For example, if the angular separation of the first and the second transmission beams is greater than a first separation threshold, the WTRU may determine the uplink transmission power having a first maximum power level parameter and a second maximum power level parameter. If the angular separation of the first and the second transmission beams is less than a second separation threshold, the WTRU determine the uplink transmission power having a shared maximum power level parameter. The WTRU may transmit the first and second transmissions using the first and second transmission beams, respectively. | 2021-12-09 |
20210385760 | POWER CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS - The present disclosure discloses example power control methods and apparatuses. One example method includes determining a transmit power of a control channel and a first data subchannel, where the control channel and the first data subchannel completely overlap in time domain and do not overlap in frequency domain. A transmit power of a second data subchannel is determined to be the same as the transmit power of the control channel and the first data subchannel, where the second data subchannel and the control channel overlap in frequency domain and do not overlap in time domain. The control channel and the first data subchannel are sent to a second terminal apparatus at the transmit power of the control channel and the first data subchannel. The second data subchannel is sent to the second terminal apparatus at the transmit power of the control channel and the first data subchannel. | 2021-12-09 |

20210385765 | FLOATING SMTC FOR SSB-BASED RRM IN ASYNCHRONOUS NETWORKS - Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a floating synchronization signal block measurement timing configuration (SMTC) for SSB-based radio resource management (RRM) in asynchronous networks, such as new radio (NR). A base station (BS) determines a floating SMTC for measurement of a target cell and provides the floating SMTC to at least one user equipment (UE) in the serving cell, wherein the target cell and the serving cell are asynchronous. The BS determines a measurement gap that covers the floating SMTC. The UE monitors in the measurement gap for a SSB transmission of the target cell based on the floating SMTC. | 2021-12-09 |
20210385766 | TIMING ACCURACY FOR REFERENCE SIGNAL TRANSMISSION DURING USER EQUIPMENT (UE) POWER SAVING STATE - Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for UE positioning are described. In some embodiments, a UE is configured to transmit a reference signal to a network resource for performing measurements on the reference signal and deriving the position of the UE. The timing of the reference signal is tracked at a particular precision. The precision is based on a timing accuracy that the UE can support from different timing accuracies. The different timing accuracies may be supported, each of which may have a different set of timing error limits. For example, for an angular-based positioning of the UE, a low timing accuracy may be supported. In comparison, for a timing-based positioning method, a high timing accuracy may be supported. | 2021-12-09 |
