Abstract

Methods are disclosed that enable a user equipment (UE) to receive cell specific, UE specific and, in some embodiments, Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) specific parameters from a network side component, such as a transmit/receive point, and use that information to set at least one PUSCH transmit power when transmitting to the network side.
