Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive downlink control information (DCI) that schedules an uplink communication in an uplink frequency band. The UE may transmit, at an uplink frequency within the uplink frequency band, the uplink communication with a power that varies over the uplink frequency band based at least in part on a location of the uplink frequency relative to a downlink frequency band associated with the UE. Numerous other aspects are provided.
