Managing wireless device transmission power
View Patent ↗A wireless device receives configuration parameters of cells comprising at least a first cell type operating on a first frequency band; and a second cell type operating on a second frequency band. A calculated total transmit power is determined for signals comprising: a first SRS configured for transmission in a subframe of the first cell type in the cells, and a second SRS configured for transmission in the subframe of the second cell type in the cells. At least one of the first SRS or the second SRS is dropped or scaled based on a transmit power priority of the first SRS and the second SRS when the calculated total power exceeds a first value. The transmit power priority is based on whether the first SRS or the second SRS is configured for transmission on the first frequency band or the second frequency band.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device, at least one message comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells comprising at least two cell types, the two cell types comprising:
a first cell type operating on a first frequency band; and
a second cell type operating on a second frequency band;
determining a calculated total transmit power for a plurality of signals comprising:
a first sounding reference signal (SRS) configured for transmission in a subframe of the first cell type in the plurality of cells; and
a second SRS configured for transmission in the subframe of the second cell type in the plurality of cells; and
dropping or scaling at least one of the first SRS or the second SRS based on a transmit power priority of the first SRS and the second SRS when the calculated total power exceeds a first value; and
wherein the transmit power priority is based on whether the first SRS or the second SRS is configured for transmission on the first frequency band or the second frequency band.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the first cell type operates on the first frequency band based on a first radio access technology; and
the second cell type operates on the second frequency band based on a second radio access technology.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein:
the first frequency band is a licensed frequency band; and
the second frequency band is an unlicensed frequency band.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein:
the first SRS is of a first SRS type; and
the second SRS is of a second SRS type.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the first frequency band is a licensed frequency band; and
the second frequency band is an unlicensed frequency band.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first value is a maximum allowed transmission power of the wireless device.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the first SRS is of a first SRS type; and
the second SRS is of a second SRS type.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting to a base station a second message comprising one or more second parameters, the one or more second parameters indicating that the wireless device supports an enhanced SRS transmission procedure.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting to a base station a second message comprising one or more second parameters, the one or more second parameters indicating that the wireless device supports configuration of an uplink for a cell of an unlicensed cell type.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scaling at least one of the first SRS or the second SRS comprises:
adjusting a transmit power of the at least one of the first SRS or the second SRS; and
transmitting the at least one of the first SRS or the second SRS in the subframe.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters comprise SRS configuration parameters, the SRS configuration parameters comprising an SRS bandwidth parameter and an SRS subframe configuration parameter.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second SRS is configured for transmission in response to receiving downlink control information from a base station.
13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting a transport block on at least one of the plurality of cells of the licensed cell type in the subframe.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein a second calculated total power is below the first value when at least one of the first SRS or the second SRS is dropped or scaled.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first SRS and the second SRS are configured for transmission in a last symbol of the subframe.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmit power priority is further based on whether the first SRS or the second SRS is transmitted adjacent to a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transport block.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein:
the first frequency band is a licensed frequency band; and
the second frequency band is an unlicensed frequency band.
18. The method of claim 16 , wherein:
the first SRS is of a first SRS type; and
the second SRS is of a second SRS type.
19. The method of claim 16 , wherein:
the first SRS is transmitted according to a first sounding procedure; and
the second SRS is transmitted according to a second sounding procedure different from the first sounding procedure.
20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the calculated total transmit power comprises:
a first transmit power of the first SRS; and
a second transmit power of the second SRS.
