Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a control node may determine at least one of a transmission power or a reception power for at least one of a first signal or a second signal to be communicated between a target wireless node and at least one other wireless node based at least in part on a priority level of the first signal relative to the second signal, wherein the transmission power or the reception power is based at least in part on at least one of an identity or state of the target wireless node or the at least one other wireless node, or a type of the first signal or the second signal; and configure the transmission power or the reception power to be used for the first signal or the second signal. Numerous other aspects are provided.
