Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for configuring UL-TCI power control parameters. One method ( 400 ) includes receiving ( 402 ) an RRC message configuring a set of UL-TCI power control parameter groups. Each UL-TCI power control parameter group defines a group of power control parameters used to calculate an uplink transmission power. The method ( 400 ) includes receiving ( 404 ) DCI scheduling a codebook-based PUSCH transmission. The DCI comprises an UL-TCI field indicating at least one spatial domain transmission filter for the codebook-based PUSCH transmission. The method ( 400 ) includes determining ( 406 ) power control parameters for the codebook-based PUSCH transmission based on an UL-TCI power control parameter group of the set of UL-TCI power control parameter groups that corresponds to the UL-TCI field. The method ( 400 ) includes transmitting ( 408 ) the codebook-based PUSCH with a transmission power determined based on the power control parameters.
