared channel transmissions

A method of a radio access network (RAN), comprising:

• sending, to a user equipment (UE) having a first antenna panel and a second antenna panel, a first downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on the first antenna panel and a second PUSCH on the second antenna panel that is simultaneous with the first PUSCH;
• sending, to the UE, a first TPC command corresponding to the first antenna panel and a second TPC command corresponding to the second antenna panel;
• and
• simultaneously receiving, from the UE, the first PUSCH on a first transmission reception point (TRP) of the RAN and a second PUSCH on a second TRP of the RAN.

A method of a user equipment (UE) having a first antenna panel and a second antenna panel, comprising:

• receiving, from a network, a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a first transmit power control (TPC) command and a second TPC command;
• selecting a selected TPC command from the first TPC command and the second TPC command to use to determine a closed loop transmit power factor for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on the first antenna panel;
• determining the closed loop transmit power factor for the PUSCH by applying the selected TPC command to a stored closed loop transmit power factor corresponding to the PUSCH;
• and
• transmitting the PUSCH on the first antenna panel using a transmit power that is based on the closed loop transmit power factor.
