Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a power headroom (PHR) value for a component carrier (CC) based at least in part on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission in the CC, wherein the PUSCH transmission includes a first repetition associated with a first set of power control parameters and a second repetition associated with a second set of power control parameters, and wherein the PHR value is determined based at least in part on one or more of the first repetition or the second repetition. The UE may transmit information identifying the PHR value for the CC. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims (61)

1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

a memory; and

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

determine one or more power headroom (PHR) values for a component carrier (CC) based at least in part on an earliest repetition, of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission in the CC, that overlaps with a slot in which the PUSCH transmission is transmitted; and

transmit information identifying the one or more PHR values for the CC.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more PHR values are determined using a set of power control parameters.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more PHR values are determined using a set of power control parameters corresponding to the earliest repetition of the PUSCH transmission that overlaps with the slot.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the CC is a first CC associated with a first subcarrier spacing and the information identifying the one or more PHR values for the first CC is transmitted on a second CC associated with a second subcarrier spacing.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive configuration information indicating the earliest repetition of the PUSCH transmission that overlaps with the slot.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more PHR values are determined based at least in part on a selected set of power control parameters, and wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive configuration information indicating the selected set of power control parameters.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the earliest repetition of the PUSCH transmission that overlaps with the slot is a first repetition;

wherein the PUSCH transmission includes a second repetition; and

wherein the one or more PHR values are determined based at least in part on the first repetition and the second repetition.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the one or more PHR values comprises a first PHR value for the first repetition and a second PHR value for the second repetition.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the information identifying the one or more PHR values identifies the first PHR value and the second PHR value.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the one or more PHR values are selected from a first PHR value for the first repetition and a second PHR value for the second repetition.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the earliest repetition of the PUSCH transmission that overlaps with the slot is a first repetition;

wherein the PUSCH transmission includes a second repetition; and

wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

transmit information indicating a particular repetition, of the first repetition or the second repetition, based at least in part on which of the one or more PHR values are determined.

12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

transmit information indicating a set of power control parameters based at least in part on which of the one or more PHR values are determined.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the information indicating the set of power control parameters is transmitted via PHR medium access control information for the CC.

14. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

select the set of power control parameters.

15. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the earliest repetition of the PUSCH transmission that overlaps with the slot is a first repetition associated with a first set of power control parameters; and

wherein the PUSCH transmission includes a second repetition associated with a second set of power control parameters.

16. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more PHR values comprise at least one of:

a PHR, or

a maximum output power.

17. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the earliest repetition of the PUSCH transmission that overlaps with the slot is a first repetition;

wherein the PUSCH transmission includes a second repetition; and

wherein the first repetition and the second repetition are associated with different beams.

18. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the earliest repetition of the PUSCH transmission that overlaps with the slot is a first repetition;

wherein the PUSCH transmission includes a second repetition; and

wherein the first repetition and the second repetition are associated with different precoders.

19. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the earliest repetition of the PUSCH transmission that overlaps with the slot is a first repetition associated with a first set of power control parameters;

wherein the PUSCH transmission includes a second repetition associated with a second set of power control parameters; and

wherein the first set of power control parameters is different than the second set of power control parameters.

20. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more PHR values are a first PHR value and the CC is a first CC, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

determine that a second PHR value for a second CC is to be determined based at least in part on a virtual PUSCH; and

determine the second PHR value based at least in part on a reference format.

21. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

determining one or more power headroom (PHR) values for a component carrier (CC) based at least in part on an earliest repetition, of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission in the CC, that overlaps with a slot in which the PUSCH transmission is transmitted; and

transmitting information identifying the one or more PHR values for the CC.

22. The method of claim 21 , wherein the one or more PHR values are determined using a set of power control parameters.

23. The method of claim 21 , wherein the one or more PHR values are determined using a set of power control parameters corresponding to the earliest repetition of the PUSCH transmission that overlaps with the slot.

24. The method of claim 21 , wherein the CC is a first CC associated with a first subcarrier spacing and the information identifying the one or more PHR values for the first CC is transmitted on a second CC associated with a second subcarrier spacing.

25. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:

determine one or more power headroom (PHR) values for a component carrier (CC) based at least in part on an earliest repetition, of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission in the CC, that overlaps with a slot in which the PUSCH transmission is transmitted; and

transmit information identifying the one or more PHR values for the CC.

26. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 25 , wherein the one or more PHR values are determined using a set of power control parameters.

27. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 25 , wherein the one or more PHR values are determined using a set of power control parameters corresponding to the earliest repetition of the PUSCH transmission that overlaps with the slot.
