Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. A user equipment (UE) may configure a first initial set of maximum transmit powers for a first subscriber module. The UE may configure a second initial set of maximum transmit powers for a second subscriber module. The UE may configure a first maximum transmit power associated with a first connection for the first subscriber module. The UE may configure, independently of the configuration of the first maximum transmit power, a second maximum transmit power associated with the second connection. The UE may transmit based at least in part on at least one of the first maximum transmit power or the second maximum transmit power. Numerous other aspects are described.

Claims (23)

1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

establishing a first connection associated with a first subscriber module;

establishing a second connection associated with a second subscriber module;

configuring a first initial set of maximum transmit powers for the first subscriber module, wherein the first initial set of maximum transmit powers includes a first priority initial maximum transmit power and a second priority initial maximum transmit power;

configuring a second initial set of maximum transmit powers for the second subscriber module, wherein the second initial set of maximum transmit powers includes a third priority initial maximum transmit power and a fourth priority initial maximum transmit power;

configuring a first maximum transmit power associated with the first connection for the first subscriber module based at least in part on the first initial set of maximum transmit powers and compliance budget;

configuring, independently of the configuration of the first maximum transmit power, a second maximum transmit power associated with the second connection for the second subscriber module based at least in part on the compliance budget and the second initial set of maximum transmit powers; and

transmitting based at least in part on at least one of the first maximum transmit power or the second maximum transmit power.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein configuring the first maximum transmit power and the second maximum transmit power is based at least in part on an amount of unused energy of the compliance budget.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the amount of unused energy is based at least in part on a number of slots associated with no grant or a grant using less than all of an energy associated with a corresponding slot.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein transmitting based at least in part on at least one of the first maximum transmit power or the second maximum transmit power further comprises:

transmitting, during a time period associated with the second priority initial maximum transmit power for the first subscriber module, a communication associated with the first subscriber module at the first priority initial maximum transmit power based at least in part on the amount of unused energy of the compliance budget satisfying a threshold.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising transmitting, contemporaneously with the communication associated with the first subscriber module, a communication associated with the second subscriber module at the second maximum transmit power.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the communication is transmitted at the first maximum transmit power based at least in part on the communication being associated with a priority value that satisfies a threshold.

7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first subscriber module is associated with a first amount of unused energy used to configure the first maximum transmit power and the second subscriber module is associated with a second amount of unused energy used to configure the second subscriber module.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein configuring the first maximum transmit power and the second maximum transmit power further comprises configuring a power distribution in a time period based at least in part on the compliance budget, the first initial set of maximum transmit powers, and the second initial set of maximum transmit powers.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the power distribution is based at least in part on at least one of:

a predicted traffic pattern,

a randomized distribution, or

a pattern associated with the first initial set of maximum transmit powers.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting a power headroom report indicating a modified power headroom based at least in part on the first priority initial maximum transmit power and the second priority initial maximum transmit power.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first initial maximum transmit power and the second initial maximum transmit power are based at least in part on a data transmission on a default data subscriber module.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compliance budget is based at least in part on a maximum permissible energy limitation or a specific absorption rate limitation.
