Abstract

A wireless device receives, from a base station transmits, 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 transmitted 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 (66)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device from a base station:

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

transmitting, to a base station, 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; and

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

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, 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:

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 a maximum transmit power of the wireless device.

4 . 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 second power exceeding a maximum transmit power of the wireless device.

5 . 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.

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

7 . 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.

8 . 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, from a base station:

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

transmit, to the base station, 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; and

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

9 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive, 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.

10 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the power value is a maximum transmit power of the wireless device.

11 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the power value is exceeded by the total transmission power based on a sum of the first power and second power exceeding a maximum transmit power of the wireless device.

12 . The wireless device of claim 8 , 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.

13 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the second type of radio access technology operates according to a release of LTE technology.

14 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more first uplink signals comprise:

one or more first sounding reference signals; or

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

transmit:

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:
