Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may receive one or more downlink control information (DCI) transmissions including a plurality of transmit power control (TPC) commands. The plurality of TPC commands may relate to an uplink channel transmit power for a plurality of uplink beam-pairs. The wireless communication device may determine the uplink channel transmit power for the plurality of uplink beam-pairs based at least in part on the plurality of TPC commands. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims (63)

1 . A method of wireless communication, comprising:

receiving, by a wireless communication device, one or more downlink control information (DCI) transmissions including a plurality of transmit power control (TPC) commands,

the plurality of TPC commands relating to transmit power for a plurality of uplink channels,

a first TPC command, of the plurality of TPC commands, corresponding to a first type of channel, and

a second TPC command, of the plurality of TPC commands, corresponding to a second type of channel; and

determining, by the wireless communication device, a first transmit power for the first type of channel based on the first TPC command and a second transmit power for the second type of channel based on the second TPC command.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of uplink channels are transmitted as part of a directional beam.

3 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first type of channel is a shared data channel, and

wherein the second type of channel is a control channel.

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

transmitting on the shared data channel using the first transmit power; and

transmitting on the control channel using the second transmit power.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of TPC commands are provided via a multicast transmission.

6 . The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the multicast transmission does not include a set of padding bits, and

wherein a quantity of TPC bits of the multicast transmission is associated with a quantity of TPC commands of the plurality of TPC commands.

7 . The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the multicast transmission includes a set of padding bits,

wherein the set of padding bits includes information associated with the plurality of TPC commands.

8 . A device for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:

receive one or more downlink control information (DCI) transmissions including a plurality of transmit power control (TPC) commands,

the plurality of TPC commands relating to transmit power for a plurality of uplink channels,

a first TPC command, of the plurality of TPC commands, corresponding to a first type of channel, and

a second TPC command, of the plurality of TPC commands, corresponding to a second type of channel; and

determine a first transmit power for the first type of channel based on the first TPC command and a second transmit power for the second type of channel based on the second TPC command.

9 . The device of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of uplink channels are transmitted as part of a directional beam.

10 . The device of claim 8 ,

wherein the first type of channel is a shared data channel, and

wherein the second type of channel is a control channel.

11 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

transmit on the shared data channel using the first transmit power; and

transmit on the control channel using the second transmit power.

12 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication, the one or more instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

receive one or more downlink control information (DCI) transmissions including a plurality of transmit power control (TPC) commands,

the plurality of TPC commands relating to transmit power for a plurality of uplink channels,

a first TPC command, of the plurality of TPC commands, corresponding to a first type of channel, and

a second TPC command, of the plurality of TPC commands, corresponding to a second type of channel; and

determine a first transmit power for the first type of channel based on the first TPC command and a second transmit power for the second type of channel based on the second TPC command.

13 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of uplink channels are transmitted as part of a directional beam.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 ,

wherein the first type of channel is a shared data channel, and

wherein the second type of channel is a control channel.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:

transmit on the shared data channel using the first transmit power; and

transmit on the control channel using the second transmit power.

16 . An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

means for receiving one or more downlink control information (DCI) transmissions including a plurality of transmit power control (TPC) commands,

the plurality of TPC commands relating to transmit power for a plurality of uplink channels,

a first TPC command, of the plurality of TPC commands, corresponding to a first type of channel, and

a second TPC command, of the plurality of TPC commands, corresponding to a second type of channel; and

means for determining a first transmit power for the first type of channel based on the first TPC command and a second transmit power for the second type of channel based on the second TPC command.

17 . The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the plurality of uplink channels are transmitted as part of a directional beam.

18 . The apparatus of claim 16 ,

wherein the first type of channel is a shared data channel, and

wherein the second type of channel is a control channel.

19 . The apparatus of claim 18 , further comprising:

means for transmitting on the shared data channel using the first transmit power; and

means for transmitting on the control channel using the second transmit power.

20 . The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the plurality of TPC commands are provided via a multicast transmission.
