Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to communication systems, and more particularly, to uplink transmit power control techniques.

Claims (52)

1. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

obtaining a first parameter, wherein the first parameter comprises a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicator (SRI) value;

obtaining a second parameter based at least in part on the first parameter;

obtaining a third parameter based at least in part on the first parameter, wherein the third parameter comprises an open-loop power control index;

determining transmit power for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission based at least part on the first, second, and third parameters; and

transmitting the PUSCH, using the transmit power.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second parameter comprises at least one of an indication of a downlink reference signal or an indication of a power control process.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising receiving signaling indicating at least one of:

a mapping of the SRI value to the indication of the downlink reference signal; or

a mapping of the SRI value to the open-loop power control index.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the signaling comprise radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the open-loop power control index used to obtain a combination of parameter values used to calculate the transmit power.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second parameter comprises a downlink reference signal index value.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the downlink reference signal index value corresponds to one among a synchronization signal block (SSB) resource index and a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource index.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRI value is obtained via a downlink control information (DCI) transmission that schedules the PUSCH transmission.

9. An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

means for obtaining a first parameter, wherein the first parameter comprises a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicator (SRI) value;

means for obtaining a second parameter based at least in part on the first parameter;

means for obtaining a third parameter based at least in part on the first parameter, wherein the third parameter comprises an open-loop power control index;

means for determining transmit power for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission based at least part on the first, second, and third parameters; and

means for transmitting the PUSCH, using the transmit power.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the second parameter comprises at least one of an indication of a downlink reference signal or an indication of a power control process.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , further comprising means for receiving signaling indicating at least one of:

a mapping of the SRI value to the indication of the downlink reference signal; or

a mapping of the SRI value to the open-loop power control index.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the signaling comprise radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

13. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the open-loop power control index used to obtain a combination of parameter values used to calculate the transmit power.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the second parameter comprises a downlink reference signal index value.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the downlink reference signal index value corresponds to one among a synchronization signal block (SSB) resource index and a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource index.

16. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the SRI value is obtained via a downlink control information (DCI) transmission that schedules the PUSCH transmission.

17. An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

at least one processor configured to:

obtain a first parameter, wherein the first parameter comprises a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicator (SRI) value;

obtain a second parameter based at least in part on the first parameter;

obtain a third parameter based at least in part on the first parameter, wherein the third parameter comprises an open-loop power control index; and

determine transmit power for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission based at least part on the first, second, and third parameters; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the PUSCH, using the transmit power.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the second parameter comprises at least one of an indication of a downlink reference signal or an indication of a power control process.

19. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the SRI value is obtained via a downlink control information (DCI) transmission that schedules the PUSCH transmission.

20. The apparatus of claim 18 , further comprising a receiver configured to receive signaling indicating at least one of:

a mapping of the SRI value to the indication of the downlink reference signal; or

a mapping of the SRI value to the open-loop power control index values.

21. The apparatus of claim 20 , wherein the signaling comprise radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

22. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the open-loop power control index used to obtain a combination of parameter values used to calculate the transmit power.

23. The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the second parameter comprises a downlink reference signal index value.

24. The apparatus of claim 23 , wherein the downlink reference signal index value corresponds to one among a synchronization signal block (SSB) resource index and a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource index.

25. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon for:

obtaining a first parameter, wherein the first parameter comprises a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicator (SRI) value;

obtaining a second parameter based at least in part on the first parameter;

obtaining a third parameter based at least in part on the first parameter, wherein the third parameter comprises an open-loop power control index;

determining transmit power for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission based at least part on the first, second, and third parameters; and

transmitting the PUSCH, using the transmit power.
