Abstract

A base station transmits configuration parameters of one or more first cells of a first cell type operating in a first frequency band and one or more second cells of a second cell type operating in a second frequency band. The base station receives a first uplink signal, during a time interval, via the one or more first cells, and a second uplink signal, during the time interval, via the one or more second cells, wherein a transmission power of the first uplink signal is scaled in response to a calculated total transmit power of a plurality of signals comprising the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal exceeding a first value.

Claims (31)

1 . A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station, configuration parameters of: one or more first cells of a first cell type operating in a first frequency band; and one or more second cells of a second cell type operating in a second frequency band; and

receiving: a first uplink signal, during a time interval, via the one or more first cells; and a second uplink signal, during the time interval, via the one or more second cells,

wherein a transmission power of the first uplink signal is scaled in response to a calculated total transmit power of a plurality of signals comprising the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal exceeding a first value.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a transmit power priority is scaled based on a transmit power priority of the first uplink signal.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the transmit power priority is based on a cell type of the one or more first cells.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein: the first uplink signal comprises a first sounding reference signal (SRS); and the second uplink signal comprises a second SRS.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein: the first SRS is of a first SRS type; and the second SRS is of a second SRS type.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from a wireless device, one or more parameters indicating that the wireless device supports an enhanced uplink signal transmission procedure, wherein the calculated total transmit power is determined in response to the one or more parameters.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first value is a maximum allowed transmission power of a wireless device.

8 . A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:

transmit configuration parameters of: one or more first cells of a first cell type operating in a first frequency band; and one or more second cells of a second cell type operating in a second frequency band; and

receive: a first uplink signal, during a time interval, via the one or more first cells; and a second uplink signal, during the time interval, via the one or more second cells,

wherein a transmission power of the first uplink signal is scaled in response to a calculated total transmit power of a plurality of signals comprising the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal exceeding a first value.

9 . The base station of claim 8 , wherein a transmit power priority is scaled based on a transmit power priority of the first uplink signal.

10 . The base station of claim 9 , wherein the transmit power priority is based on a cell type of the one or more first cells.

11 . The base station of claim 8 , wherein: the first uplink signal comprises a first sounding reference signal (SRS); and the second uplink signal comprises a second SRS.

12 . The base station of claim 11 , wherein: the first SRS is of a first SRS type; and the second SRS is of a second SRS type.

13 . The base station of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to receive, from a wireless device, one or more parameters indicating that the wireless device supports an enhanced uplink signal transmission procedure, wherein the calculated total transmit power is determined in response to the one or more parameters.

14 . The base station of claim 8 , wherein the first value is a maximum allowed transmission power of a wireless device.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a base station, cause the base station to:

transmit configuration parameters of: one or more first cells of a first cell type operating in a first frequency band; and one or more second cells of a second cell type operating in a second frequency band; and

receive: a first uplink signal, during a time interval, via the one or more first cells; and a second uplink signal, during the time interval, via the one or more second cells,

wherein a transmission power of the first uplink signal is scaled in response to a calculated total transmit power of a plurality of signals comprising the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal exceeding a first value.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein a transmit power priority is scaled based on a transmit power priority of the first uplink signal.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the transmit power priority is based on a cell type of the one or more first cells.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein: the first uplink signal comprises a first sounding reference signal (SRS) of a first SRS type; and the second uplink signal comprises a second SRS of a second SRS type.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to receive, from a wireless device, one or more parameters indicating that the wireless device supports an enhanced uplink signal transmission procedure, wherein the calculated total transmit power is determined in response to the one or more parameters.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the first value is a maximum allowed transmission power of a wireless device.
