In one embodiment, a method ( 300 ) of a UE comprises selecting, in response to MPE event being detected, N SSB or CSI-RS resources according to the virtual PH of each SSB or CSI-RS resource within a candidate resource pool for a cell, where N is an integer equal to or larger than 1, wherein each virtual PH is computed by (I) where (II) is computed assuming MPR=0 dB, A-MPR=0 dB, ΔT c =0 and P-MPR is the virtual P-MPR of there source, PL (q d ) is the DL channel pathloss calculated by taking the SSB or CSI-RS resource as the PL-RS, P O_PUSCH, b, f, c and α are obtained by the power control parameters used for PUSCH associated with the current indicated UL TCI state with separate DL and UL TCI or the joint DL/UL TCI state with joint DL/UL TCI, or it is assumed that P O_PUSCH, b, f, c =0 and α=1, and f b, f, c =0 ( 302 ); and transmitting an MPE MAC CE including P-MPR of the MPE event and N pairs of virtual P-MPR and SSBRI or CRI, each SSBRI or CRI corresponds to one of the selected N SSB or CSI-RS resources ( 304 ).
