Abstract

A wireless device may determine a calculated total transmit power for a plurality of signals. The plurality of signals may include a first uplink signal and a second uplink signal. The first uplink signal may be configured for transmission, during a time interval, via one or more first cells of a first cell type. The second uplink signal may be configured for transmission, during the time interval, via one or more second cells of a second cell type. The wireless device may drop a transmission of the first uplink signal or scale a transmission power of the first uplink signal, based on a transmit power priority of the first uplink signal and in response to the calculated total transmit power exceeding a first value. The transmit power priority may be based on a cell type of the one or more first cells.

Claims (68)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters of:

one or more first cells of a first cell type; and

one or more second cells of a second cell type;

determining a calculated total transmit power for a plurality of signals comprising:

a first uplink signal configured for transmission, during a time interval, via the one or more first cells; and

a second uplink signal configured for transmission, during the time interval, via the one or more second cells; and

dropping a transmission of the first uplink signal or scaling a transmission power of the first uplink signal, based on a transmit power priority of the first uplink signal, in response to the calculated total transmit power exceeding a first value, wherein the transmit power priority is based on a cell type of the one or more first cells.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first uplink signal comprises a first sounding reference signal (SRS); and

the second uplink signal comprises a second SRS.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the first SRS is of a first SRS type; and

the second SRS is of a second SRS type.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to a base station, one or more parameters indicating that the wireless device supports an enhanced uplink signal transmission procedure, wherein the calculated total transmit power is determined in response to the one or more parameters being transmitted.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first value is a maximum allowed transmission power of the wireless device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first cell type operates in a licensed frequency band; and

the second cell type operates in an unlicensed frequency band.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first cell type is operating in a first frequency band; and

the second cell type is operating in a second frequency band.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first cell type operates based a first radio technology; and

the second cell type operates based on a second radio technology.

9. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive configuration parameters of:

one or more first cells of a first cell type; and

one or more second cells of a second cell type;

determine a calculated total transmit power for a plurality of signals comprising:

a first uplink signal configured for transmission, during a time interval, via the one or more first cells; and

a second uplink signal configured for transmission, during the time interval, via the one or more second cells; and

drop a transmission of the first uplink signal or scale a transmission power of the first uplink signal, based on a transmit power priority of the first uplink signal, in response to the calculated total transmit power exceeding a first value, wherein the transmit power priority is based on a cell type of the one or more first cells.

10. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein:

the first uplink signal comprises a first sounding reference signal (SRS); and

the second uplink signal comprises a second SRS.

11. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein:

the first SRS is of a first SRS type; and

the second SRS is of a second SRS type.

12. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to transmit, to a base station, one or more parameters indicating that the wireless device supports an enhanced uplink signal transmission procedure, wherein the calculated total transmit power is determined in response to the one or more parameters being transmitted.

13. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the first value is a maximum allowed transmission power of the wireless device.

14. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein:

the first cell type is operating in a licensed frequency band; and

the second cell type is operating in an unlicensed frequency band.

15. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:

transmit configuration parameters of:

one or more first cells of a first cell type; and

one or more second cells of a second cell type; and

receive:

a first uplink signal, during a time interval, via the one or more first cells; and

a second uplink signal, during the time interval, via the one or more second cells,

wherein a transmission power of the first uplink signal is scaled, based on a transmit power priority of the first uplink signal, in response to a calculated total transmit power of a plurality of signals comprising the first uplink signal and the second uplink signal exceeding a first value, and

wherein the transmit power priority is based on a cell type of the one or more first cells.

16. The base station of claim 15 , wherein:

the first uplink signal comprises a first sounding reference signal (SRS); and

the second uplink signal comprises a second SRS.

17. The base station of claim 16 , wherein:

the first SRS is of a first SRS type; and

the second SRS is of a second SRS type.

18. The base station of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the base station to receive, from a wireless device, one or more parameters indicating that the wireless device supports an enhanced uplink signal transmission procedure, wherein the calculated total transmit power is determined in response to the one or more parameters.

19. The base station of claim 15 , wherein the first value is a maximum allowed transmission power of a wireless device.

20. The base station of claim 15 , wherein:

the first cell type is operating in a licensed frequency band; and

the second cell type is operating in an unlicensed frequency band.
