Abstract

A method performed by a wireless device configured with dual connectivity between a first group of cells and a second group of cells is provided. The method includes determining a limit of a power of transmission of a first uplink transmission in the first group of cells. The limit is determined based on an identified second uplink transmission in the second group of cells overlapping in time with the first uplink transmission. The method further includes setting the power of transmission for the first uplink transmission based on the limit. Methods performed by a first network node and/or a second network node are also provided.

Claims (28)

1. A method performed by a wireless device configured with dual connectivity between a first group of cells and a second group of cells, the method comprising:

determining a limit of a power of transmission of a first uplink transmission in the first group of cells, wherein the limit is determined based on an identified second uplink transmission in the second group of cells overlapping in time with the first uplink transmission, wherein the determining comprises:

using a first power limit to determine the power of transmission for the first uplink transmission when the wireless device detects a downlink grant or assignment set to trigger the second uplink transmission in the second group of cells that overlaps with the first uplink transmission where the downlink grant or assignment is detected before a first time offset immediately preceding a start of the first uplink transmission; and

in an absence of the detection of the downlink grant or assignment, using a second power limit to determine the power of transmission for the first uplink transmission; and

setting the power of transmission for the first uplink transmission based on the limit.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identified second uplink transmission in the second group of cells overlapping with the first uplink transmission is based on a detection of a downlink grant or assignment that triggers the second uplink transmission in the second group of cells that would overlap in time with the first uplink transmission.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the detection of a downlink grant or assignment that triggers the second uplink transmission is based on a second time offset in relation to a beginning of a time of transmission of the first uplink transmission.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the identified second uplink transmission is based on obtaining from a network node one or more parameters of the second group of cells.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the one or more parameters for the second group of cells comprises:

a time division duplex uplink or downlink configuration for transmission or reception on a serving cell or bandwidth portion, BWP, in the second group of cells;

a configuration for a transmission of at least one configured uplink grant for a serving cell or BWP in the second group of cells;

a slot format indicator for a serving cell or BWP in the second group of cells; and

at least one higher layer configured parameter.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the one or more parameters for the second group of cells is determined based on semi-static signalling.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the determining is further based on:

a prediction, based on the one or more parameters, of a first downlink transmission set to trigger the second uplink transmission, in a time period preceding a beginning of the transmission of the first uplink transmission; and

the detecting the first downlink transmission.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining comprises identifying that a combined power of transmission across the first group of cells and the second group of cells is less than a threshold amount of power.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining comprises using the limit to identify the power of transmission for the first uplink transmission.

10. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first time offset and the second time offset are the same.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first power limit is less than the second power limit.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first time offset is based on a capability signaling from the wireless device.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first time offset is based on whether a synchronous dual connectivity operation or an asynchronous dual connectivity operation is used.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first time offset includes a timing difference between the first group of cells and the second group of cells.

15. A wireless device comprising:

processing circuitry; and

memory coupled with the processing circuitry, wherein the memory includes instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry causes the wireless device to perform operations according to claim 1 .

16. A wireless device adapted to perform the steps of claim 1 .
