Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE), operating in a serving cell, may adjust a transmit power of an uplink message when a neighboring cell is operating in an opposite direction (e.g., relative to the direction of communications in the serving cell) within a same or similar frequency band in a same time period. The UE may receive control signaling that indicates a first power control configuration to be used when the neighboring cell is operating in a same direction as the serving cell and a second power control configuration to be used when the neighboring cell is operating in a different direction from the serving cell. The UE may select the appropriate power control configuration based on the communications directions of the serving cell and the neighboring cell and may transmit the uplink message in accordance with the selected power control configuration.
