Abstract

A base station transmits, to a wireless device, a first maximum total transmit power (TTP) and a second maximum TTP allowed, respectively, for a first cell group and a second cell group of a second radio access technology (RAT) type different from a first RAT type of the first cell group. A total transmission power, based on a first power, for transmitting first uplink signals via the first cell group and not exceeding the first maximum TTP, and a second power for transmitting second uplink signals via the second cell group and not exceeding the second maximum TTP, exceeds a power value. The second uplink signals and not the first uplink signals are received based on a scheduled transmission of the first uplink signals being dropped based on: the total transmission power exceeding the power value, and the first RAT type having lower priority than the second RAT type.

Claims (64)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device:

a first maximum total transmit power allowed for a first cell group of a first type of radio access technology; and

a second maximum total transmit power allowed for a second cell group of a second type of radio access technology different from the first type of radio access technology, wherein a power value is determined by the wireless device to be exceeded by a total transmission power that is based on:

a first power for transmission of one or more first uplink signals via the first cell group, wherein the first power is less than or equal to the first maximum total transmit power; and

a second power for transmission of one or more second uplink signals via the second cell group, wherein the second power is less than or equal to the second maximum total transmit power; and

receiving, from the wireless device, at least one of the one or more second uplink signals and not the one or more first uplink signals based on a scheduled transmission of the one or more first uplink signals of the first cell group of the first type of radio access technology being dropped by the wireless device in response to:

the total transmission power exceeding the power value, wherein the power value is a maximum transmit power of the wireless device; and

the first type of radio access technology having a lower priority than the second type of radio access technology.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to the wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising first configuration parameters of a plurality of cells grouped in a plurality of cell groups comprising:

the first cell group comprising one or more first cells of the first type of radio access technology; and

the second cell group comprising one or more second cells of the second type of radio access technology.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power value is exceeded by the total transmission power based on a sum of the first power and the second power exceeding the maximum transmit power of the wireless device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first type of radio access technology operates in a licensed band; and

the second type of radio access technology operates in an unlicensed band.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second type of radio access technology operates according to a release of LTE technology.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first uplink signals comprise:

one or more first sounding reference signals; or

one or more first physical uplink shared channel signals.

7. 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, to a wireless device:

a first maximum total transmit power allowed for a first cell group of a first type of radio access technology; and

a second maximum total transmit power allowed for a second cell group of a second type of radio access technology different from the first type of radio access technology, wherein a power value is determined by the wireless device to be exceeded by a total transmission power that is based on:

a first power for transmission of one or more first uplink signals via the first cell group, wherein the first power is less than or equal to the first maximum total transmit power; and

a second power for transmission of one or more second uplink signals via the second cell group, wherein the second power is less than or equal to the second maximum total transmit power; and

receive, from the wireless device, at least one of the one or more second uplink signals and not the one or more first uplink signals based on a scheduled transmission of the one or more first uplink signals of the first cell group of the first type of radio access technology being dropped by the wireless device in response to:

the total transmission power exceeding the power value, wherein the power value is a maximum transmit power of the wireless device; and

the first type of radio access technology having a lower priority than the second type of radio access technology.

8. The base station of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the base station to transmit, to the wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising first configuration parameters of a plurality of cells grouped in a plurality of cell groups comprising:

the first cell group comprising one or more first cells of the first type of radio access technology; and

the second cell group comprising one or more second cells of the second type of radio access technology.

9. The base station of claim 7 , wherein the power value is exceeded by the total transmission power based on a sum of the first power and the second power exceeding the maximum transmit power of the wireless device.

10. The base station of claim 7 , wherein:

the first type of radio access technology operates in a licensed band; and

the second type of radio access technology operates in an unlicensed band.

11. The base station of claim 7 , wherein the second type of radio access technology operates according to a release of LTE technology.

12. The base station of claim 7 , wherein the one or more first uplink signals comprise:

one or more first sounding reference signals; or

one or more first physical uplink shared channel signals.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

receive:

a first maximum total transmit power allowed for a first cell group of a first type of radio access technology; and

a second maximum total transmit power allowed for a second cell group of a second type of radio access technology that is different from the first type of radio access technology;

determine a total transmission power exceeds a power value, wherein the total transmission power is based on:

a first power for transmission of one or more first uplink signals via the first cell group, wherein the first power is less than or equal to the first maximum total transmit power; and

a second power for transmission of one or more second uplink signals via the second cell group, wherein the second power is less than or equal to the second maximum total transmit power; and

drop a scheduled transmission of the one or more first uplink signals of the first cell group of the first type of radio access technology, in response to:

the determining the total transmission power exceeds the power value, wherein the power value is a maximum transmit power of the wireless device; and

transmit, to a base station, at least one of the one or more second uplink signals.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive, from the base station, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising first configuration parameters of a plurality of cells grouped in a plurality of cell groups comprising:
