Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more configuration parameters indicating: one or more uplink power control sets; and a plurality of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for a cell. The wireless device transmits, in response to the one or more configuration parameters not comprising a two-power-headroom-report-mode (twoPHRMode) parameter that indicates to report two power headroom values associated with two sounding reference signal (SRS) resource sets of the cell, a power headroom medium-access control (MAC) control element (CE) indicating one Type 1 power headroom value for the cell. The one Type 1 power headroom value is determined using: first power control parameters in a first uplink power control set, of the one or more uplink power control sets, associated with a first TCI state of two indicated TCI states; and a first pathloss reference signal associated with the first TCI state.
