Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure generally relates to wireless communication networks, and more specifically, to methods and apparatus for uplink transmission of information about multiple panels in a wireless communication system. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid growth in demand for transmitting large amounts of data to and from mobile communication devices, traditional mobile voice communication networks have evolved into networks that communicate with Internet Protocol (IP) packets. This type of IP packet communication can provide users of mobile communication devices with IP-bearing voice, multimedia, multicast, and video-on-demand communication services.

[0003] An exemplary network architecture is the Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN). E-UTRAN systems can provide high data throughput to enable the aforementioned IP-based voice and multimedia services. Currently, the 3GPP standards organization is discussing next-generation (e.g., 5G) radio technologies. Therefore, changes to the current core of the 3GPP standards are currently being submitted and considered to facilitate their evolution and completion. Summary of the Invention

[0004] According to this disclosure, one or more apparatuses and / or methods are provided. In an example from the perspective of a user equipment (UE), the UE receives one or more uplink grants for scheduling a first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission on a first serving cell. The first uplink transmission is associated with a first timing advance (TA). The second uplink transmission is associated with a second TA. The first uplink transmission at least partially overlaps with the second uplink transmission in the time domain. Based on a comparison of the TA difference between the first TA and the second TA with a first threshold, the UE transmits at least one of the first uplink transmission or the second uplink transmission.

[0005] In an example from the UE's perspective, the UE receives one or more uplink grants for scheduling a first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission on a first serving cell, wherein the first uplink transmission at least partially overlaps with the second uplink transmission in the time domain. The UE determines whether to perform parallel transmission of the first and second uplink transmissions based on a comparison of a transmission power value with a first threshold, wherein the transmission power value is based on a combination of a first transmission power of the first uplink transmission and a second transmission power of the second uplink transmission. The UE transmits the first uplink transmission and / or the second uplink transmission based on the determination of whether to perform parallel transmission of the first and second uplink transmissions. For example, the UE may perform parallel transmission of the first and second uplink transmissions on the first serving cell based on a transmission power value less than or equal to the first threshold.

[0025] The exemplary wireless communication systems and apparatus described below employ wireless communication systems that support broadcast services. Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication, such as voice, data, etc. These systems may be based on Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), or the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). rd The Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio access, 3GPP LTE-A or LTE Advanced (LTE Advanced), 3GPP2 Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), WiMax, 3GPP New Radio (NR) radio access for 5G, or some other modulation techniques.

[0026] Specifically, the exemplary wireless communication system apparatus described below can be designed to support one or more standards, such as those provided by an association known as the "3rd Generation Partnership Project" (referred to herein as 3GPP), including: 3GPP TS 38.321 V16.5.0 (2021-06) 3rd Generation Partnership Project, Technical Specification Group Radio Access Networks, NR, Media Access Control (MAC) Protocol Specification (Revision 16); 3GPP TS 38.331 V16.5.0 (2021-06) 3rd Generation Partnership Project, Technical Specification Group Radio Access Networks, NR, Radio Resource Control (RRC) Protocol Specification (Revision 16); 3GPP TS 38.212 V16.6.0 (2021-06) 3rd Generation Partnership Project, Technical Specification Group Radio Access Networks, NR, Multiplexing and Channel Decoding (Revision 16); 3GPP TS 38.213 Version 16.6.0 (2021-06) 3rd Generation Partnership Project, Technical Specification Group Radio Access Networks, NR, Physical Layer Procedure for Control (Version 16); 3GPP TS 38.214 Version 16.6.0 (2021-06) 3rd Generation Partnership Project, Technical Specification Group Radio Access Networks, NR, Physical Layer Procedure for Data (Version 16); Final Report of 3GPP TSG RAN WG1#104-e v1.0.0 (Online Meeting, January 25 - February 5, 2021); Final Report of 3GPP TSG RAN WG1#104bis-e v1.0.0 (Online Meeting, April 12-20, 2021); 3GPP TSG RAN WG1#105-e Draft report of v0.2.0 (online meeting, May 10-27, 2021); R1-2104266, Huawei HiSilicon; R1-2009060, Asia Pacific Telecom; R1-2008573, LG; 3GPP TS 38.101-2V17.2.0 (2021-06) Third Generation Partnership Project, Technical Specification Group Radio Access Networks, NR, User Equipment (UE) Radio Transmission and Reception, Part 2: Scope 2 Independent (Revision 17) The standards and documents listed above are hereby expressly incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0027] Figure 1 A multiple access wireless communication system according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure is presented. Access network 100 (AN) includes multiple antenna groups, one antenna group including 104 and 106, another antenna group including 108 and 110, and yet another antenna group including 112 and 114. Figure 1In this diagram, only two antennas are shown for each antenna group, but each antenna group may utilize more or fewer antennas. Access terminal 116 (AT) communicates with antennas 112 and 114, where antennas 112 and 114 transmit information to access terminal 116 via forward link 120 and receive information from access terminal 116 via reverse link 118. AT 122 communicates with antennas 106 and 108, where antennas 106 and 108 transmit information to AT 122 via forward link 126 and receive information from AT 122 via reverse link 124. In a frequency-division duplex (FDD) system, communication links 118, 120, 124, and 126 may use different frequencies for communication. For example, forward link 120 may use a different frequency than that used by reverse link 118.

[0028] Each antenna group and / or the area in which they are designed to communicate is often referred to as a sector of the access network. In an embodiment, each antenna group may be designed to communicate with an access terminal in a sector of the area covered by access network 100.

[0029] In communications via forward links 120 and 126, the transmit antennas of access network 100 can utilize beamforming to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the forward links for different access terminals 116 and 122. Furthermore, compared to an access network that transmits to all its access terminals via a single antenna, an access network using beamforming to transmit to access terminals randomly distributed throughout its coverage area typically causes less interference to access terminals in neighboring cells.

[0030] An access network (AN) can be a fixed station or base station used for communication with terminals, and may also be referred to as an access point, Node B, base station, enhanced base station, eNodeB (eNB), next-generation NodeB (gNB), or some other term. An access terminal (AT) may also be referred to as user equipment (UE), wireless communication device, terminal, access terminal, or some other term.

[0031] Figure 2 An embodiment of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system 200 is presented, comprising a transmitter system 210 (also referred to as an access network) and a receiver system 250 (also referred to as an access terminal (AT) or user equipment (UE)). At the transmitter system 210, service data for several data streams can be provided from a data source 212 to a transport (TX) data processor 214.

[0032] In one embodiment, each data stream is transmitted via a corresponding transmit antenna. The TX data processor 214 formats, decodes, and interleaves the service data of the data stream based on a specific decoding scheme selected for each data stream to provide decoded data.

[0033] Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology can be used to multiplex the decoded data and pilot data of each data stream. The pilot data can typically be a known data pattern processed in a known manner and can be used at the receiver system to estimate the channel response. The multiplexed pilot and decoded data for the data stream can then be modulated (i.e., symbol mapped) based on a specific modulation scheme selected for each data stream (e.g., binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK), or M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM)) to provide modulated symbols. The data rate, decoding, and / or modulation for each data stream can be determined by instructions executed by processor 230.

[0034] The modulation symbols of the data stream are then provided to the TX MIMO processor 220, which can further process the modulation symbols (e.g., for OFDM). The TX MIMO processor 220 then... T A modulation symbol stream is provided to N T Transmitters (TMTRs) 222a to 222t. In some embodiments, the TX MIMO processor 220 may apply beamforming weights to symbols of the data stream and the antennas from which the symbols are transmitted.

[0035] Each transmitter 222 receives and processes a corresponding symbol stream to provide one or more analog signals, and further modulates (e.g., amplifies, filters, and / or up-converts) the analog signals to provide a modulated signal suitable for transmission via a MIMO channel. Then, signals can be transmitted from N... T Antennas 224a to 224t transmit N from transmitters 222a to 222t. T A modulated signal.

[0036] At receiver system 250, by N R Antennas 252a to 252r receive the transmitted modulated signal and can provide the signal received from each antenna 252 to a corresponding receiver (RCVR) 254a to 254r. Each receiver 254 can adjust (e.g., filter, amplify, and down-convert) the corresponding received signal, digitize the adjusted signal to provide a sample, and / or further process the sample to provide a corresponding "received" symbol stream.

[0037] The RX data processor 260 then uses specific receiver processing technology from NR Each receiver 254 receives and / or processes N R A received symbol stream to provide N T Each detected symbol stream is then demodulated, deinterleaved, and / or decoded by the RX data processor 260 to recover the service data of the data stream. The processing performed by the RX processor 260 can complement the processing performed by the TX MIMO processor 220 and the TX data processor 214 at the transmitter system 210.

[0038] Processor 270 can periodically determine which pre-decoded matrix to use (discussed below). Processor 270 formulates a reverse link message including a matrix index portion and a rank portion.

[0039] The reverse link message may include various types of information related to the communication link and / or the received data stream. The reverse link message may then be processed by the TX data processor 238 (which may also receive service data from several data streams from the data source 236), modulated by the modulator 280, regulated by the transmitters 254a to 254r, and / or transmitted back to the transmitter system 210.

[0040] At transmitter system 210, the modulated signal from receiver system 250 is received via antenna 224, conditioned by receiver 222, demodulated by demodulator 240, and processed by RX data processor 242 to extract the reverse link message transmitted through receiver system 250. Next, processor 230 determines which pre-decoding matrix to use to determine beamforming weights, and then processes the extracted message.

[0041] Figure 3 An alternative simplified functional block diagram of a communication device according to one embodiment of the disclosed subject matter is presented. For example... Figure 3 As shown, this can be achieved using the communication device 300 in a wireless communication system. Figure 1 UE (or AT) 116 and 122 or Figure 1The communication device 300 includes a base station (or AN) 100, and the wireless communication system can be an LTE system or an NR system. The communication device 300 may include an input device 302, an output device 304, a control circuit 306, a central processing unit (CPU) 308, a memory 310, program code 312, and a transceiver 314. The control circuit 306 executes the program code 312 in the memory 310 via the CPU 308, thereby controlling the operation of the communication device 300. The communication device 300 can receive signals input by a user via the input device 302 (e.g., a keyboard or keypad) and can output images and sounds via the output device 304 (e.g., a display or speaker). The transceiver 314 is used to receive and transmit wireless signals to pass the received signals to the control circuit 306 and wirelessly output signals generated by the control circuit 306. The communication device 300 in the wireless communication system can also be used to implement... Figure 1 AN100 in the middle.

[0042] Figure 4 This is an embodiment based on the disclosed subject matter. Figure 3 The diagram shows a simplified block diagram of program code 312. In this embodiment, program code 312 includes an application layer 400, a layer 3 portion 402, and a layer 2 portion 404, and is coupled to a layer 1 portion 406. Layer 3 portion 402 performs radio resource control. Layer 2 portion 404 performs link control. Layer 1 portion 406 performs and / or implements physical connections.

[0043] In 3GPP TS 38.321 V16.5.0, procedures for maintaining timing alignment and power headroom reporting are discussed. Notably, section 6.1.3.8 of 3GPP TS 38.321 V16.5.0 is titled "Single Entry PHR MAC CE". Figure 6 .1.3.8-1 is reproduced in this paper as Figure 5 The title of section 6.1.3.9 in 3GPP TS 38.321V16.5.0 is "Multiple Entry PHR MAC CE with the highest ServCellIndex of Serving Cell with configured uplink is less than 8". Figure 6 .1.3.9-1 is reproduced in this paper as Figure 6The following quotes one or more parts of 3GPP TS 38.321 V16.5.0:

[0044] 5.2 Uplink Time Alignment Maintenance

[0045] The RRC configuration uses the following parameters to maintain UL time alignment:

[0046] -timeAlignmentTimer(per TAG) controls how long the MAC entity considers a serving cell belonging to the associated TAG to be in uplink time alignment.

[0047] MAC entities will:

[0048] 1> When the timing advance command MAC CE is received, and if N has been maintained with the indicated TAG, TA (As defined in TS 38.211[8]), then:

[0049] 2> Apply timing advance commands to the indicated TAG;

[0050] 2> Start or restart the timeAlignmentTimer associated with the indicated TAG.

[0051] 1> When a timing advance command is received in a random access response message for a serving cell belonging to a TAG or in an MSGB for SpCell:

[0052] 2> If the MAC entity does not select a random access preamble from the contention-based random access preambles, then:

[0053] 3> Apply timing advance commands to this TAG;

[0054] 3> Start or restart the timeAlignmentTimer associated with this TAG.

[0055] 2> Otherwise, if the timeAlignmentTimer associated with this TAG is not running, then:

[0056] 3> Apply timing advance commands to this TAG;

[0057] 3> Start the timeAlignmentTimer associated with this TAG;

[0058] 3> When a contention resolution is deemed unsuccessful as described in Section 5.1.5; or

[0059] 3> When contention resolution is considered successful for an SI request as described in Section 5.1.5, after transmitting HARQ feedback for the MAC PDU containing the UE contention resolution identifier MAC CE:

[0060] 4> Stop the timeAlignmentTimer associated with this TAG.

[0061] 2> Otherwise:

[0062] 3> Ignore received timing advance commands.

[0063] 1> When an absolute timing advance command is received in response to an MSGA transmission containing C-RNTI MAC CE as specified in Section 5.1.4a:

[0064] 2> Apply the timing advance command of PTAG;

[0065] 2> Start or restart the timeAlignmentTimer associated with PTAG.

[0066] 1> When the timeAlignmentTimer expires:

[0067] 2> If timeAlignmentTimer is associated with PTAG, then:

[0068] 3. Clear all HARQ buffers for all serving cells;

[0069] 3> Notify RRC to release PUCCHs used for all serving cells (if configured);

[0070] 3> Notify RRC to release SRS for all serving cells (if configured);

[0071] 3> Clear any configured downlink assignments and configured uplink permissions;

[0072] 3> Remove any PUSCH resources used for semi-static CSI reporting;

[0073] 3> It is assumed that all timeAlignmentTimers in operation have expired;

[0074] 3> Maintain N for all tags TA (defined in TS 38.211[8]).

[0075] 2> Otherwise, if timeAlignmentTimer is associated with STAG, then all serving cells belong to this TAG:

[0076] 3> Clear all HARQ buffers;

[0077] 3> Notify RRC to release PUCCH (if configured);

[0078] 3> Notify RRC to release SRS (if configured);

[0079] 3> Clear any configured downlink assignments and configured uplink permissions;

[0080] 3> Remove any PUSCH resources used for semi-static CSI reporting;

[0081] 3> Maintaining N for this TAG TA (defined in TS 38.211[8]).

[0082] When a MAC entity stops uplink transmission due to the fact that the maximum uplink transmission timing difference between TAGs of the MAC entity or the maximum uplink transmission timing difference between TAGs of any MAC entity of the UE has been exceeded, the MAC entity considers the timeAlignmentTimer associated with the SCell to have expired.

[0083] When the timeAlignmentTimer associated with the TAG to which the serving cell belongs is not running, the MAC entity will not perform any uplink transmissions on the serving cell, except for the random access preamble and MSGA transmissions. Furthermore, when the timeAlignmentTimer associated with the PTAG is not running, the MAC entity will not perform any uplink transmissions on any serving cell, except for the random access preamble and MSGA transmissions on the SpCell.

[0084] 5.4.6 Power Margin Report

[0085] The power margin reporting program is used to provide the following information to the serving gNB:

[0086] - Type 1 power margin: The difference between the nominal maximum UE transmit power for UL-SCH transmission in the activated serving cell and the estimated power;

[0087] - Type 3 power margin: The difference between the nominal maximum UE transmit power for SRS transmission in the activated serving cell and the estimated power;

[0088] -MPE P-MPR: Power back-off that meets the MPE FR2 requirements for the serving cell to operate on FR2.

[0089] RRC controls power headroom reporting by configuring the following parameters:

[0090] -phr-PeriodicTimer;

[0091] -phr-ProhibitTimer;

[0092] -phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange;

[0093] -phr-Type2OtherCell;

[0094] -phr-ModeOtherCG;

[0095] -multiplePHR;

[0096] -mpe-Reporting-FR2;

[0097] -mpe-ProhibitTimer;

[0098] -mpe-Threshold.

[0099] A Power Headroom Report (PHR) will be triggered if any of the following events occur:

[0100] - When a MAC entity has UL resources for a new transmission, the phr-ProhibitTimer expires or has expired, and for at least one active serving cell of any MAC entity used as a path loss reference since the last transmission of the PHR in this MAC entity, the change in path loss is greater than phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange dB, and the DL BWP in the action of the MAC entity is not a dormant BWP.

[0101] Note 1: The path loss change of a cell evaluated above is between the path loss measured at the current time on the current path loss reference and the path loss measured at the time of the last transmitted PHR on the path loss reference used at that time, regardless of whether the path loss reference has changed between the two. For this purpose, the current path loss reference does not include any path loss reference configured using pathlossReferenceRS-Pos in TS 38.331[5].

[0102] -phr-PeriodicTimer expired;

[0103] - The power margin reporting functionality is not used to disable the function after it has been configured or reconfigured by the upper layer;

[0104] -Activate any SCell with a configured uplink for any MAC entity, where firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id is not set to sleep BWP;

[0105] - Addition of PSCell (i.e., the latest addition or change of PSCell);

[0106] - When a MAC entity has UL resources for a new transmission, the phr-ProhibitTimer expires or has expired, and for any of the active serving cells with a configured uplink for any MAC entity, the following condition holds:

[0107] - There are UL resources allocated for transmission or there is PUCCH transmission on this cell, and due to power management (such as the P-MPR specified in TS38.101-1

[14] , TS 38.101-2

[15] and TS 38.101-3

[16] ). c (As permitted) transmission, starting from the last transmission of PHR when the MAC entity allocated UL resources for transmission or PUCCH transmission on this cell, the change in the required power backoff of this cell has exceeded phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange dB.

[0108] -After switching an activated BWP from a sleeping BWP to a non-sleeping DL BWP with any MAC entity having a configured uplink;

[0109] - If mpe-Reporting-FR2 is configured and mpe-ProhibitTimer is not running, then:

[0110] - Since the last transmission of the PHR in this MAC entity, the measured P-MPR used to satisfy the FR2 MPE requirements specified in TS 38.101-2

[15] is equal to or greater than the mpe-Threshold of at least one active FR2 serving cell; or

[0111] - Since the last transmission of PHR, the measured change of P-MPR for satisfying the FR2 MPE requirements as specified in TS 38.101-2

[15] is greater than the phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange of at least one activated FR2 serving cell, because the measured P-MPR for satisfying the MPE requirements is equal to or greater than the mpe-Threshold in this MAC entity.

[0112] In this case, the PHR is referred to below as the 'MPE P-MPR Report'.

[0113] Note 2: The MAC entity should avoid triggering PHR when the required power back-off due to power management is only temporarily reduced (e.g., for tens of milliseconds), and when PHR is triggered by other triggering conditions, it should avoid reflecting P... CMAX,f,c This temporary decrease in pH value.

[0114] Note 3: If the HARQ process is configured to use cg-RetransmissionTimer and if the PHR is already included in the MAC PDU for transmission through this HARQ process, but has not yet been transmitted through the lower layer, then how the PHR content is handled depends on the UE implementation scheme.

[0115] If the MAC entity has UL resources allocated for the new delivery, the MAC entity will:

[0116] 1> If it is the first UL resource allocated for a new transfer since the last MAC reset, then:

[0117] 2> Start phr-PeriodicTimer.

[0118] 1> If the power headroom reporting procedure determines that at least one PHR has been triggered and not canceled; and

[0119] 1> If, due to the LCP defined in section 5.4.3.1, the allocated UL resource can accommodate the MAC entity configured to transmit the PHR's MAC CE plus its sub-header:

[0120] 2> If the configuration has a multiplePHR value of true:

[0121] 3> For each active serving cell with a configured uplink, the configured uplink is associated with any MAC entity whose active DL BWP is not a sleeping BWP:

[0122] 4> Obtain the type 1 or type 3 power margin value for the corresponding uplink carrier, as specified in section 7.7 of TS 38.213[6] for NR serving cells and section 5.1.1.2 of TS 36.213

[17] for E-UTRA serving cells;

[0123] 4> If this MAC entity has allocated UL resources for transmission on this serving cell; or

[0124] 4> If another MAC entity (if configured) has UL resources allocated for transmission on this serving cell, and phr-ModeOtherCG is set to real by the upper layer:

[0125] 5> Obtain the corresponding P from the physical layerCMAX,f,c The value of the field.

[0126] 5> If mpe-Reporting-FR2 is configured, this serving cell operates on FR2, and this serving cell is associated with this MAC entity, then:

[0127] 6> Obtain the value of the corresponding MPE field from the physical layer.

[0128] 3> Based on the values ​​reported by the physical layer, instruct the multiplexing and assembling procedures to generate and transmit multi-entry PHR MAC CEs, as defined in section 6.1.3.9.

[0129] 2> Otherwise (i.e., use the single-entry PHR format):

[0130] 3> Obtain the type 1 power margin value of the corresponding uplink carrier of PCell from the physical layer;

[0131] 3> Obtain the corresponding P from the physical layer CMAX,f,c The value of the field;

[0132] 3> If mpe-Reporting-FR2 is configured and this serving cell operates on FR2, then:

[0133] 4> Obtain the value of the corresponding MPE field from the physical layer.

[0134] 3> Based on the value reported by the physical layer, instruct the multiplexing and assembling procedures to generate and transmit entries PHR MAC CE, as defined in section 6.1.3.8.

[0135] 2> If this PHR report is an MPE P-MPR report, then:

[0136] 3> Start or restart mpe-ProhibitTimer;

[0137] 3> Cancel the triggered MPE P-MPR report for the serving cell included in PHR MAC CE.

[0138] 2> Start or restart phr-PeriodicTimer;

[0139] 2> Start or restart phr-ProhibitTimer;

[0140] 2> Cancel all triggered PHRs.

[0141] …

[0142] 6.1.3.8 Single Entry PHR MAC CE

[0143] A single entry PHR MAC CE is identified by a MAC subheader with LCID, as specified in Table 6.2.1-2.

[0144] It has a fixed size and consists of two octets defined as follows ( Figure 6 .1.3.8-1):

[0145] -R: Reserved bit, set to 0;

[0146] - Power headroom (PH): This field indicates the power headroom level. This field is 6 bits long. The reported PH and the corresponding power headroom level are shown in Table 6.1.3.8-1 below (the corresponding measured values ​​in dB are specified in TS38.133

[11] );

[0151] 6.1.3.9 Multi-entry PHR MAC CE

[0152] Multiple entries PHR MAC CE are identified by a MAC subheader with LCID, as specified in Table 6.2.1-2.

[0153] It has a variable size and contains a bitmap, a type 2PH field, and an associated P containing a SpCell for another MAC entity. CMAX,f,c The field (if reported) contains eight bytes, the type 1PH field, and the associated P field for PCell. CMAX,f,c The field (if reported) is an octet. It also contains one or more X PH fields of type X, ordered in ascending order based on ServCellIndex, and an associated P field for the serving cell other than the PCell indicated in the bitmap. CMAX,f,c Eight-bit bytes of the field (if reported). According to TS 38.213[6] and TS 36.213

[17] , X is 1 or 3.

[0155] When the highest ServCellIndex of a serving cell with a configured uplink is less than 8, a single octet bitmap is used to indicate the presence of the PH for each serving cell; otherwise, four octets are used.

[0156] The MAC entity determines whether the PH value of the active serving cell is based on a real transmission or a reference format by considering the configured grant and the downlink control information containing the PDCCH timing received up to the PDCCH timing, in which a first UL grant is received for a new transmission of a MAC CE that can adapt to the PHR due to the LCP as defined in Section 5.4.3.1, because if a PHR MAC CE is reported on the uplink grant received on the PDCCH, then the PHR has been triggered, or if a PHR MAC CE is reported on the configured grant, then the PHR is triggered up to the first uplink symbol of the PUSCH transmission minus the PUSCH preparation time as defined in Section 7.7 of TS 38.213[6].

[0157] For frequency band combinations where the UE does not support dynamic power sharing, the UE may omit eight bytes, which contain the power margin field of the serving cell in another MAC entity besides the PCell in the other MAC entity, and P... CMAX,f,c Fields, and PCell's power margin and P CMAX,f,c The reported value depends on the UE implementation scheme.

[0160] -R: Reserved bit, set to 0;

[0161] -V: This field indicates whether the PH value is based on actual transmission or a reference format. For type 1 PH, a V field set to 0 indicates actual transmission on PUSCH, and a V field set to 1 indicates the use of the PUSCH reference format. For type 2 PH, a V field set to 0 indicates actual transmission on PUCCH, and a V field set to 1 indicates the use of the PUCCH reference format. For type 3 PH, a V field set to 0 indicates actual transmission on SRS, and a V field set to 1 indicates the use of the SRS reference format. Furthermore, for types 1, 2, and 3 PH, a V field set to 0 indicates the presence of an associated P... CMAX,f,c The eight-bit bytes of the field and the MPE field, with the V field set to 1 indicating the presence of an associated P.CMAX,f,c The field is an octet and the MPE field is omitted;

[0188] 7.3.1.1.2 Format 0_1

[0189] DCI format 0_1 ​​is used for scheduling one or more PUSCHs in a cell, or to indicate CG downlink feedback information (CG-DFI) to the UE.

[0190] The following information is transmitted via DCI format 0_1, where the CRC is scrambled by C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, SP-CSI-RNTI, or MCS-C-RNTI:

[0191] -DCI format identifier-1 bit

[0192] - This field is always set to 0, indicating UL DCI format.

[0193] - Carrier indicator - 0 or 3 bits, as defined in Section 10.1 of [5, TS38.213].

[0194] -DFI flag- 0 or 1 bit ...

[0196] If DCI format 0_1 ​​is used to indicate CG-DFI, then set all remaining fields as follows:

[0210] In 3GPP TS 38.213V16.6.0, PHR and power control are discussed in one or more sections cited below:

[0211] 7 Uplink Power Control

[0212] …

[0213] 7.1.1 UE Behavior

[0214] If the UE transmits PUSCH on carrier f of serving cell c using parameter set configuration with index j and PUSCH power control adjustment state with index l, then the UE will transmit PUSCH at PUSCH transmission time i with PUSCH transmission power P. PUSCH,b,f,c (i,j,q d ,l) determined as

[0215]

[0216] in,

[0217] -P CMAX,f,c (i) is the maximum output power configured for the UE in the carrier f of serving cell c in PUSCH transmission timing i, as defined in [8-1, TS 38.101-1], [8-2, TS38.101-2] and [8-3, TS38.101-3].

[0218] -P O_PUSCH,b,f,c (j) is composed of component P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c (j) and component P O_UE_PUSCH,b,f,c The parameters are composed of the sum of (j), where j∈{0,1,...,J-1}.

[0219] - If the UE establishes a dedicated RRC connection using the Type 1 random access procedure described in Section 8, and is not provided with a P0-PUSCH-AlphaSet or is not used for a PUSCH (re)transmission corresponding to the RAR UL permission described in Section 8.3,

[0220] j = 0, P O_UE_PUSCH,b,f,c (0) = 0, and P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c (0)=P O_PRE +Δ PREAMBLE_Msg3 ,

[0221] Where P O_PREProvided by preambleReceivedTargetPower[11, TS 38.321], while Δ PREAMBLE_Msg3 Provided by msg3-DeltaPreamble, if no msg3-DeltaPreamble is provided for carrier f of serving cell c, then Δ PREAMBLE_Msg3 =0

[0222] -For j∈{2,...,J-1}=S J Provided by p0-NominalWithGrant, applicable to all j∈S J P O_NOMINAL_ PUSCH,f,c (j) value, or if p0-NominalWithGrant is not provided for each carrier f of serving cell c, then P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c (j)=P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c (0), and for the role of carrier f in serving cell c, UL BWP b, a set of P is provided by a set of p0 in the P0-PUSCH-AlphaSet indicated by the corresponding set of p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId. O_UE_PUSCH,b,f,c (j) value

[0223] - If more than one value of p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId is provided to the UE by SRI-PUSCH-PowerControl and if the DCI format of the scheduled PUSCH transmission contains an SRI field, the UE obtains the mapping between the set of SRI field values ​​of the DCI format [5, TS 38.212] from sri-PUSCH-PowerControl and the index set provided by p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId mapped to the set of P0-PUSCH-AlphaSet values, and determines the P based on the p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId value mapped to the SRI field value. O_UE_PUSCH,b,f,c The value of (j). If the DCI format also contains an open-loop power control parameter set indication field, and the value of the open-loop power control parameter set indication field is '1', then the UE determines P from the first value in the P0-PUSCH-Set. O_UE_PUSCH,b,f,c The value of (j), where the p0-PUSCH-SetId value is mapped to the SRI field value.

[0224] -For α b,f,c (j)

[0225] -For j∈S J A set of α b,f,c(j) The value is provided by a set of alphas in the P0-PUSCH-AlphaSet, which is a corresponding set of p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetIds indicating the active UL BWPb for carrier f of serving cell c.

[0226] If more than one value of SRI-PUSCH-PowerControl and p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId is provided to the UE, and if the DCI format of the scheduled PUSCH transmission contains an SRI field, the UE obtains the mapping between the set of SRI field values ​​of the DCI format [5, TS 38.212] from the sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId in SRI-PUSCH-PowerControl and the index set provided by p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId which is mapped to the set of P0-PUSCH-AlphaSet values, and determines α based on the p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId value mapped to the SRI field value. b,f,c The value of (j)

[0227] - μ is the bandwidth of PUSCH resource allocation on UL BWP b, represented by the number of resource blocks at PUSCH transmission time i, in the action of carrier f in serving cell c, and μ is the SCS configuration-PL defined in [4, TS 38.211]. b,f,c (q d The reference signal (RS) index q of the DL BWP is the carrier f of the serving cell c used by the UE, as described in section 12. d Calculated downlink path loss estimate in dB

[0228] If the UE is configured with several RS resource indexes, up to a value of maxNrofPUSCH-PathlossReferenceRSs, and a set of corresponding RS configurations for the several RS resource indexes reaching PUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS, then the set of RS resource indexes may contain one or both of a set of SS / PBCH block indexes and a set of CSI-RS resource indexes. Each SS / PBCH block index is provided by ssb-Index when the value of the corresponding pusch-PathlossReferenceRS-Id is mapped to the SS / PBCH block index, and each CSI-RS resource index is provided by csi-RS-Index when the value of the corresponding pusch-PathlossReferenceRS-Id is mapped to the CSI-RS resource index. The UE identifies the RS resource index q in the RS resource index set. dThis corresponds to the SS / PBCH block index or CSI-RS resource index provided by pusch-PathlossReferenceRS-Id in PUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS.

[0229] If more than one value of SRI-PUSCH-PowerControl and PUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS-Id is provided to the UE, the UE obtains a mapping between a set of SRI field values ​​in DCI format for scheduling PUSCH transmissions and a set of PUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS-Id values ​​from the sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId in SRI-PUSCH-PowerControl, and determines the RS resource index q based on the value of PUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS-Id mapped to the SRI field value. d The RS resource is on serving cell c or (if provided) on serving cell PL as indicated by the value of pathlossReferenceLinking. b,f,c (q d = referenceSignalPower - higher-layer filter RSRP, where referenceSignalPower is provided by higher layers, and the RSRP of the reference serving cell is defined in [7, TS 38.215], and the higher-layer filter configuration of the reference serving cell provided by QuantityConfig is defined in [12, TS 38.331].

[0230] If the UE is not configured to receive periodic CSI-RS, referenceSignalPower is provided by ss-PBCH-BlockPower. If the UE is configured to receive periodic CSI-RS, referenceSignalPower is provided via ss-PBCH-BlockPower or via powerControlOffsetSS, thus providing the offset of the CSI-RS transmit power relative to the SS / PBCH block transmit power [6, TS 38.214]. If powerControlOffsetSS is not provided to the UE, the UE assumes an offset of 0 dB.

[0231] 7.7 Power Margin Report

[0232] The following are the types of UE power headroom reports. Type 1 UE power headroom (PH) is valid on UL BWP b during PUSCH transmission timing i in service cell c, while on carrier f. Type 3 UE power headroom (PH) is valid on UL BWP b during SRS transmission timing i in service cell c, while on carrier f.

[0233] The UE determines whether the power headroom report of the activated serving cell [11, TS 38.321] is based on actual transmission or a reference format, which is based on higher-layer signaling with configuration permission and periodic / semi-static sounding reference signal transmission, and downlink control information received by the UE before the PDCCH listening time that includes the PDCCH listening time. The UE detects either the first DCI format 0_0 or the DCI format 0_1 ​​of the initial transmission of the scheduled transport block, because a power headroom report is triggered if it is reported on a PUSCH triggered by the first DCI format. Otherwise, the UE determines whether the power headroom report is based on actual transmission or a reference format, which is based on higher-layer signaling with configuration permission and periodic / semi-static sounding reference signal transmission, and the first uplink symbol minus T' transmitted via the configured PUSCH. proc,2 =T proc,2 Previously received downlink control information by the UE, where it is assumed that d 2,1 =1, d 2,2 =0,T proc,2 As determined according to [6, TS 38.214], and wherein if a power headroom report is configured to be reported on the PUSCH, then μ DL This corresponds to the subcarrier spacing of the downlink BWP used in the configured and authorized scheduling cell.

[0234] 7.7.1 Type 1 pH Report

[0235] If the UE determines that the Type 1 power headroom report of the activated serving cell is based on actual PUSCH transmission, then for the PUSCH transmission timing i on UL BWP b during the action of carrier f in serving cell c, the UE will calculate the Type 1 power headroom report as follows:

[0236]

[0237] P is defined in section 7.1.1. CMAX,f,c (i), P O_PUSCH,b,f,c (j) α b,f,c (j), PL b,f,c (q d ), Δ TF,b,f,c (i) and f b,f,c (i,l).

[0238] If the UE is configured to use multiple cells for PUSCH transmission, wherein the SCS configuration on UL BWP b1 in the action of carrier f1 in serving cell c1 and on UL BWP b2 in the action of carrier f2 in serving cell c2 is the same, and if the UE provides a Type 1 power margin report for PUSCH transmission in a time slot on the action UL BWP b1, then the UE provides a Type 1 power margin report for the first PUSCH (if present) in a time slot on the action UL BWP b2 that overlaps with the time slot on the action UL BWP b1.

[0239] If the UE determines that the Type 1 power headroom report of the activated serving cell is transmitted based on the reference PUSCH, then for the PUSCH transmission timing i on UL BWP b during the action of carrier f in serving cell c, the UE calculates the Type 1 power headroom report as follows:

[0240]

[0241] Assuming MPR = 0 dB, A-MPR = 0 dB, and P-MPR = 0 dB, then calculate... ΔT C = 0dB. MPR, A-MPR, P-MPR, and ΔTC are defined in [8-1, TS 38.101-1], [8-2, TS38.101-2], and [8-3, TS 38.101-3]. The remaining parameters are defined in section 7.1.1, where P... O_PUSCH,b,f,c (j) and α b,f,c (j) Using P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,f,c (0) and p0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId=0 are obtained, PL b,f,c (q d The reference is obtained using pusch-PathlossReferenceRS-Id=0 and l=0.

[0242] In 3GPP TS 38.214V16.6.0, codebook-based Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) and non-codebook-based PUSCH transmission are discussed in one or more sections cited below:

[0243] 6.1.1 Transmission Scheme

[0244] For PUSCH, two transmission schemes are supported: codebook-based transmission and non-codebook-based transmission. When the higher-level parameter txConfig in pusch-Config is set to 'codebook', the UE is configured to use codebook-based transmission; when txConfig is set to 'nonCodebook', the UE is configured to use non-codebook-based transmission. If the higher-level parameter txConfig is not configured, the UE is not expected to be scheduled by DCI format 0_1 ​​or 0_2.

[0245] 6.1.1.1 Codebook-based UL transmission

[0246] For codebook-based transmissions, the PUSCH can be scheduled by DCI format 0_00, DCI format 0_1, or DCI format 0_2, or semi-statically configured to operate according to section 6.1.2.3. If this PUSCH is scheduled by DCI format 0_1, DCI format 0_2, or semi-statically configured to operate according to section 6.1.2.3, the UE determines its PUSCH transmission pre-decoder based on SRI, TPMI, and transmission class, where SRI, TPMI, and transmission class are given by the DCI fields and the number of layers of the SRS resource indicator and pre-decoding information for DCI formats 0_1 and 0_2 in sections 7.3.1.1.2 and 7.3.1.1.3 of [5, TS 38.212], or by srs-ResourceIndicator and precodingAndNumberOfLayers according to section 6.1.2.3. The SRS-ResourceSets applicable to PUSCHs scheduled by DCI format 0_1 ​​and DCI format 0_2 are defined by entries in the higher-level parameters srs-ResourceSetToAddModList and srs-ResourceSetToAddModListDCI-0-2 in the SRS-config, respectively. Only one SRS resource set can be configured in srs-ResourceSetToAddModList, where the higher-level parameter usage in the SRS-ResourceSet is set to 'codebook', and only one SRS resource set can be configured in srs-ResourceSetToAddModListDCI-0-2, where the higher-level parameter usage in the SRS-ResourceSet is set to 'codebook'. TPMI is used to indicate the pre-decoder to be applied on layer {0…ν-1} corresponding to the SRS resource selected by the SRI when multiple SRS resources are configured, or if a single SRS resource is configured, then TPMI is used to indicate the pre-decoder to be applied on layer {0…ν-1} corresponding to the SRS resource. The transmit pre-decoder is selected from an uplink codebook with an antenna port number equal to the higher-layer parameter nrofSRS-Ports in the SRS-Config, as defined in section 6.3.1.5 of [4, TS 38.211]. When the UE is configured to use the higher-layer parameter txConfig set to 'codebook', the UE is configured to use at least one SRS resource. The indicated SRI in slot n is associated with the latest transmission of the SRS resource identified by the SRI, where the SRS resource precedes the SRI carried by the PDCCH.

[0247] …

[0248] According to section 6.1.2.3, the UE should transmit PUSCH using the same antenna port as the SRS port in the SRS resource indicated by DCI format 0_1 ​​or 0_2 or configuredGrantConfig.

[0249] The DM-RS antenna port in section 6.4.1.1.3 of [4, TS38.211] The DM-RS port order is determined according to Tables 7.3.1.1.2-6 to 7.3.1.1.2-23 in Section 7.3.1.1.2 of [5, TS38.212].

[0250] …

[0251] 6.1.1.2 Non-codebook-based UL transmission

[0252] For non-codebook-based transmissions, the PUSCH can be scheduled by DCI format 0_0 0, DCI format 0_1, or DCI format 0_2, or semi-statically configured to operate according to section 6.1.2.3. If this PUSCH is scheduled by DCI format 0_1, DCI format 0_2, or semi-statically configured to operate according to section 6.1.2.3, the UE can determine its PUSCH pre-decoder and transmission class based on the SRI when multiple SRS resources are configured, where the SRI is given by the SRS resource indicator in the DCI for DCI format 0_1 ​​and DCI format 0_2 according to sections 7.3.1.1.2 and 7.3.1.1.3 of [5, 38.212], or the SRI is given by the srs-ResourceIndicator according to section 6.1.2.3. The SRS-ResourceSets applicable to PUSCHs scheduled by DCI format 0_1 ​​and DCI format 0_2 are defined by entries in the higher-layer parameters srs-ResourceSetToAddModList and srs-ResourceSetToAddModListDCI-0-2 in the SRS-config, respectively. The UE should use one or more SRS resources for SRS transmission. The maximum number of SRS resources that can be configured for simultaneous transmission within the same symbol in the SRS resource set, and the maximum number of SRS resources, depends on the UE. Simultaneously transmitted SRS resources occupy the same RB. Each SRS resource is configured with only one SRS port. Only one SRS resource set can be configured in srs-ResourceSetToAddModList, where the higher-layer parameter usage in SRS-ResourceSet is set to 'nonCodebook', and only one SRS resource set can be configured in srs-ResourceSetToAddModListDCI-0-2, where the higher-layer parameter usage in SRS-ResourceSet is set to 'nonCodebook'. The maximum number of SRS resources configurable for non-codebook-based uplink transmission is 4. The SRI indicated in slot n is associated with the latest delivery of the SRS resource identified by the SRI, where the SRS delivery precedes the SRI carried by the PDCCH.

[0253] For non-codebook-based transmissions, the UE can calculate the pre-decoder for SRS transmission based on measurements of the associated NZP CSI-RS resource. For an SRS resource set, the UE can only be configured to use one NZP CSI-RS resource, where, if configured, the higher-layer parameter usage in the SRS-ResourceSet is set to 'nonCodebook'.

[0254] The UE shall execute a one-to-one mapping from the indicated SRI to the indicated DM-RS port and its corresponding PUSCH layer {0…ν-1} as given by the DCI format 0_1 ​​or the configuredGrantConfig according to section 6.1.2.3 in ascending order.

[0255] The UE shall transmit PUSCH using the same antenna port as the SRS port in the SRS resource indicated by the SRI given in DCI format 0_1 ​​or according to configuredGrantConfig in section 6.1.2.3, where the SRS port index of the (i+1)th SRS resource in the SRS resource set is p. i =1000+i.

[0256] Based on the order of the DM-RS ports given in Tables 7.3.1.1.2-6 to 7.3.1.1.2-23 in Section 7.3.1.1.2 of [5, TS 38.212], determine the DM-RS antenna ports in Section 6.4.1.1.3 of [4, TS 38.211].

[0257] For non-codebook-based transmissions, the UE is not expected to be configured to use the spatialRelationInfo of the SRS resource and the associated CSI-RS in the SRS-ResourceSet of the SRS resource set.

[0258] For non-codebook-based transmission, when at least one SRS resource is configured in the SRS-ResourceSet, and usage is set to 'nonCodebook', the UE can schedule using DCI format 0_1.

[0259] In 3GPP TS 38.101 V17.2.0, the transmit power and / or output power of the UE are discussed in one or more sections cited below:

[0260] 6.2.4 Configured transmission power

[0261] The UE can configure its maximum output power. The maximum output power P of the UE is configured for carrier f of serving cell c. CMAX,f,c It is defined as the power available for a reference point for a given transmitter branch, which corresponds to the reference point for RSRP measurements after high-level filtering as specified in TS 38.215

[11] .

[0262] The configured maximum output power P of the carrier f of serving cell c. CMAX,f,c It should be set so that the corresponding measured peak value EIRP P UMAX,f,c Within the following limits

[0263] P Powerclass +ΔP IBE -MAX(MAX(MPR f,c A-MPR f,c ,)+ΔMB P,n P-MPR f,c )-

[0264] MAX{T(MAX(MPR f,c A-MPR f,c ,)),T(P-MPR f,c )}≤P UMAX,f,c ≤EIRP max

[0265] Simultaneously, the corresponding measured total radiated power P TMAX,f,c The boundary is

[0266] P TMAX,f,c ≤TRP max

[0267] Where P Powerclass It is the UE power level specified in section 6.2.1, EIRP max It is the applicable maximum EIRP, MPR specified in section 6.2.1. f,c As specified in section 6.2.2, A-MPR f,c As specified in section 6.2.3, ΔMB P,n It is the peak EIRP relaxation specified in section 6.2.1, and TRP max This is the maximum TRP of the UE power level specified in section 6.2.1. If the UE declares support for mpr-PowerBoost-FR2-r16, the UL transmission is QPSK, and MPR... f,c =0, and when NS_200 is applied and the network configures the UE to operate as mpr-PowerBoost-FR2-r16, then ΔP IBE It is 1.0dB, otherwise ΔP IBE It's 0.0dB. P-MPR f,c This means that the maximum output power is reduced due to power management.

[0268] The following terms and assumptions may be used in combination.

[0269] ● Base Station (BS): In New Radio (NR), a network central unit and / or network node used to control one or more Transmit and / or Receive Points (TRPs) associated with one or more cells. Communication between the base station and one or more TRPs may be via fronthaul. A base station may be referred to as a Central Unit (CU), eNB, gNB, and / or NodeB.

[0270] ●TRP: A TRP can provide network coverage and / or communicate directly with the UE. A TRP can be referred to as a Distributed Unit (DU) and / or a Network Node.

[0271] ● Cell: A cell comprises one or more associated TRPs (e.g., the coverage area of ​​a cell may include the coverage areas of some and / or all of its associated TRPs). A cell can be controlled by a single base station. Cells may be referred to as a TRP group (TRPG).

[0272] In NR Rel-15 / 16 (NR Rel 15 and / or 16), a UE can perform uplink transmissions via a single UE panel. In NR Rel-17 (NR Rel 17), a UE can perform uplink transmissions via multiple UE panels using a time-division multiplexing (TDM) mechanism (e.g., to meet stringent reliability requirements). For example, a UE can perform uplink transmissions via a single active UE panel within a single time slot (e.g., a time slot). Transmission reliability can be improved (and / or transmissions can meet more stringent reliability requirements) by transmitting on different UE panels. However, in NR Rel-18 (NR Rel 18), with the introduction of more services requiring high data rates, higher levels of uplink transmission can be considered. In some implementations, multiple UE panels can be used via a spatial domain for parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions to provide higher data rates. For example, more than one active UE panel can be used (and / or considered) at a given time (e.g., a UE can use multiple active UE panels for uplink transmissions at a given time). Alternatively and / or additionally, services with reliability and latency can be improved by parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions via different UE panels (e.g., performing uplink transmissions in parallel via different UE panels can meet more stringent reliability and / or latency requirements). The time-frequency resources used for parallel (e.g., simultaneous) transmissions via multiple panels can be the same time-frequency resources. Alternatively and / or additionally, the time-frequency resources used for parallel (e.g., simultaneous) transmissions via multiple panels can have at least partially overlapping time resources and / or at least partially overlapping frequency resources (e.g., where the time-frequency resources used for transmissions via a first panel at least partially overlap with the time-frequency resources used for transmissions via a second panel in the time or frequency domain). However, parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions via more than one UE panel (e.g., on one carrier) may require enhanced UE capabilities. Even when the network identifies and / or recognizes that the UE can perform parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions via more than one UE panel, it may be unclear how, when, and / or under what conditions the network can schedule the UE to perform parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions via multiple UE panels. Alternatively and / or additionally, how the network can determine (e.g., become aware of) when parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions are unavailable (e.g., due to Maximum Possible Exposure (MPE) limits and / or power limitations) may require further design. Without a suitable design, due to the unavailability of transmissions via multiple UE panels, the UE may perceive a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling uplink transmissions via multiple UE panels as an inconsistent DCI, or the UE may perceive a DCI scheduling uplink transmissions for an active panel (e.g., when the DCI is actually scheduling uplink transmissions for multiple UE panels), leading to a discrepancy between the network and the UE's understanding.Therefore, further design may be needed regarding how to align the network and UE (e.g., how to align the network and UE) for parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions via multiple UE panels.

[0273] Preferably, the UE is capable of performing parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions via multiple UE panels (e.g., multiple individual and / or different UE panels). The UE can switch from parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions (e.g., parallel uplink transmissions via multiple UE panels) to a single uplink transmission (e.g., uplink transmission via one UE panel at a given time). Alternatively and / or additionally, the UE can switch from a single uplink transmission (e.g., uplink transmission via one UE panel at a given time) to parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions (e.g., parallel uplink transmissions via multiple UE panels).

[0274] In NR, Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission can be based on Non-Codebook (NCB) or Codebook (CB). For CB-based PUSCH, the Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource set of the CB PUSCH can be configured to the UE (e.g., the UE can be configured to use the SRS resource set of the CB PUSCH), and the network can determine uplink channel conditions and identify which UE beam is preferred (e.g., strong Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and / or less interference) based on the SRS measured in the SRS resource set. In some instances, UE beams can be selected based on determining (e.g., based on measuring one or more SRS in the SRS resource set) that a UE beam has a strong RSRP (e.g., RSRP above a threshold and / or higher than the other RSRPs of one or more other UE beams) and / or less interference (e.g., interference below a threshold and / or less interference than one or more other UE beams). The network can schedule CB PUSCH via DCI indicating the Transmit Pre-decoding Matrix Index (TPMI) (e.g., for indicating pre-decoding on the UE side) and SRS Resource Indicator (SRI) (e.g., for indicating the beam and / or power-related control to be used).

[0275] For NCB-based PUSCHs, the SRS resource set of the NCB PUSCH can be configured to the UE (e.g., the UE can be configured to use the SRS resource set of the NCB PUSCH), and the network can determine uplink channel conditions and identify which UE beam is preferred (e.g., strong RSRP and / or less interference) based on the UE's Channel State Information (CSI) reports (e.g., CSI reports associated with the UE, such as CSI reports transmitted by the UE). In some instances, UE beams can be selected based on determining (e.g., based on measuring the UE's CSI reports) that a UE beam has a strong RSRP (e.g., RSRP above a threshold and / or higher than the other RSRPs of one or more other UE beams) and / or less interference (e.g., interference below a threshold and / or less interference than one or more other UE beams). NCB-based PUSCHs can be based on downlink / uplink (DL / UL) channel reciprocity. The network can schedule NCB PUSCHs via a DCI indicating the SRI (e.g., for indicating the beam to be used and power-related control). The UE can determine which pre-decoding to use based on the Channel State Information-Based Reference Signal (CSI-RS) associated with the SRI.

[0276] In some instances, the UE can communicate with multiple TRPs, including a first TRP and a second TRP. Figure 8 Situation 800 is illustrated, in which the UE (shown by reference numeral 850) communicates with a first TRP (shown by reference numeral 802) and a second TRP (shown by reference numeral 804) in serving cell 806 (e.g., a single serving cell). For example, in scenario 800, both the first TRP 802 and the second TRP 804 may be in serving cell 806.

[0277] Figure 9 The illustration shows scenario 900, where UE 850 communicates with a first TRP 802 and a second TRP 804, where the first TRP 802 is in serving cell 806 and the second TRP 804 is in cell 902, which is, for example, a non-serving cell and / or a neighboring cell. For example, the first TRP 802 and the second TRP 804 are not both in serving cell 806 (e.g., Figure 8 As shown in scenario 800, in scenario 900, the first TRP 802 and the second TRP 804 may be in different cells.

[0278] In some instances, such as in Figure 8 In the case shown in 800 and in Figure 9In scenario 900, UE 850 may communicate with first TRP 802 via first UE panel 812A, and / or UE 850 may communicate with second TRP 804 via second UE panel 812B. In some instances, communication between first TRP 802 and UE 850 may be performed via first beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information 814. In this disclosure, the terms "beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information" may correspond to beam, spatial filter, spatial relationship, spatial information, and / or spatial relationship information. In some instances, communication between second TRP 804 and UE 850 may be performed via second beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information 810.

[0279] In some instances, such as in Figure 8 In the case shown in 800 and in Figure 9 In scenario 900, as shown, the UE may perform (e.g., transmit) a first uplink transmission (e.g., the first uplink transmission may be transmitted to a first TRP 802) via a first beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information 814. In some instances, the UE may perform (e.g., transmit) a second uplink transmission (e.g., the second uplink transmission may be transmitted to a second TRP 804) via a second beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information 810. The first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission may be performed in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) (e.g., transmitted by the UE).

[0280] First Concept

[0281] The first concept of this disclosure is that, based on (e.g., in response to) a first set of conditions (e.g., one or more conditions in the first set), such as based on (e.g., in response to) determining that the first set of conditions is met, the UE triggers the transmission and / or generation of a power-related report (e.g., the UE is triggered to transmit and / or generate a power-related report). In some instances, based on the first set of conditions, such as based on determining that the first set of conditions is met, the UE initiates a procedure for generating a power-related report. In some instances, if the first set of conditions is not met, then the UE does not trigger the transmission and / or generation of a power-related report (e.g., if the first set of conditions is not met, then the UE may not transmit and / or generate a power-related report). In some instances, if the first set of conditions is not met, then the UE does not initiate a procedure for generating a power-related report. In some instances, the power-related report may be triggered by a power headroom reporting procedure (e.g., the power headroom reporting procedure according to 3GPP TS 38.321 V16.5.0). In some instances, the content of power-related reports may differ from the power headroom reporting procedure in 3GPP TS 38.321 V16.5.0.

[0282] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a first condition that the UE's power level is greater than a threshold. The power level may correspond to the UE's transmit power. In this disclosure, the term "transmit power" corresponds to (e.g., the UE's) transmit power and / or (e.g., the UE's) output power, such as the transmit power (and / or output power) of one or more uplink transmits of the UE. In some instances, the power level may correspond to a combination (e.g., sum and / or total) of multiple transmit powers of the UE (e.g., multiple transmit powers for multiple transmits). In some instances, the power level (e.g., the UE's transmit power) may be determined (e.g., derived from) based on multiple (e.g., two) UE panels of the UE. In some instances, the power level (e.g., the UE's transmit power) may be determined (e.g., derived from) based on multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals (e.g., two uplink channels / signals transmitted in parallel (e.g., simultaneously)). For example, one of the multiple transmit powers may correspond to the transmit power of one of the multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals. In this disclosure, the term "channel / signal" may correspond to a channel and / or a signal. In some instances, the power level (e.g., the transmit power of the UE) may be determined (e.g., derived from) a combination (e.g., sum and / or total) of the transmit power of multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals (e.g., in dBm or watts). In some instances, the UE transmits multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals via multiple (e.g., two) UE panels. In some instances, the UE transmits multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals via multiple (e.g., two) beams / spatial filters / spatial relationships / spatial information sets / spatial relationship information sets. In some instances, the UE transmits a first uplink channel / signal among multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals via a first beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information set associated with and / or forming a QCL of a first cell's synchronization signal block (SSB). In some instances, the UE transmits multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals via a second uplink channel / signal associated with and / or forming a QCL (e.g., the first beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information is different from the second beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information). In some instances, the first cell is different from the second cell. In some instances, the first cell is the serving cell of the UE, and the second serving cell is a neighboring cell associated with the first cell (e.g., a non-serving cell of the UE). In some instances, multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals are transmitted on a carrier and / or cell.

[0283] In some instances, the UE's power level is determined without and / or before power reduction (e.g., if power reduction is performed to transmit uplink channels / signals out of multiple uplink channels / signals, then power reduction may not be considered). For example, for uplink channels / signals out of multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals (and / or for each of the multiple uplink channels / signals), the transmit power is determined (e.g., derived) without and / or before power reduction (where the UE's power level may be determined based on the transmit power determined without power reduction). In some instances, the transmit power out of multiple transmit powers may be determined without and / or before power reduction (e.g., power reduction, such as power reduction of uplink channels / signals out of multiple uplink channels / signals, may not be considered when determining the transmit power).

[0284] In some instances, the threshold is the UE's maximum transmit power. In some instances, the threshold is 23 dBm (or other values). In some instances, the threshold is based on the UE's power level.

[0285] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a second condition where the path loss change parameter associated with the UE is greater than a first change threshold. In some instances, the path loss change parameter may correspond to a path loss change of the UE (e.g., a path loss alteration). In this disclosure, the term "path loss change" may refer to "path loss alteration" and / or may be used interchangeably with "path loss alteration" (and / or the term "path loss estimate change" may refer to "path loss estimate change" and / or may be used interchangeably with "path loss estimate change"). In some instances, the path loss change parameter corresponds to a combination (e.g., a sum and / or a total) of multiple (e.g., two) path loss changes (e.g., path loss estimate changes). The first change threshold may be phr-Tx-simu-PowerFactorChange or phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange. In some instances, if the UE indicates information to the network associated with the ability to support parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions, then the UE may be configured to use the first change threshold (e.g., the network may configure the UE to use the first change threshold in response to determining, based on information received from the UE, that the UE is capable of supporting parallel uplink transmissions). In some instances, the path loss change (e.g., a single path loss change) among multiple path loss changes (e.g., path loss estimate changes) is an absolute value (and / or may be an integer). In some instances, the path loss change (e.g., a single path loss change) among multiple path loss changes (e.g., path loss estimate changes) may be positive or negative.

[0286] In some instances, multiple (e.g., two) path loss changes include a first path loss change (e.g., a first path loss estimate change) and a second path loss change (e.g., a second path loss estimate change). In some instances, the first path loss change and the second path loss change are not greater than a second change threshold (e.g., phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange). Alternatively and / or additionally, the first path loss change is not greater than the second change threshold (e.g., a first instance of phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange), and the second path loss change is not greater than a third change threshold (e.g., a second instance of phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange that is different from the first instance of phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange). In some instances, because each of the multiple (e.g., two) path loss changes is not greater than its corresponding change threshold (e.g., because multiple path loss changes are not greater than the second change threshold, and / or because the first path loss change is not greater than the second change threshold and the second path loss change is not greater than the third change threshold), the UE does not trigger a power-related report. However, the total power used for parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions may be excessive due to a combination (e.g., summation and / or total amount) of compensations for multiple path losses (e.g., associated with parallel uplink transmissions). Based on a second condition (e.g., based on determining that the second condition is met), the UE may trigger the transmission of a power-related report (e.g., the UE is triggered to transmit a power-related report). In some instances, power-related reports may assist the network in adjusting and / or determining (e.g., judging) whether to schedule parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions (for the UE). Therefore, in some instances, even if multiple path loss changes may not each exceed their respective thresholds (so that the UE is not triggered to generate and / or transmit a power-related report based on individual path loss changes among the multiple path loss changes), the UE may trigger the generation and / or transmission of a power-related report based on determining that the path loss change parameter is greater than a first change threshold (thereby enabling the network to more accurately determine whether to schedule parallel uplink transmissions for the UE). In some instances, the first change threshold (e.g., phr-Tx-simu-PowerFactorChange) is greater than the second change threshold and / or the third change threshold.

[0287] Figure 10A scenario 1000 associated with a UE according to some embodiments is illustrated. In scenario 1000, the UE may be configured to use the coresetPoolIndex of one or more control resource sets (CORESETs). In scenario 1000, the UE may maintain a first path loss estimate associated with coresetPoolIndex = 0 / first TRP (e.g., the first path loss estimate may be associated with a first CORESET having coresetPoolIndex = 0 and / or the first TRP) and a second path loss estimate associated with coresetPoolIndex = 1 / second TRP (e.g., the second path loss estimate may be associated with a second CORESET having coresetPoolIndex = 1 and / or the second TRP). The UE may determine (e.g., derive) path loss variations (e.g., path loss value changes) based on the downlink reference signal (DLRS) 1002, which serves as a path loss reference signal (PLRS). If the path loss change in the first path loss estimate is greater than a second change threshold and / or if the combination of the path loss changes in the first and second path loss estimates (e.g., sum and / or total) is greater than the first change threshold, then the UE may trigger the generation and / or transmission of a power-related report 1012 (e.g., the UE may transmit the power-related report to the network). For example, the UE may transmit a channel / signal 1004 (e.g., PUSCH and / or Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH)) including a power-related report to the network. The network may determine whether to schedule parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions based on the power-related report. In case 1000, the network may transmit UL permission 1006 in a CORESET with coresetPoolIndex = 0 to schedule PUSCH 1, and may transmit UL permission 1008 in a CORESET with coresetPoolIndex = 1 to schedule PUSCH 2. In some instances, PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2 include (and / or) one or more symbols that overlap in the time domain. In some instances, the UE can transmit PUSCH1 and PUSCH2 in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) (e.g., via transmission 1010).

[0288] Figure 11A scenario 1100 associated with a UE according to some embodiments is illustrated. In scenario 1100, the UE may be configured to use multiple (e.g., two) SRS resource sets, including a first SRS resource set and a second SRS resource set. The first SRS resource set is associated with a first path loss estimate. The second SRS resource set is associated with a second path loss estimate. In scenario 1100, the UE may determine (e.g., derive) a path loss change (e.g., a change in path loss value) based on a DL RS 1102, which is a PL RS. If the path loss change of the first path loss estimate is greater than a second change threshold and / or if the combination of the path loss changes of the first and second path loss estimates (e.g., the sum and / or the total) is greater than the first change threshold, then the UE may trigger the generation and / or transmission of a power-related report 1110 (e.g., the UE may transmit a power-related report to the network). For example, the UE may transmit a channel / signal 1104 (e.g., PUSCH and / or PUCCH) including a power-related report to the network. The network can determine whether to schedule parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions (e.g., for the UE) based on power-related reports. In scenario 1100, the network can transmit UL approval 1106 for scheduling PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2. In some instances, PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2 include (and / or) one or more symbols that overlap in the time domain. In some instances, the UE can transmit PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2 in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) (e.g., via transmission 1108).

[0289] In some instances, the UE may maintain multiple path loss estimates for the serving cell, wherein the multiple path loss estimates may have up to several path loss estimates (for the serving cell). In some instances, the multiple path loss estimates may include a first path loss estimate and a second path loss estimate.

[0290] In some instances, first path loss estimation and second path loss estimation are used to control the parallel (e.g., simultaneous) transmission of multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals.

[0291] In some instances, for the first path loss estimation, the UE determines the first path loss change based on the path loss measured at the current time against the current path loss reference and the path loss measured at the transmission time of the last transmission in the power-related report against the path loss reference used at the transmission time of the last transmission.

[0292] In some instances, for the second path loss estimation, the UE determines the second path loss variation based on the second path loss measured at the current time against the current path loss reference and the second path loss measured at the transmission time of the last transmission in the power-related report against the path loss reference used at the transmission time of the last transmission.

[0293] In some instances, the last transmission of a power-related report may be associated with and / or with a report triggered based on a first change threshold.

[0294] In some instances, the last transmission of a power-related report may be associated with and / or with a first change threshold, a second change threshold, and / or a third change threshold, and with a report triggered based on the first change threshold, the second change threshold, and / or the third change threshold.

[0295] In this instance, the number of path loss estimates for the serving cell (e.g., the maximum number of path loss estimates for multiple path loss estimates for the serving cell) is 4. In some instances, the second condition is that the combination of multiple (e.g., two) path loss changes (e.g., path loss estimate changes) (e.g., any two path loss changes) is greater than a first change threshold (e.g., phr-Tx-simu-PowerFactorChange).

[0296] In some instances, the first path loss estimate is associated with the first TRP.

[0297] In some instances, the second path loss estimate is associated with the second TRP.

[0298] In some instances, the first path loss estimate is associated with the first UE panel.

[0299] In some instances, the second path loss estimate is associated with a second UE panel.

[0300] In some instances, the first path loss estimate is associated with and / or with the DLRS transmitted from the first TRP.

[0301] In some instances, the second path loss estimate is associated with and / or with the DLRS transmitted from and from the second TRP.

[0302] In some instances, the first path loss estimate is associated with a first SRS resource (e.g., a first SRS resource set).

[0303] In some instances, the second path loss estimate is associated with a second SRS resource (e.g., a second resource set).

[0304] In some instances, the first SRS resource (e.g., the first SRS resource set) is associated with the first TRP.

[0305] In some instances, a second SRS resource (e.g., a second SRS resource set) is associated with a second TRP.

[0306] In some instances, the first path loss estimate is associated with a reference signal (RS) and a CORESET with coresetPoolIndex = 0.

[0307] In some instances, the second path loss estimate is associated with the RS and the CORESET with coresetPoolIndex=1.

[0308] In some instances, path loss (e.g., path loss estimation), such as a path loss (e.g., a path loss estimate), is determined based on DL RS and / or PL RS.

[0309] In some instances, path loss (e.g., path loss estimation), such as a path loss estimate, is determined based on the difference between the Layer 3-RSRP (L3-RSRP) (from the DL RS and / or PL RS) and a reference power (known and aligned between the network and the UE). The reference power may be determined by the network, and the network may configure it to the UE (e.g., the network may configure the UE to use the reference power, for example by transmitting an indication of the reference power to the UE).

[0310] In some instances, the layer 1-RSRP (L1-RSRP) is determined based on DL RS and / or PL RS without the application of an L3 filter and / or without the need for long-term averaging.

[0311] In some instances, the layer 3-RSRP (L3-RSRP) is determined based on DL RS and / or PL RS, requiring the application of an L3 filter and / or a long-term averaging.

[0312] In some instances, the UE transmits multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals via multiple (e.g., two) UE panels. In some instances, the UE transmits multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals via multiple (e.g., two) beams / spatial filters / spatial relationships / spatial information sets / spatial relationship information sets. In some instances, multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals are transmitted on a single carrier.

[0313] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a third condition where the path loss parameter associated with the UE is greater than a first path loss threshold (e.g., a path loss estimation threshold). In some instances, the path loss parameter may correspond to the UE's path loss (e.g., a path loss estimate). In some instances, the path loss parameter corresponds to a combination (e.g., a sum and / or total) of multiple (e.g., two) path losses (e.g., path loss estimates). In some instances, if the UE indicates to the network information associated with its ability to support parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions, the UE may be configured to use the first path loss threshold (e.g., the network may configure the UE to use the first path loss threshold in response to determining, based on information received from the UE, that the UE is capable of supporting parallel uplink transmissions, such as simultaneous uplink transmissions). In some instances, multiple (e.g., two) path losses (e.g., path loss estimates) may include a first path loss (e.g., a first path loss estimate) and a second path loss (e.g., a second path loss estimate). In some instances, the first path loss is based on the DL RS and / or PL RS associated with the first TRP. In some instances, the second path loss is based on the DLRS and / or PLRS associated with the second TRP. In some instances, the first path loss is based on the reference power associated with the DLRS and / or PLRS associated with the first TRP. In some instances, the second path loss is based on the reference power associated with the DLRS and / or PLRS associated with the second TRP.

[0314] In some instances, the UE transmits multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals via multiple (e.g., two) UE panels. In some instances, the UE transmits multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals via multiple (e.g., two) beams / spatial filters / spatial relationships / spatial information sets / spatial relationship information sets. In some instances, multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals are transmitted on a single carrier.

[0315] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a fourth condition where one or more RSRP parameters are less than a threshold. The one or more RSRP parameters may include: (i) the L1-RSRP of at least one UE panel of the UE (e.g., the fourth condition is satisfied if the L1-RSRP of at least one UE panel of the UE is less than a threshold); (ii) the L3-RSRP of at least one UE panel of the UE (e.g., the fourth condition is satisfied if the L3-RSRP of at least one UE panel of the UE is less than a threshold); (iii) the L1-RSRP of two UE panels (and / or all UE panels) of the UE (e.g., the fourth condition is satisfied if the L1-RSRP of both UE panels and / or all UE panels of the UE is less than a threshold); and / or (iv) the L3-RSRP of two UE panels (and / or all UE panels) of the UE (e.g., the fourth condition is satisfied if the L3-RSRP of both UE panels and / or all UE panels of the UE is less than a threshold). In some instances, L1-RSRP and / or L3-RSRP may be determined (e.g., derived) based on multiple (e.g., two) downlink channels / signals associated with multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals (e.g., two uplink channels / signals transmitted in parallel (e.g., simultaneously)). In some instances, the threshold is the received signal strength of the UE.

[0316] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a fifth condition where the combined (e.g., sum and / or total) L1-RSRP of the UE's two UE panels (and / or all UE panels) is less than a threshold. In some instances, L1-RSRP is determined (e.g., derived) based on multiple (e.g., two) downlink channels / signals associated with multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals (e.g., two uplink channels / signals transmitted in parallel (e.g., simultaneously)). In some instances, the threshold is the UE's received signal strength.

[0317] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a sixth condition where the combined (e.g., sum and / or total) L3-RSRP of the UE's two UE panels (and / or all UE panels) is less than a threshold. In some instances, L3-RSRP is determined (e.g., derived) based on multiple (e.g., two) downlink channels / signals associated with multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals (e.g., two uplink channels / signals transmitted in parallel (e.g., simultaneously)). In some instances, the threshold is the UE's received signal strength.

[0318] In some instances, the UE transmits multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals via multiple (e.g., two) UE panels. In some instances, the UE transmits multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals via multiple (e.g., two) beams / spatial filters / spatial relationships / spatial information sets / spatial relationship information sets. In some instances, multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals are transmitted on a single carrier.

[0319] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a seventh condition where the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) less than the RSRP threshold for UE panels (e.g., one UE panel) in multiple (e.g., two) UE panels of the UE is greater than a counting threshold. For example, the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs may correspond to the count of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs less than the RSRP threshold (of the UE panel). In some instances, the UE may maintain a counter for maintaining the count (e.g., counting) of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) less than the RSRP threshold for the UE panel. In some instances, when a (consecutive) L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP of one of the multiple (e.g., two) UE panels (e.g., one UE panel) is detected to be less than the RSRP threshold, the UE may increment the counter (e.g., increment the counter by one). In some instances, a counter value greater than a counting threshold can cause the seventh condition (e.g., used to trigger a power-related report) to be met.

[0320] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes an eighth condition where the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) less than the RSRP threshold for two of the UE's multiple (e.g., two) UE panels (e.g., all UE panels) is greater than a counting threshold. For example, the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs may correspond to the count of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs less than the RSRP threshold for the two UE panels. In some instances, the UE may maintain a counter for maintaining (e.g., counting) the count of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) less than the RSRP threshold for the two UE panels. In some instances, when it is detected that one (consecutive) L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP for two of the UE's multiple (e.g., two) UE panels is less than the RSRP threshold, the UE may increment the counter (e.g., increment the counter by one). In some instances, a counter value greater than a counting threshold can satisfy an eighth condition (e.g., for triggering power-related reports). For example, the eighth condition is satisfied when the counter value is greater than the counting threshold. In some instances, the UE can determine (e.g., derive) two L3-RSRPs (e.g., a first L3-RSRP and a second L3-RSRP) based on two PL RSs. In some instances, if the first L3-RSRP and / or the second L3-RSRP of the two RSRPs are less than an RSRP threshold, the UE can increment the counter (e.g., increment the counter by one). In some instances, if both the first L3-RSRP and the second L3-RSRP are greater than or equal to the RSRP threshold, the UE can set the counter to zero.

[0321] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a ninth condition where the first number of L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP (e.g., consecutive L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP) on the first UE panel of the UE and / or the second number of L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP (e.g., consecutive L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP) on the second UE panel of the UE is greater than a counting threshold. For example, the first number of L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP may correspond to a count of L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP (on the first UE panel) that is less than the RSRP threshold. The second number of L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP may correspond to a count of L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP (on the second UE panel) that is less than the RSRP threshold. In instances, the UE may maintain a first counter and a second counter respectively (e.g., for each UE panel of the UE, the UE may maintain a counter corresponding to the number of L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP that is less than the RSRP threshold). In some instances, when a (consecutive) L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP of a first UE panel is detected to be less than the RSRP threshold, the UE may increment a first counter (e.g., increment the first counter by one). In some instances, when a (consecutive) L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP of a second UE panel is detected to be less than the RSRP threshold, the UE may increment a second counter (e.g., increment the second counter by one). In some instances, the value of the first counter and / or the value of the second counter being greater than a counting threshold may satisfy a ninth condition (e.g., for triggering a power-related report). For example, the ninth condition may be satisfied when the value of the first counter and / or the value of the second counter is greater than a counting threshold. In some instances, the counting thresholds for different UE panels may be different. In some instances, the RSRP thresholds for different UE panels may be different.

[0322] In some instances, with respect to one or more embodiments herein (e.g., embodiments discussed with respect to the seventh, eighth, and / or ninth conditions), the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) corresponds to the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs associated with the first serving cell. In some instances, the L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs associated with the first serving cell may be L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs determined (e.g., measured and / or derived therefrom) based on DL RSs transmitted via and / or from the first serving cell. In some instances, the L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs associated with the first serving cell do not include L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs determined (e.g., measured and / or derived therefrom) based on DL RSs transmitted via serving cells other than the first serving cell. In some instances, the L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP associated with the first serving cell may be determined (e.g., measured and / or derived from) one or more DLRS transmitted via the first serving cell or determined (e.g., measured and / or derived from) one or more DLRS transmitted via a second cell for a non-serving cell and / or neighboring cells. In some instances, the one or more DLRS transmitted via the second cell may be associated with an SSB in the second cell and / or may form a (Type D) QCL with an SSB in the second cell. In some instances, the first serving cell may include a first TRP and a second TRP. In some instances, the second cell is associated with the first serving cell. In some instances, the UE may perform transmission and / or reception via beam / spatial filter / spatial relation / spatial information / spatial relationship information associated with an SSB in the second cell and / or formed a (Type D) QCL with an SSB in the second cell (e.g., other than an SSB in the first serving cell). For example, the association of a second cell with a first serving cell may correspond to the UE performing transmission and / or reception via beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information associated with and / or with an SSB in the second cell (e.g., other than an SSB in the first serving cell) forming a (Type D) QCL.

[0323] In some instances, the two PL RS are associated with multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals (e.g., two uplink channels / signals transmitted in parallel (e.g., simultaneously)).

[0324] In some instances, the UE may be configured to use a first set of reference signals (RS) associated with a first TRP (e.g., DL RS). In some instances, the UE may be configured to use a second set of RSs associated with a second TRP (e.g., DL RS). In some instances, one, some, and / or all of the RSs in the first set are used for L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP determination (e.g., L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP measurement). In some instances, one, some, and / or all of the RSs in the second set are used for L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP determination (e.g., L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP measurement). In some instances, the UE may determine (e.g., implicitly determine) L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP based on the demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of CORESET and / or the DMRS of PDSCH.

[0325] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a tenth condition where the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs less than an RSRP threshold (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) in one or more RSs within the first set of RSs is greater than a counting threshold. For example, if the UE determines (e.g., detects) that the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) is greater than the counting threshold, then the tenth condition can be determined to be met (e.g., for triggering a power-related report). In some instances, the tenth condition (e.g., for triggering a power-related report) is not met if the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) is not greater than the counting threshold and / or if the UE does not detect that the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) is greater than the counting threshold.

[0326] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes an eleventh condition where the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs less than an RSRP threshold (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) in one or more RSs in the second set of RSs is greater than a counting threshold. For example, if the UE determines (e.g., detects) that the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) is greater than the counting threshold, then the eleventh condition can be determined to be met (e.g., for triggering a power-related report). In some instances, the eleventh condition (e.g., for triggering a power-related report) is not met if the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) is not greater than the counting threshold and / or if the UE does not detect that the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) is greater than the counting threshold.

[0327] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a twelfth condition where the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs less than an RSRP threshold (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) in one or more RSs in the first set of RSs and one or more RSs in the second set of RSs is greater than a counting threshold. For example, if the UE determines (e.g., detects) that the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) is greater than the counting threshold, then the twelfth condition can be determined to be met (e.g., for triggering a power-related report). In some instances, the twelfth condition (e.g., for triggering a power-related report) is not met if the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) is not greater than the counting threshold and / or if the UE does not detect that the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) is greater than the counting threshold.

[0328] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a thirteenth condition where the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs less than an RSRP threshold (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) in one or more RSs in the first set of RSs or one or more RSs in the second set of RSs is greater than a counting threshold. For example, if the UE determines (e.g., detects) that the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) is greater than the counting threshold, then the thirteenth condition can be determined to be met (e.g., for triggering a power-related report). In some instances, the thirteenth condition (e.g., for triggering a power-related report) is not met if the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) is not greater than the counting threshold and / or if the UE does not detect that the number of L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs (e.g., the number of consecutive L1-RSRPs or L3-RSRPs) is greater than the counting threshold.

[0329] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a fourteenth condition where the number of path losses (e.g., consecutive path losses) greater than a path loss threshold for UE panels (e.g., one UE panel) out of multiple (e.g., two) UE panels of the UE is greater than a counting threshold. For example, the number of path losses may correspond to a count of path losses greater than the path loss threshold (of the UE panel). In some instances, the UE may maintain a counter to maintain (e.g., count) the count of path losses (e.g., consecutive path losses) greater than the path loss threshold for the UE panel. In some instances, when a (consecutive) path loss of one of the multiple (e.g., two) UE panels (e.g., one UE panel) is detected to be greater than the path loss threshold, the UE may increment the counter (e.g., increment the counter by one). In some instances, a counter value greater than the counting threshold may satisfy the fourteenth condition (e.g., for triggering a power-related report).

[0330] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a fifteenth condition where the number of path losses (e.g., consecutive path losses) greater than a path loss threshold for two of the UE's multiple (e.g., two) UE panels (e.g., all UE panels) is greater than a counting threshold. For example, the number of path losses may correspond to a count of path losses greater than the path loss threshold (for the two UE panels of the UE). In some instances, the UE may maintain a counter to maintain (e.g., count) the count of path losses (e.g., consecutive path losses) greater than the path loss threshold for the two UE panels. In some instances, the UE may increment the counter (e.g., increment the counter by one) when it detects that one (consecutive) path loss of two of the UE's multiple (e.g., two) UE panels is greater than the path loss threshold. In some instances, a counter value greater than the counting threshold may satisfy the fifteenth condition (e.g., for triggering a power-related report). For example, the fifteenth condition may be satisfied when the counter value is greater than the counting threshold. In some instances, the UE may determine (e.g., derive) two path losses (e.g., a first path loss, a second path loss) based on two PL RS. In some instances, if the first path loss and / or the second path loss of the two path losses are greater than a path loss threshold, the UE may increment the counter (e.g., increment the counter by one). In some instances, if both the first path loss and the second path loss are less than or equal to the path loss threshold, the UE may set the counter to zero.

[0331] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a sixteenth condition where a first number of path losses (e.g., continuous path losses) on a first UE panel of the UE and / or a second number of path losses (e.g., continuous path losses) on a second UE panel of the UE are greater than a counting threshold. For example, the first number of path losses may correspond to a count of path losses (on the first UE panel) that are greater than the path loss threshold. The second number of path losses may correspond to a count of path losses (on the second UE panel) that are greater than the path loss threshold. In instances, the UE may maintain a first counter and a second counter, respectively (e.g., for each UE panel of the UE, the UE may maintain a counter corresponding to the number of path losses less than the path loss threshold). In some instances, when a (continuous) path loss on the first UE panel is detected to be greater than the path loss threshold, the UE may increment the first counter (e.g., increment the first counter by one). In some instances, when a (continuous) path loss on the second UE panel is detected to be greater than the path loss threshold, the UE may increment the second counter (e.g., increment the second counter by one). In some instances, the value of the first counter and / or the value of the second counter being greater than the counting threshold may satisfy the sixteenth condition (e.g., for triggering a power-related report). For example, condition sixteen is satisfied when the values ​​of the first counter and / or the second counter are greater than the counting threshold. In some instances, the counting thresholds may be different for different UE panels. In some instances, the path loss thresholds may be different for different UE panels.

[0332] In some instances, with respect to one or more embodiments herein (e.g., embodiments discussed with respect to the fourteenth, fifteenth, and / or sixteenth conditions), the number of path losses (e.g., the number of consecutive path losses) corresponds to the number of path losses associated with the first serving cell. In some instances, the path losses associated with the first serving cell may be path losses determined (e.g., measured and / or derived therefrom) based on DL RS transmitted via and / or from the first serving cell. In some instances, the path losses associated with the first serving cell do not include path losses determined (e.g., measured and / or derived therefrom) based on DL RS transmitted via serving cells other than the first serving cell. In some instances, the path losses associated with the first serving cell may be path losses determined (e.g., measured and / or derived therefrom) based on one or more DL RS transmitted via the first serving cell or based on one or more DL RS transmitted via a second cell that is a non-serving cell and / or a neighboring cell. In some instances, the one or more DL RS transmitted via the second cell may be associated with an SSB in the second cell, and / or may form a (Type D) QCL with an SSB in the second cell. In some instances, the first serving cell may include a first TRP and a second TRP. In some instances, the second cell is associated with the first serving cell. In some instances, the UE may perform transmission and / or reception via beam / spatial filter / spatial relation / spatial information / spatial relation information associated with an SSB in the second cell and / or formed a (Type D) QCL with an SSB in the second cell (e.g., other than an SSB in the first serving cell). For example, the association of the second cell with the first serving cell may correspond to the UE performing transmission and / or reception via beam / spatial filter / spatial relation / spatial information / spatial relation information associated with an SSB in the second cell and / or formed a (Type D) QCL with an SSB in the second cell (e.g., other than an SSB in the first serving cell).

[0333] In some instances, the two PL RS are associated with multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals (e.g., two uplink channels / signals transmitted in parallel (e.g., simultaneously)).

[0334] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes a seventeenth condition: the number of failed uplink parallel scheduling attempts (e.g., the number of failed uplink simultaneous scheduling attempts) is greater than a counting threshold. In some instances, the UE may maintain a counter to maintain (e.g., count) the number of failed uplink parallel scheduling attempts. In some instances, the UE may increment the counter (e.g., increment the counter by one) when a (consecutive) failed uplink parallel scheduling attempt (e.g., a failed uplink simultaneous scheduling attempt) is detected in one of multiple (e.g., two) UE panels. In some instances, a counter value greater than a counting threshold may satisfy the seventeenth condition (e.g., for triggering a power-related report). In some instances, based on one or more uplink grants, the UE may be scheduled to transmit multiple (e.g., two) uplink transmissions in parallel (e.g., simultaneously). In some instances, a failed uplink parallel scheduling attempt (e.g., a failed uplink simultaneous scheduling attempt) may correspond to the following situation: the UE is scheduled to transmit multiple (e.g., two) uplink transmissions in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) by one or more uplinks, but the UE does not (e.g., is unable to) transmit the multiple (e.g., two) scheduled uplink transmissions in parallel (e.g., simultaneously), for example, at least in part due to the timing advance (TA) difference of the two uplink transmissions being greater than a threshold and / or power-related effects (e.g., total power sum, path loss, MPE issues). In some instances, a failed uplink parallel scheduling attempt (and / or a failed uplink transmission) may not include canceling, preempting, and / or prioritizing other DL / UL channels / signals.

[0335] In some instances, the number of failed uplink parallel scheduling attempts (e.g., the number of failed uplink simultaneous scheduling attempts) is associated with the first serving cell. For example, failed uplink parallel scheduling attempts counted as a number of failed uplink parallel scheduling attempts may include scheduling attempts for a first uplink transmission associated with the first serving cell. In some instances, failed uplink parallel scheduling attempts (counted as a number of failed uplink parallel scheduling attempts) include scheduling attempts for a second uplink transmission associated with a second cell. In some instances, the second cell is a non-serving cell and / or a neighboring cell. In some instances, the second cell is associated with the first serving cell. In some instances, one or more DL RSs transmitted via the second cell may be associated with an SSB in the second cell and / or may form a (Type D) QCL with an SSB in the second cell. In some instances, the first serving cell may include a first TRP and a second TRP. In some instances, the UE may perform transmission and / or reception via beam / spatial filter / spatial relation / spatial information / spatial relation information associated with and / or with an SSB in the second cell (e.g., other than an SSB in the first serving cell) forming a (Type D) QCL. For example, the association of the second cell with the first serving cell may correspond to the UE performing transmission and / or reception via beam / spatial filter / spatial relation / spatial information / spatial relation information associated with and / or with an SSB in the second cell (e.g., other than an SSB in the first serving cell) forming a (Type D) QCL.

[0336] In some instances, the first set of conditions includes one, some, and / or all of the following conditions: first condition, second condition, third condition, fourth condition, fifth condition, sixth condition, seventh condition, eighth condition, ninth condition, tenth condition, eleventh condition, twelfth condition, thirteenth condition, fourteenth condition, fifteenth condition, sixteenth condition, and / or seventeenth condition. In some instances, based on (e.g., in response to) determining (e.g., detecting and / or identifying) that one, some, and / or all of the first set of conditions are met, the UE may trigger the transmission and / or generation of a power-related report (e.g., the UE is triggered to transmit and / or generate a power-related report). In some instances, based on (e.g., in response to) triggering the transmission and / or generation of a power-related report (e.g., in response to determining that one, some, and / or all of the first set of conditions are met), the UE may generate and / or transmit a power-related report.

[0337] In some instances, the first set of conditions may include: (i) when the MAC entity (e.g., any MAC entity) has UL resources for a new transmission, the change in path loss since the last transmission of the Power Headroom Report (PHR) in the MAC entity is greater than the phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange dB of the MAC entity's cell (e.g., the TRP of the cell); (ii) the phr-PeriodicTimer expires; (iii) the Power Headroom Report function not used for deactivation is configured or reconfigured (e.g., this condition may be satisfied when configuring or reconfiguring the Power Headroom Report function not used for deactivation); and (iv) the activation of a secondary cell (SCell) of a MAC entity (e.g., any MAC entity) with a configured uplink whose firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id is not set to a sleep BWP (e.g., this condition may be satisfied when the SCell of a MAC entity with a configured uplink whose firstActiveDownlinkBWP-Id is not set to a sleep BWP is activated). (v) Conditions for adding a PSCell (e.g., based on the addition of a PSCell, such as when a PSCell is recently added or changed); (vi) The existence of UL resources allocated for new transmissions or the existence of PUCCH transmissions on a cell (e.g., on the TRP of the cell) with a configured uplink MAC entity (e.g., any MAC entity), and when the MAC entity has UL resources allocated for transmissions (e.g., PUCCH transmissions) on the cell (e.g., the TRP of the cell), the change in required power back-off due to power management of the cell (e.g., the TRP of the cell) since the last transmission of the PHR is greater than phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange. Conditions for (vii) switching from a sleeping BWP to a non-sleeping DL BWP in a cell with a configured uplink MAC entity (e.g., any MAC entity) via an activated BWP (e.g., when switching from a sleeping BWP to a non-sleeping DL BWP in a cell with a configured uplink MAC entity via an activated BWP); (viii) the maximum power reduction in power management (P-MPR) measured since the last transmission of the PHR in the MAC entity is equal to or greater than the mpe-Threshold of the cell (e.g., the TPR of the cell); and / or (ix) the change in P-MPR measured since the last transmission of the PHR is greater than the phr-Tx-PowerFactorChange dB of the cell (e.g., the TRP of the cell), since the measured P-MPR for meeting the MPE requirement is equal to or greater than the mpe-Threshold in the MAC entity.

[0338] In some instances, with respect to one or more embodiments herein (e.g., embodiments discussed with respect to the first set of conditions), the cell is an activated serving cell. Alternatively and / or additionally, the cell may be a neighboring cell and / or a non-serving cell. The cell may be in frequency range 2 (FR2). The cell may be used as a path loss reference.

[0339] In some instances, the phr-ProhibitTimer may have expired and / or may have already expired. In some instances, the DL BWP in the action of the MAC entity associated with the cell may not be a sleeping BWP.

[0340] In some instances, mpe-Reporting-FR2 can be configured. In other instances, mpe-ProhibitTimer may not be running.

[0341] In some instances, a power-related report may indicate that the UE's transmit power is greater than a threshold (e.g., the power-related report may include information associated with the UE's transmit power being greater than a threshold). In some instances, a power-related report may indicate the difference between the UE's transmit power and a threshold (e.g., the power-related report may include information associated with the difference between the UE's transmit power and a threshold). In some instances, a power-related report may indicate multiple (e.g., two) suggested transmit powers (e.g., the power-related report may include information associated with the multiple suggested transmit powers). In some instances, the multiple (e.g., two) suggested transmit powers are paired, associated with, and / or used for parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions (via multiple UE panels, e.g., two UE panels). For example, the multiple (e.g., two) suggested transmit powers may include a first suggested transmit power associated with a first uplink transmission in parallel uplink transmissions and a second suggested transmit power associated with a second uplink transmission in parallel uplink transmissions. In some instances, power-related reports may indicate one or more suggested UE beams and / or one or more suggested RSs (e.g., one or more indices and / or one or more RSs) associated with spatial relationships / spatial information / spatial filters, suggested physical resource blocks (PRBs) number, suggested target power (e.g., P0), suggested α, suggested PL RS and / or suggested closed-loop indexes (and / or may include information associated with these).

[0342] In some instances, power-related reports may indicate one or more pairs of proposed UE beams, one or more pairs of proposed RSs (e.g., one or more indices and / or one or more RSs) associated with spatial relationships / spatial information / spatial filters, the number of PRBs for one or more pairs of proposals, the target power for one or more pairs of proposals (e.g., P0), one or more pairs of proposed α, one or more pairs of proposed PL RSs and / or one or more pairs of proposed closed-loop indices (and / or may include information associated with these).

[0343] In some instances, a pair (e.g., one pair) of one or more pairs of X (e.g., X = suggested UE beam, suggested RS associated with spatial relation / spatial information / spatial filter, suggested number of PRBs, suggested target power (e.g., P0), suggested α, suggested PL RS and / or suggested closed-loop index) comprises two Xs, wherein the first X of the two Xs (e.g., the first X may include the first suggested UE beam, the first suggested RS associated with spatial relation / spatial information / spatial filter, the first suggested number of PRBs, the first suggested target power, the first suggested α, the first suggested PL RS and / or the first suggested closed-loop index) is associated with the first UE panel of the UE, and the second X of the two Xs (e.g., the second X may include the second suggested UE beam, the second suggested RS associated with spatial relation / spatial information / spatial filter, the second suggested number of PRBs, the second suggested target power, the second suggested α, the second suggested PL RS and / or the second suggested closed-loop index) is associated with the second UE panel of the UE. In some instances, the UE may transmit in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) based on the X pairs (e.g., one pair). For example, a UE can perform parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions (e.g., via multiple UE panels, such as two UE panels) based on the X pair. In some instances, the basic principle of including (e.g., indicating) the X pair in the power-related report is to report the appropriate X for the UE to use when performing parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions.

[0344] In some instances, power-related reports may include one or more power headroom (PH) values ​​associated with one or more cells and / or one or more TRPs.

[0345] In some instances, power-related reports may include one or more transmission powers associated with one or more cells and / or one or more TRPs.

[0346] In some instances, the power-related report can be a PHR.

[0347] In some instances, power-related reports may be PHR Media Access Control (MAC) control elements (CE).

[0348] In some instances, the one or more pH values ​​may be determined based on the quantification of one or more pH values ​​(e.g., derived from them).

[0349] In some instances, the one or more PH values ​​may include a PH associated with a first uplink transmission and a PH associated with a second uplink transmission, wherein both uplink transmissions (e.g., the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission) are in the first serving cell.

[0350] In some instances, the one or more PH values ​​may include a PH associated with a first uplink transmission and a PH associated with a second uplink transmission, wherein the first uplink transmission is in the first serving cell and the second uplink transmission is in the second cell. In some instances, the second cell is associated with the first serving cell. In some instances, the UE may perform transmission and / or reception via beam / spatial filter / spatial relation / spatial information / spatial relation information associated with an SSB in the second cell and / or with an SSB in the second cell (e.g., other than an SSB in the first serving cell) forming a (Type D) QCL. For example, the association of the second cell with the first serving cell may correspond to the UE performing transmission and / or reception via beam / spatial filter / spatial relation / spatial information / spatial relation information associated with an SSB in the second cell and / or with an SSB in the second cell (e.g., other than an SSB in the first serving cell) forming a (Type D) QCL.

[0351] In some instances, the one or more PH values ​​include a PH associated with a first uplink transmission but exclude a PH associated with a second uplink transmission, wherein both uplink transmissions (e.g., the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission) are in the first serving cell.

[0352] In some instances, a PH (e.g., a PH) may be determined (e.g., derived therefrom) based on a set of power control parameters (e.g., path loss, closed-loop index, α, and / or P0) of a PUSCH or SRS transmission (e.g., an actual PUSCH or SRS transmission) (e.g., a PUSCH or SRS transmission), and / or based on a set of preset power control parameters (e.g., path loss associated with PL RS ID=0, closed-loop index=0, P0 associated with ID=0, and / or α associated with ID=0).

[0353] In some instances, if the UE does not have uplink permission or does not transmit PUSCH and / or SRS, then the UE can use the set of preset power control parameters to determine (e.g., derive) PH (e.g., a PH).

[0354] In some instances, if the UE has uplink permission and / or will transmit PUSCH and / or SRS, then the UE can use the aforementioned set of power control parameters to determine (e.g., derive) the PH (e.g., a PH). In some instances, the set of power control parameters may be based on uplink permission for scheduling PUSCH and / or SRS.

[0355] In some instances, the pH determined (e.g., derived from) the set of power control parameters can be the actual pH (e.g., the real pH).

[0356] In some instances, the PH determined (e.g., derived from) the set of preset power control parameters can be a virtual PH.

[0357] In some instances, PH may be determined (e.g., derived therefrom) based on the difference (e.g., a positive or negative difference) between a first transmission power (e.g., transmission power without power scaling / reduction) and a first maximum transmission power. In this disclosure, the term "power scaling / reduction" may correspond to power scaling and / or power reduction.

[0358] In some instances, PH can be determined (e.g., derived from it) based on the difference (e.g., positive or negative) between the second transmission power (e.g., transmission power without power scaling / reduction) and the second maximum transmission power.

[0359] In some instances, PH can be determined (e.g., derived therefrom) based on the difference (e.g., positive or negative) between a first maximum transmission power and a combination (e.g., the sum) of a first transmission power (e.g., the transmission power without power scaling / reduction) and a second transmission power (e.g., the transmission power without power scaling / reduction).

[0360] Alternatively and / or additionally, PH may be determined (e.g., derived therefrom) based on the difference (e.g., positive or negative) between a first (reduced) transmission power (e.g., transmission power in the case of power scaling / reduction) and a first maximum transmission power.

[0361] Alternatively and / or additionally, PH may be determined (e.g., derived therefrom) based on the difference (e.g., positive or negative) between the second (reduced) transmission power (e.g., transmission power in the case of power scaling / reduction) and the second maximum transmission power.

[0362] Alternatively and / or additionally, PH may be determined (e.g., derived therefrom) based on the difference (e.g., positive or negative) between the first maximum transmission power and the combination (e.g., sum) of the first (reduced) transmission power (e.g., transmission power under power scaling / reduction) and the second (reduced) transmission power (e.g., transmission power under power scaling / reduction).

[0363] In some instances, with respect to one or more embodiments described herein (e.g., embodiments discussed regarding determining PH), the first maximum transmission power may be the same as the second maximum transmission power.

[0364] In some instances, with respect to one or more embodiments herein, the first maximum transmission power may be associated with a first UE panel and / or a first SRS resource set.

[0365] In some instances, with respect to one or more embodiments herein, the second maximum transmit power may be associated with a second UE panel and / or a second SRS resource set.

[0366] In relation to Figure 12 In instances of scenario 1200 (e.g., in the absence of PUSCH 3), the UE may have one or more uplink grants for parallel (e.g., simultaneous) transmission of PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2, wherein PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2 are the earliest PUSCHs scheduled for the UE after the time that triggers the transmission and / or generation of the power-related report 1202 (e.g., no other PUSCHs are scheduled for the UE between the time that triggers the transmission and / or generation of the power-related report 1202 and the time that PUSCH 1 and / or PUSCH 2 are scheduled). In some instances, the transmission and / or generation of the power-related report is triggered by the UE and / or the network 1202, for example using one or more techniques provided herein. In some instances, PUSCH 1 is associated with a first UE panel (e.g., UE panel 1), and / or PUSCH 2 is associated with a second UE panel (e.g., UE panel 2). In said instances, the UE may determine (e.g., derive) a first transmission power for PUSCH 1. Alternatively and / or additionally, the UE may determine (e.g., derive) a second transmission power for PUSCH 2.

[0367] In the first scenario, the UE is capable of transmitting PUSCH 1 (e.g., at a first transmit power) and PUSCH 2 (e.g., at a second transmit power) in parallel (e.g., simultaneously). The UE may transmit PUSCH 1 including a power-related report. The power-related report may also be included in PUSCH 2. The power-related report may include multiple (e.g., two) power-related reports. In some instances, a first power-related report (e.g., one power-related report) of the multiple (e.g., two) power-related reports may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a first transmit power and / or a first maximum transmit power. In some instances, a second power-related report (e.g., one power-related report other than the first power-related report) of the multiple (e.g., two) power-related reports may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a second transmit power and / or a second maximum transmit power. Alternatively and / or additionally, the UE may transmit the power-related report in PUSCH 1 (e.g., PUSCH 1 only) or PUSCH 2 (e.g., PUSCH 2 only). In some instances, the UE may determine which PUSCH will carry a power-related report based on the lower or higher SRS resource set ID associated with PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2. In some instances, the UE may determine which PUSCH will carry a power-related report based on the lower or higher DL RSRP (e.g., L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP) associated with PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2. In some instances, the UE may determine which PUSCH will carry a power-related report based on the lower or higher transmit power of the first and second transmit powers. In some instances, the UE may determine which PUSCH will carry a power-related report based on the lower or higher PRB number associated with PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2.

[0368] In the second scenario, the UE cannot transmit PUSCH 1 (e.g., at a first transmit power) and PUSCH 2 (e.g., at a second transmit power) in parallel (e.g., simultaneously). The UE can transmit either PUSCH 1 or PUSCH 2. The UE can transmit PUSCH 1 including a power-related report. The power-related report may include multiple (e.g., two) PHs. In some instances, the multiple (e.g., two) PHs may be (real, real), (real, virtual), or (virtual, real). In some instances, the first PH (e.g., one PH) of the multiple (e.g., two) PHs may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a first transmit power and / or a first maximum transmit power. In some instances, the second PH (e.g., one PH other than the first PH) of the multiple (e.g., two) PHs may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a second transmit power and / or a second maximum transmit power. Alternatively and / or additionally, the second PH of the plurality (e.g., two) PHs may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a set of preset power control parameters and a preset maximum transmit power (or a second maximum transmit power). Alternatively and / or additionally, a power-related report may include a PH. In some instances, the one PH may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a first transmit power and / or a first maximum transmit power. In some instances, the one PH may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a second transmit power and / or a second maximum transmit power. In some instances, the one PH may be real or virtual. In some instances, the one PH may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a higher or lower PH value based on the first transmit power, the first maximum transmit power, the second transmit power, and the second maximum transmit power (e.g., derived therefrom).

[0369] In some instances, when no PUSCH is performed (e.g., one of PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2), the power-related report includes multiple (e.g., two) PHs associated with PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2.

[0370] In the third scenario, the UE can transmit PUSCH 1 in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) with a first reduced transmission power and PUSCH 2 with a second reduced transmission power. In some instances, the UE may perform power reduction and / or power scaling on the first transmission power (e.g., to obtain the first reduced transmission power). In some instances, the UE may perform power reduction and / or power scaling on the second transmission power (e.g., to obtain the second reduced transmission power). The UE may transmit PUSCH 1 including a power-related report. The power-related report may also be included in PUSCH 2. The power-related report may include multiple (e.g., two) power-related reports. In some instances, a first power-related report (e.g., one power-related report) of the multiple (e.g., two power-related reports) may be determined (e.g., derived) based on the first transmission power and / or the first maximum transmission power. In some instances, a second power-related report (e.g., one power-related report other than the first power-related report) of the multiple (e.g., two power-related reports) may be determined (e.g., derived) based on the second transmission power and / or the second maximum transmission power. Alternatively and / or additionally, a first PH (e.g., one PH) of the plurality (e.g., two) PHs may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a first reduced transmission power and / or a first maximum transmission power, and / or a second PH of the plurality (e.g., two) PHs may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a second reduced transmission power and / or a second maximum transmission power. Alternatively and / or additionally, the UE may transmit power-related reports in PUSCH 1 (e.g., PUSCH 1 only) or PUSCH 2 (e.g., PUSCH 2 only).

[0371] In the fourth scenario, the UE cannot transmit PUSCH 1 in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) with a first reduced transmission power and PUSCH 2 with a second reduced transmission power. The UE may transmit PUSCH 1 with either the first reduced transmission power or the first transmission power, or PUSCH 2 with either the second reduced transmission power or the second transmission power. The UE may transmit PUSCH 1 including a power-related report. The power-related report may include multiple (e.g., two) PHs. In some instances, the multiple (e.g., two) PHs may be (real, real), (real, virtual), or (virtual, real). In some instances, the first PH (e.g., one PH) of the multiple (e.g., two) PHs may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a first transmission power and / or a first maximum transmission power. In some instances, the second PH (e.g., one PH other than the first PH) of the multiple (e.g., two) PHs may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a second transmission power and / or a second maximum transmission power. Alternatively and / or additionally, a first PH (e.g., one PH) of the plurality (e.g., two) PHs may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a first reduced transmission power and / or a first maximum transmission power, and / or a second PH of the plurality (e.g., two) PHs may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a second reduced transmission power and / or a second maximum transmission power. Alternatively and / or additionally, a second PH of the plurality (e.g., two) PHs may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a set of preset power control parameters and a preset maximum transmission power (or a second maximum transmission power). Alternatively and / or additionally, a power-related report may include a PH. In some instances, the one PH may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a first transmission power and / or a first maximum transmission power. In some instances, the one PH may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a second transmission power and / or a second maximum transmission power. In some instances, the one PH may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a first reduced transmission power and / or a first maximum transmission power. In some instances, the pH may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a second reduced transmission power and / or a second maximum transmission power. In some instances, the pH may be real or virtual. In some instances, the pH may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a higher or lower pH value based on a first transmission power and a first maximum transmission power, and a second transmission power and a second maximum transmission power (e.g., derived therefrom). Alternatively and / or additionally, the pH may be determined (e.g., derived) based on a higher or lower pH value based on a first reduced transmission power, a first maximum transmission power, a second reduced transmission power, and a second maximum transmission power (e.g., derived therefrom).

[0372] In some instances, in the first, second, third, and / or fourth scenarios (e.g., regardless of whether the UE transmits one or two PUSCHs and / or regardless of how much transmission power the UE uses for PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2), the power-related report includes multiple (e.g., two) PHs. In some instances, a first PH (e.g., one PH) of the multiple (e.g., two) PHs is determined (e.g., derived) based on a first maximum transmission power and a first transmission power. In some instances, a second PH (e.g., one PH other than the first PH) of the multiple (e.g., two) PHs is determined (e.g., derived) based on a second maximum transmission power and a second transmission power.

[0373] In some instances, PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2 are associated with the first serving cell. In some instances, PUSCH 1 is associated with the first TRP, and PUSCH 2 is associated with the second TRP. In some instances, the UE transmits PUSCH 1 via the first beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information, and transmits PUSCH 2 via the second beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information. In some instances, the first beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information is associated with or forms a (Type D) QCL with an SSB or RS in the first serving cell. In some instances, the second beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information is associated with or forms a (Type D) QCL with an SSB or RS in the second cell. In some instances, the second cell is a neighboring cell and / or a non-serving cell.

[0374] In some instances, the uplink channel / signal (e.g., one uplink channel / signal) of the plurality (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals can be dynamically granted scheduling PUSCH, configured granted PUSCH, aperiodic SRS, periodic SRS, semi-static SRS, or PUCCH.

[0375] In some instances, after a UE triggers a power-related report, if the UE is granted permission to make a new / initial uplink transmission (e.g., based on configured or dynamic permission) (and / or if the UE can include and / or accommodate a power-related report in the new / initial uplink transmission), then the UE can transmit a new / initial uplink transmission including a power-related report. In this disclosure, the term "new / initial transmission" (and / or "new / initial uplink transmission") may correspond to a new and / or initial transmission (and / or a new and / or initial uplink transmission), such as a non-retransmission transmission.

[0376] In some instances, power-related reports may include L1 signaling (e.g., CSI reports) (and / or may be transmitted via L1 signaling), such as where the power-related report is a certain type of L1 signaling (e.g., CSI reports).

[0377] In some instances, power-related reports may include MAC signaling (e.g., MAC CE) (and / or may be transmitted via MAC signaling), such as where the power-related report is a certain type of MAC signaling (e.g., MAC CE).

[0378] In some instances, power-related reports can be L1-RSRP reports, L3-RSRP reports, and / or PHR reports.

[0379] In some instances, Figure 12In the example shown, the UE triggers a 1202 power-related report based on (e.g., in response to) the satisfaction of a first set of conditions (e.g., based on determining that the first set of conditions are satisfied). In the first example, if PUSCH 3: (i) is used for a new / initial transmission; (ii) is earlier than PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2; and (iii) is the earliest PUSCH after the UE triggers the 1202 power-related report, then the UE may transmit PUSCH 3 including the power-related report (e.g., the power-related report may be transmitted via PUSCH 3). In the second example, in the following situations: (i) PUSCH 3 is used for retransmission; (ii) PUSCH 3 is not available; and / or PUSCH 3 cannot accommodate the power-related report (e.g., due to a priority sorting procedure, excessive decoding rate, and / or insufficient resources), the UE may transmit the power-related report in the earliest PUSCH, which is the initial transmission after the UE triggers the 1202 power-related report. In the second instance, the UE may be scheduled to transmit PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2 (which do not satisfy the first set of conditions). In some instances, the UE may transmit power-related reports in PUSCH 1 and / or PUSCH 2. In some instances, PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2 may occupy at least partially overlapping time and / or frequency resources, for example, where one or more time and frequency resources occupied by PUSCH 1 are the same as one or more time and frequency resources occupied by PUSCH 2. In some instances, the UE may transmit PUSCH 1 in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) via UE panel 1 (e.g., a panel) and PUSCH 2 via UE panel 2 (e.g., a panel other than UE panel 1). In some instances, the UE may transmit either PUSCH 1 or PUSCH 2 if one or more parameters (e.g., the set X) of PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2 satisfy the first set of conditions. In some instances, the UE may transmit power-related reports in a selected PUSCH (e.g., a PUSCH determined by the UE for use when transmitting power-related reports). In some instances, PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2 are scheduled by a DCI (e.g., a single DCI). In some instances, PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2 are scheduled by different DCIs. In some instances, PUSCH 1 is scheduled by a first DCI in a first CORESET, the CORESETPoolIndex of which is different from that of a second CORESET that includes a second DCI that schedules PUSCH 2. In some instances, PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2 include the same TB. In some instances, the TB included in PUSCH 1 may be different from the TB of PUSCH 2. In some instances, PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2 have the same class and / or the same number of tiers.

[0380] Second concept

[0381] The second concept of this disclosure is that the UE determines whether to perform parallel uplink transmission (e.g., simultaneous uplink transmission) based on the following, for example, performing multiple uplink transmissions in parallel on multiple (e.g., two) UE panels: (i) the L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP associated with the first TRP (e.g., derived from the DL RS) and / or the L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP associated with the second TRP (e.g., derived from the DL RS); (ii) the path loss associated with the first TRP (e.g., derived from the DL RS) and / or the path loss associated with the second TRP (e.g., derived from the DL RS). (iii) the transmission power associated with the uplink transmission to the first TRP (e.g., the transmission power used to perform the uplink transmission to the first TRP) and / or the transmission power associated with the uplink transmission to the second TRP (e.g., the transmission power used to perform the uplink transmission to the second TRP); and / or (iv) the TA associated with the uplink transmission to the first TRP (e.g., the TA used to perform the uplink transmission to the first TRP) and / or the TA associated with the uplink transmission to the second TRP (e.g., the TA used to perform the uplink transmission to the second TRP).

[0382] In some instances, in response to determining to perform parallel uplink transmission (e.g., simultaneous uplink transmission), the UE may perform parallel uplink transmission (e.g., simultaneous uplink transmission). Parallel uplink transmission (e.g., simultaneous uplink transmission) may include performing multiple uplink transmissions in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) on multiple (e.g., two) UE panels. In some instances, the UE may perform parallel uplink transmission (e.g., simultaneous uplink transmission) based on one or more configured permissions or one or more dynamic permissions. In some instances, the one or more dynamic permissions may include one or more DCIs that schedule multiple uplink transmissions (e.g., multiple uplink transmissions to be transmitted in one or more overlapping symbols). In some instances, the one or more dynamic permissions may include a DCI that schedules (e.g., multiple uplink transmissions to be transmitted in one or more overlapping symbols). In some instances, the one or more configured permissions may be type 1CG (e.g., where the one or more configured permissions can be applied without L1 signaling activation) or type 2CG (where the one or more configured permissions can be applied in response to L1 signaling activation).

[0383] In some instances, in response to determining that parallel uplink transmissions are not to be performed (e.g., simultaneous parallel transmissions), the UE may transmit one of a plurality of (e.g., two) uplink transmissions (e.g., the UE may transmit the one uplink transmission of the plurality of transmissions without transmitting all of the plurality of uplink transmissions, such as the two). The UE may abandon (e.g., skip, omit, and / or not perform) another of the plurality of (e.g., two) uplink transmissions (e.g., the other uplink transmission is different from the one uplink transmission transmitted by the UE). In some instances, the plurality of (e.g., two) uplink transmissions overlap with at least one orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol in the time domain.

[0384] Alternatively and / or additionally (with regard to the second concept), the UE may determine whether to perform parallel uplink transmission (e.g., simultaneous uplink transmission), including a first uplink transmission at a first transmission power and a second uplink transmission at a second transmission power. This determination may be based on: (i) the L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP associated with the first TRP (e.g., derived from DL RS) and / or the L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP associated with the second TRP (e.g., derived from DL RS); (ii) the path loss associated with the first TRP (e.g., derived from DL RS) and / or the path loss associated with the second TRP (e.g., derived from DL RS); (iii) the first transmission power and / or the second transmission power; and / or (iv) the TA associated with the first uplink transmission and / or the TA associated with the second uplink transmission.

[0385] In some instances, a first uplink transmission is associated with a first TRP (e.g., a first uplink transmission may be transmitted to a first TRP). In some instances, a second uplink transmission is associated with a second TRP (e.g., a second uplink transmission may be transmitted to a second TRP).

[0386] In some instances, in response to determining to perform parallel uplink transmissions (e.g., simultaneous uplink transmissions), including a first uplink transmission at a first transmission power and a second uplink transmission at a second transmission power, the UE may transmit the first uplink transmission in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) at the first transmission power and the second uplink transmission at the second transmission power. In some instances, the first uplink transmission and / or the second uplink transmission are associated with one or more configured permissions or one or more dynamic permissions (e.g., scheduled and / or configured by them). In some instances, the one or more dynamic permissions may include one or more DCIs that schedule multiple uplink transmissions (e.g., multiple uplink transmissions to be transmitted in one or more overlapping symbols). In some instances, the one or more dynamic permissions may include a DCI that schedules (e.g., multiple uplink transmissions to be transmitted in one or more overlapping symbols) multiple uplink transmissions. In some instances, the one or more configured permissions may be type 1CG (e.g., where the one or more configured permissions can be applied without L1 signaling activation) or type 2CG (where the one or more configured permissions can be applied in response to L1 signaling activation).

[0387] In some instances, in response to determining that parallel uplink transmissions (e.g., simultaneous parallel transmissions) are not performed, including a first uplink transmission at a first transmission power and a second uplink transmission at a second transmission power, the UE may perform one or more operations, including: (i) transmitting one uplink transmission from a plurality of (e.g., two) uplink transmissions (e.g., the UE may transmit one uplink transmission from the plurality of transmissions instead of transmitting all of the plurality of uplink transmissions, such as the two); (ii) determining, based on one, some, and / or all of the points AC, whether to transmit the first uplink transmission in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) at a first reduced transmission power and the second uplink transmission at a second reduced transmission power: (A) an L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP (e.g., derived from DL RS) associated with a first TRP (e.g., the first TRP may be associated with the first uplink transmission) and / or an L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP (e.g., derived from DL RS) associated with a second TRP (e.g., the second TRP may be associated with the second uplink transmission). (a) Path loss associated with a first TRP (e.g., the first TRP may be associated with a first uplink transmission) (e.g., derived from DL RS) and / or path loss associated with a second TRP (e.g., the second TRP may be associated with a second uplink transmission) (e.g., derived from DL RS), (b) First transmission power and / or second transmission power, (d) and / or TA associated with the first uplink transmission and / or TA associated with the second; (iii) determining a first reduced transmission power for the first uplink transmission; (iv) the UE may determine a second reduced transmission power for the second uplink transmission; and / or (v) the UE may perform power scaling on the first transmission power and / or the second transmission power.

[0388] In some instances, where the UE performs power scaling on a first transmit power and / or a second transmit power, the UE can determine a first value and a second value by multiplying the first transmit power and / or the second transmit power by one or more coefficients (between 0 and 1), respectively. The first value may be a first reduced transmit power, and / or the second value may be a second reduced transmit power. In examples, the first transmit power may be multiplied by a first coefficient "a" to determine the first value, and / or the second transmit power may be multiplied by a second coefficient "b" to determine the second value (e.g., where a + b = 1, 0 <= a <= 1, and / or 0 <= b <= 1). In some instances, the first coefficient "a" and the second coefficient "b" are the same. Alternatively and / or additionally, the first coefficient "a" is different from the second coefficient "b".

[0389] In some instances, if the sum of the first reduced transmission power and the second reduced transmission power is not greater than a third transmission power threshold, then the UE may perform parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions of the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission. For example, if the sum of the first reduced transmission power and the second reduced transmission power is not greater than the third transmission power threshold, then the UE may transmit the first uplink transmission (e.g., at the first reduced transmission power) and the second uplink transmission (e.g., at the second reduced transmission power) in parallel. In some instances, if the sum of the first reduced transmission power and the second reduced transmission power is greater than the third transmission power threshold, then the UE does not perform parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions of the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission, and / or the UE may transmit one of the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission (e.g., the UE may transmit either the first uplink transmission or the second uplink transmission).

[0390] In some instances, the multiple (e.g., two) uplink transmissions overlap with at least one OFDM symbol in the time domain. In some instances, the UE transmits multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) via multiple (e.g., two) UE panels. In some instances, the UE transmits the multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals via multiple (e.g., two) beams / spatial filters / spatial relationships / spatial information sets / spatial relationship information sets. In some instances, the UE transmits the first uplink channel / signal of the multiple (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals via a first beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information associated with and / or forming a QCL with the SSB of the first cell. In some instances, the UE transmits the plurality of (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals via a second uplink channel / signal associated with and / or forming a QCL (for the UE) of a second beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information (e.g., the first beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information is different from the second beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information). In some instances, the first cell is different from the second cell. In some instances, the first cell is, for example, the UE's serving cell, and the second serving cell is a neighboring cell associated with the first cell (e.g., the UE's non-serving cell). In some instances, the plurality of (e.g., two) uplink channels / signals are transmitted on a carrier and / or cell.

[0391] In some instances, the UE may perform parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions (e.g., the UE may transmit the multiple uplink channels / signals in parallel via multiple UE panels) if the following conditions are met: (i) the L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP associated with the first TRP is greater than the first RSRP threshold; (ii) the L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP associated with the second TRP is greater than the second RSRP threshold; and / or (iii) the combination (e.g., the sum) of the first and second values ​​is greater than the third RSRP threshold, where the first value corresponds to the L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP associated with the first TRP, and / or the second value corresponds to the L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP associated with the second TRP) are satisfied. It is understood that performing parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions can improve channel quality.

[0392] In some instances, the UE may perform parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions if the following conditions are met: (i) the first path loss associated with the uplink transmission to the first TRP is less than a first path loss threshold; (ii) the second path loss associated with the uplink transmission to the second TRP is less than a second path loss threshold; and / or (iii) the combination (e.g., sum) of the first and second path losses is less than a third path loss threshold.

[0393] In some instances, the UE may perform parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions if the following conditions are met: (i) the first transmission power associated with the uplink transmission to the first TRP is less than a first transmission power threshold; (ii) the second transmission power associated with the uplink transmission to the second TRP is less than a second transmission power threshold; and / or (iii) the combination (e.g., sum) of the first and second transmission powers is less than a third transmission power threshold.

[0394] In some instances, if the TA difference between the first TA associated with an uplink transmission to the first TRP and the second TA associated with an uplink transmission to the second TRP is greater than a threshold (e.g., a TA difference threshold), then the UE is not configured to perform (e.g., not allowed to perform and / or not perform) parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions. The TA difference may be equal to the difference between the first TA and the second TA. The underlying principle behind not configuring (e.g., not allowed) the UE to perform parallel uplink transmissions if the TA difference is greater than the threshold is that the UE's performance of parallel uplink transmissions could cause interference due to an excessively large TA difference. In some instances, if the uplink transmission timing difference between the first TRP and the second TRP is greater than a threshold, then the UE is not configured to perform (e.g., not allowed to perform and / or not perform) parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions. The UE may perform (e.g., in parallel uplink transmissions) a single uplink transmission to (e.g., one of the first and second TRPs). The single uplink transmission may correspond to the uplink transmission that occurs earlier in the time domain and / or is associated with the smallest CORESET pool index among the CORESET pool indices associated with the parallel uplink transmission.

[0395] In some instances, if the TA of an uplink transmission (e.g., in a parallel uplink transmission) causes the uplink transmission to overlap with the downlink symbol (e.g., the TA is too large), then the UE is not configured to perform (e.g., not allowed to perform and / or not perform) parallel (e.g., simultaneously) uplink transmissions.

[0396] In some instances, {15dBm, 20dBm} represents the maximum transmit power associated with multiple (e.g., two) UE panels (and / or multiple (e.g., two) SRS resource sets and / or multiple (e.g., two) UL beams / spatial filters / spatial relationships / spatial information sets / spatial relationship information sets) of the UE. In some instances, {15dBm} may be a first transmit power threshold (e.g., associated with the first UE panel, the first SRS resource set, and / or the first UL beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information). In some instances, {20dBm} may be a second transmit power threshold (e.g., associated with the second UE panel, the second SRS resource set, and / or the second UL beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information). In some instances, a third transmit power threshold may be 23dBm, which is the maximum transmit power for uplink transmission. The UE may determine (e.g., derive) the transmit power for the first uplink transmission based on one or more power control parameters associated with the first TRP. The UE can determine (e.g., derive) the transmission power for the second uplink transmission based on one or more power control parameters associated with the second TRP.

[0397] In some instances, in response to a first determination that the transmission power for the first uplink transmission is less than or equal to a first transmission power threshold (e.g., 15 dBm), a second determination that the transmission power for the second uplink transmission is less than or equal to a second transmission power threshold (e.g., 20 dBm), and a third determination that the combined transmission power (e.g., the sum) of the first and second uplink transmissions is less than or equal to a third transmission power threshold, the UE may transmit the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission in parallel (e.g., simultaneously). In some instances, if none of the determinations (e.g., the first determination, the second determination, and / or the third determination) is obtained, the UE may transmit only one of the first and second uplink transmissions (e.g., if it is determined that the transmission power for the first uplink transmission is greater than the first transmission power threshold, the transmission power for the second uplink transmission is greater than the second transmission power threshold, and / or the combined transmission power is greater than the third transmission power threshold, then the UE may transmit only one of the first and second uplink transmissions).

[0398] In some instances, the UE transmits the first uplink via a first UE beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information.

[0399] In some instances, the UE transmits the second uplink via a second UE beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information.

[0400] In some instances, parallel uplink transmissions (e.g., simultaneous uplink transmissions) may include a first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission. In some instances, the first uplink transmission may include a power-related report. In some instances, the second uplink transmission may include a power-related report. In some instances, the first and second uplink transmissions are the earliest new / initial uplink transmissions since the UE triggered the transmission of a power-related report (e.g., the UE is triggered to transmit a power-related report). For example, there may be no other uplink transmissions scheduled for the UE between the time the power-related report transmission is triggered and the time associated with the first and / or second uplink transmissions.

[0401] In some instances, based on (e.g., in response to) a second set of conditions (e.g., one or more conditions in the first set), such as based on (e.g., in response to) determining that the second set of conditions is met, the UE triggers the transmission and / or generation of a power-related report (e.g., the UE is triggered to transmit and / or generate a power-related report). In some instances, the power-related report may be triggered by a power headroom reporting procedure (e.g., according to the power headroom reporting procedure in 3GPP TS 38.321 V16.5.0). In some instances, the content of the power-related report may differ from the power headroom reporting procedure in 3GPP TS 38.321 V16.5.0.

[0402] In some instances, the second set of conditions is the same as the first set of conditions (as described in the first concept description). Alternatively and / or additionally, the second set of conditions may differ from the first set of conditions. In some instances, the second set of conditions includes one, some, and / or all of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, and / or seventeenth conditions. In some instances, based on (e.g., in response to) determining (e.g., detecting and / or identifying) that one, some, and / or all of the second set of conditions are met, the UE may trigger the transmission and / or generation of a power-related report (e.g., the UE is triggered to transmit and / or generate a power-related report). In some instances, based on (e.g., in response to) triggering the transmission and / or generation of a power-related report (e.g., in response to determining that one, some, and / or all of the second set of conditions are met), the UE may generate and / or transmit a power-related report.

[0403] In some instances, the transmission and / or generation of power-related reports can utilize the first concepts outlined in this document. Figure 10 , Figure 11 Triggered by one or more techniques provided in and / or other descriptions herein. In some instances, whether the second set of conditions is met can be determined using the first concept described herein. Figure 10 , Figure 11 And / or one or more techniques provided in other parts of this disclosure to determine (e.g., detection and / or identification). In some instances, whether a power-related report is transmitted can be determined using the first concepts described herein. Figure 10 , Figure 11 And / or one or more techniques provided in other parts of this disclosure to determine. In some instances, the first concepts described herein may be used. Figure 10 , Figure 11 One or more techniques provided in and / or other parts of this disclosure detect and / or identify that the second set of conditions is met. In some instances, the UE may use the concepts described herein with respect to the first concept, Figure 10 , Figure 11 And / or one or more techniques provided in other parts of this disclosure to transmit power-related reports (e.g., triggered power-related reports). In some instances, the UE may use the first concepts described herein, Figure 10 , Figure 11 One or more techniques provided in and / or other parts of this disclosure may be used to transmit power-related reports in one or more uplink transmissions in parallel uplink transmissions (e.g., simultaneous uplink transmissions). For example, the UE may transmit power-related reports when and / or after the transmission of power-related reports is triggered.

[0404] Third concept

[0405] The third concept is that the UE can be configured to use a first number of SRS resource groups (e.g., pairs) (and / or several SRS resource index groups). In this disclosure, the term "SRS resource group" may refer to "SRS resource pair" and / or may be used interchangeably with "SRS resource pair". An SRS resource group may include two SRS resources. Embodiments are envisioned where one SRS resource group includes more than two SRS resources. The first number of SRS resource groups is less than or equal to a second number of SRS resource groups. The UE may transmit information about the second number of SRS resource groups to the network. The UE may report its capability associated with the number of SRS resource groups it can maintain. For example, the information transmitted to the network may indicate a second number of SRS resource groups, where the second number of SRS resource groups may correspond to the number of SRS resource groups the UE can maintain (e.g., the second number of SRS resource groups may correspond to the maximum number of SRS resource groups the UE can maintain). In some instances, the UE does not anticipate that the first number of SRS resource groups (e.g., the number of SRS resource groups the UE is configured to use in one or more SRS resource groups) is greater than the second number of SRS resource groups.

[0406] In this example, the UE reports two SRS resource groups to the network. For instance, the UE may report a second number of SRS resource groups to the network as two, or the maximum number of SRS resource groups the UE can maintain is two. The UE may be configured to use a first SRS resource set and a second SRS resource set, where the first and second SRS resource sets may have the same purpose (e.g., both the first and second SRS resource sets are used for beam management, non-codebook-based PUSCH transmission, codebook-based PUSCH transmission, and / or antenna switching). In some instances, the UE is intended to be configured to use up to two timing-overlapping (e.g., overlapping in the time domain) SRS resource groups. In this example, SRS resources 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are associated with the first SRS resource set, and SRS resources 1', 2', 3', 4', 5', 6', 7', 8' are associated with the second SRS resource set. The UE may be configured such that up to two SRS resource groups in each SRS resource set are timing-overlapping. In the example, {SRS resource 1, SRS resource 1'} and {SRS resource 2, SRS resource 2'} can be time-overlapping, while other SRS resources (other than {SRS resource 1, SRS resource 1'} and {SRS resource 2, SRS resource 2'}) are not configured to use time overlap.

[0407] An SRS resource group includes two or more SRS resources that a UE can transmit in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) within a single timing period. In some instances, the UE can transmit a first SRS resource (e.g., one SRS resource) in the SRS resource group via a first UE beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information, and the UE can transmit a second SRS resource (e.g., one SRS resource other than the first SRS resource) in the SRS resource group via a second UE beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information (e.g., the first UE beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information is different from the second UE beam / spatial filter / spatial relationship / spatial information / spatial relationship information). In some instances (e.g., within an SRS resource group, such as within an SRS resource pair), the UE can be configured to use the two or more SRS resources in the SRS resource group that overlap in the time domain (e.g., the two or more SRS resources in the SRS resource group overlap in the time domain), and / or the UE can transmit the two or more SRS resources in parallel (e.g., simultaneously). In some instances, (between SRS resource groups, such as between SRS resource pairs), the UE may not be able to transmit two SRS resource groups in parallel (e.g., simultaneously), and / or the UE is not intended to be configured to use two SRS resource groups that overlap in the time domain. In some instances, a first SRS resource (e.g., one SRS resource) of the two or more SRS resources is associated with a first SRS resource set, and a second SRS resource (e.g., one SRS resource other than the first SRS resource) of the two or more SRS resources is associated with a second SRS resource set.

[0408] In some instances, the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set are associated with the same purpose. In some instances, the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set may include the same number of SRS resources. Alternatively and / or additionally, the number of SRS resources in the first SRS resource set may differ from the number of SRS resources in the second SRS resource set. In some instances, the first SRS resource set may be associated with a first UE panel (e.g., a UE panel), and the second SRS resource set may be associated with a second UE panel (e.g., a UE panel other than the first UE panel).

[0409] Figure 13Situation 1300 is illustrated, where the UE reports information associated with its ability to perform parallel uplink transmissions (e.g., simultaneous uplink transmissions). In some instances, at 1302, the UE and the network (e.g., gNB) may exchange and / or transmit UE capability information associated with multiple (e.g., two) UE panels of the UE and / or UE capability information associated with parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions. In some instances, the UE may transmit a report 1304 to the network indicating the number of groups N. N may correspond to the number of beam groups (e.g., the number of beam pairs), such as the number of beam groups (e.g., the maximum number of beam groups) that the UE is configured to use, where each of the one or more beam groups can be used to transmit two or more SRS resources in parallel (e.g., simultaneously). Alternatively and / or additionally, N may correspond to the number of SRS resource groups (e.g., the number of SRS resource pairs), such as the number of SRS resource groups that the UE is configured to use (e.g., the maximum number of SRS resource groups), where each of the one or more SRS resource groups can be used to transmit two or more SRS resources in parallel (e.g., simultaneously). In some instances, report 1304 may be the same message (or a different message) as the message instructing the UE to perform parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions. The UE may be expected to be configured to use a maximum of N SRS resource groups (e.g., the UE may not be expected to be configured to use multiple SRS resource groups with a number exceeding N). In some instances, the UE may receive configuration 1306 of multiple (e.g., two) SRS resource sets from the network. In some instances, the number of time-overlapping SRS resources in the different SRS resource sets of the multiple (e.g., two) SRS resource sets may not exceed N. In some instances, {SRS resource 1, SRS resource 1'} is an SRS resource group configured in the same symbol (e.g., within the plurality of SRS resource groups). The UE may transmit one or more first SRS resources associated with one, two, three, or four ports in one set (e.g., via transmission 1308). The UE may transmit one or more second SRS resources associated with one, two, three, or four ports in another set (e.g., via transmission 1310). The one set may correspond to a first SRS resource set including the one or more first SRS resources, and / or the other set may correspond to a second SRS resource set including the one or more second SRS resources. In an example, transmission 1308 may include the transmission of SRS resource 1, and / or transmission 1310 may include the transmission of SRS resource 1'.In some instances, transmissions 1308 and 1310 can be performed in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) via different beams / spatial filters / spatial relationships / spatial information sets / spatial relationship information sets of the UE. For example, transmissions 1308 and 1310 can be performed in parallel SRS transmissions 1318 (e.g., simultaneous SRS transmissions). For example, the UE can transmit SRS resource 1 and SRS resource 1' in the same symbol. The network can determine whether to schedule parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions 1316 based on the number N of SRS resource groups and / or based on uplink channel quality. In some instances, the network can determine (e.g., identify and / or recognize) uplink channel quality (e.g., uplink channel state, uplink path loss, uplink channel distortion, Doppler shift, Doppler spread, and / or delay spread) based on SRS resource 1 and / or SRS resource 1'. In some instances, the network can determine (e.g., identify and / or recognize) interference from SRS resource 1 and / or SRS resource 1'. In some instances, the network may determine (e.g., derive) intra-UE interference based on SRS resource 1 and / or SRS resource 1'. In scenario 1300, for a channel associated with SRS resource 1, the network may measure or derive interference based on SRS resource 1'. In some instances, based on determination 1316 whether to schedule parallel uplink transmissions (e.g., for the UE) and / or whether to schedule simultaneous transmissions (STXMP) across multiple panels (e.g., for the UE), the network may transmit one or more DCIs 1312. In some instances, if determination 1316 includes determining to schedule parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions for the UE (and / or if determination 1316 includes determining to schedule STXMP), then the one or more DCIs 1312 may schedule multiple (e.g., two) uplink transmissions (e.g., PUSCH) that at least partially overlap in the time domain. In some instances (e.g., according to Option 1, a single DCI (sDCI) schedules multiple TRP uplink transmissions), the one or more DCIs may include DCIs (e.g., sDCIs) that schedule multiple (e.g., two) PUSCHs that at least partially overlap in the time domain. In some instances (e.g., according to Option 2, multiple DCIs (mDCIs) schedule multiple TRP uplink transmissions), the one or more DCIs may include a first DCI that schedules a first PUSCH and a second DCI that schedules a second PUSCH, wherein the first PUSCH and the second PUSCH may at least partially overlap in the time domain. In some instances, the UE may perform parallel uplink transmission 1314 of the multiple uplink transmissions (e.g., the multiple uplink transmissions may include a PUSCH 1 transmission via UE panel 1 of the UE and a PUSCH 2 transmission via UE panel 2 of the UE).

To enable a UE to perform a single TRP operation on a cell, the UE may receive and / or listen to signaling on the cell via an activated Transport Configuration Indicator (TCI) state (e.g., an activated TCI state).

To enable a UE to perform a single TRP operation on a cell, the UE may transmit the SRS on the cell via an SRS resource (e.g., one SRS resource).

[0427] Regarding one or more embodiments described herein, in some instances, the UE may perform parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions (via the at least two UE panels).

[0439] Figure 14Situation 1400 is illustrated, in which the UE communicates with the network (e.g., transmits one or more signals to the network and / or receives one or more signals from the network) via multiple (e.g., two) serving cells, including serving cell 1 and serving cell 2. In scenario 1400, the UE is capable of performing parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions. In some instances, the transmission and / or generation of power-related reports is triggered 1402 by the UE and / or the network, for example using one or more techniques provided herein. The UE has uplink permission to schedule PUSCH 3 in serving cell 2. PUSCH 3 may be the earliest new transmission after the power-related report is triggered 1402 (e.g., no other PUSCH is scheduled for the UE between the time the power-related report is triggered 1402 and the time PUSCH 3). PUSCH 3 may contain power-related reports. In some instances, the power-related reports may include reports for serving cell 1 and reports for serving cell 2. The UE may determine whether the reports for serving cell 1 and serving cell 2 are real or virtual reports. In some instances, the UE determines the true report for serving cell 2 because PUSCH 3 is present in serving cell 2. In some instances, the UE can determine the true report for serving cell 1 based on (e.g., in response to) scheduled and / or configured uplink transmissions (e.g., PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2) in serving cell 1. In some instances, PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2 have (and / or) at least one symbol that overlaps in the time domain. In some instances, the UE can transmit PUSCH 1 via a first beam / spatial filter / spatial relation / spatial information / spatial relation information and PUSCH 2 via a second beam / spatial filter / spatial relation / spatial information / spatial relation information. In some instances, PUSCH 1 is associated with a first UE panel (e.g., UE panel 1), and / or PUSCH 2 is associated with a second UE panel (e.g., UE panel 2). In some instances, the UE may determine whether to determine a real report and a virtual report for serving cell 1 based on whether the UE transmits both PUSCH 1 and PUSCH 2 in serving cell 1. In some instances, the report for serving cell 1 (e.g., determined by the UE) may include {a virtual report associated with PUSCH 1, a virtual report associated with PUSCH 2}, {a real report associated with PUSCH 1, a virtual report associated with PUSCH 2}, {a real report associated with PUSCH 1, a real report associated with PUSCH 2}, or {a virtual report associated with PUSCH 1, a real report associated with PUSCH 2}. In some instances, the real report may correspond to a report for a TRP in a serving cell based on actual transmit power and / or actual uplink permission.In some instances, a virtual report may correspond to a report for a TRP in a serving cell based on a set of preset power control parameters.

[0440] Figure 15 This is a flowchart 1500 from the perspective of the UE according to an exemplary embodiment. In step 1505, the UE receives one or more uplink grants to schedule two uplink transmissions, wherein the two uplink transmissions are scheduled to be transmitted in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) using different beams / spatial filters / spatial relationships / spatial information sets / spatial relationship information sets. In step 1510, the UE determines whether to perform parallel uplink transmission (e.g., simultaneous uplink transmission) based on the following: (A) whether the combination (e.g., sum) of transmission power associated with uplink transmissions to the first TRP and the second TRP is greater than a transmission power threshold (e.g., the third transmission power threshold discussed above, such as 23 dBM or other values), (B) whether the combination (e.g., sum) of path loss associated with uplink transmissions to the first TRP and the second TRP is greater than a path loss threshold (e.g., the third path loss threshold discussed above), and / or (C) whether the combination (e.g., sum) of L1-RSRP or L3-RSRP associated with the first TRP and the second TRP is less than an RSRP threshold (e.g., the third RSRP threshold discussed above). In step 1515, based on determining whether to perform a parallel uplink transmission (e.g., in response to determining whether to perform a parallel uplink transmission), the UE transmits one uplink transmission to the network or transmits two uplink transmissions to the network (e.g., the two uplink transmissions may be performed in parallel (e.g., simultaneously)).

For example, a first uplink transmission (e.g., a first PUSCH) of the two uplink transmissions may be performed on one or more first symbols, and a second uplink transmission (e.g., a second PUSCH) of the two uplink transmissions may be performed on one or more second symbols, wherein the one or more first symbols at least partially overlap with the one or more second symbols.

[0448] In one embodiment, the UE can transmit the two uplink transmissions in parallel (e.g., simultaneously).

[0452] Figure 16 This is a flowchart 1600 from the perspective of a UE, according to an exemplary embodiment. In step 1605, the UE triggers the transmission of a report to the network in response to determining (e.g., detecting) that: (A) the combination (e.g., sum) of the first transmission power of the first uplink transmission and the second transmission power of the second uplink transmission is greater than a threshold; (B) the combination (e.g., sum) of the first change in the first path loss estimate associated with the first uplink transmission and the second change in the second path loss estimate associated with the second uplink transmission is greater than a change threshold; and / or (C) the number of failed parallel scheduling attempts (e.g., the number of failed simultaneous scheduling attempts) of the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission is greater than a counting threshold, wherein the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission are scheduled (e.g., configured to) be transmitted in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) on the first serving cell. In step 1610, the UE transmits the report to the network in response to triggering the transmission of the report.

[0453] In one embodiment, the UE is configured to perform parallel (e.g., simultaneous) uplink transmissions on a first serving cell.

[0454] In one embodiment, the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission overlap in the time domain.

[0455] In one embodiment, the first uplink transmission is associated with a first TRP, and / or the UE transmits the first uplink transmission via a first TCI state.

[0457] In one embodiment, the UE transmits the report via a first uplink and / or a second uplink.

[0458] In one embodiment, the first uplink transmission and / or the second uplink transmission are associated with the earliest scheduled permission after the transmission that triggers the report by the UE.

[0459] In one embodiment, the UE transmits a report via a third uplink transmission (e.g., an uplink transmission different from the first uplink transmission and / or the second uplink transmission) on a second serving cell (e.g., a serving cell different from the first serving cell).

[0460] In one embodiment, the first uplink transmission corresponds to PUSCH or PUCCH.

[0461] In one embodiment, the second uplink transmission corresponds to PUSCH or PUCCH.

[0462] In one embodiment, the third uplink transmission corresponds to PUSCH or PUCCH.

[0463] In one embodiment, the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission are new / initial transmissions. In an example, the first uplink transmission is a first new / initial transmission and / or the second uplink transmission is a second new / initial transmission.

[0464] In one embodiment, both the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission (e.g., they are new / initial transmissions and / or not used for retransmission) are used for new TB transmissions or for new Media Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MACPDU) transmissions. In an example, each of the first and second uplink transmissions includes a new TB transmission (e.g., a new TB transmission), such as where both the first and second uplink transmissions include transmissions of the same TB (and / or where the first and second uplink transmissions are not retransmissions of TBs). In an example, each of the first and second uplink transmissions includes a new MAC PDU transmission (e.g., a new MAC PDU transmission), such as where both the first and second uplink transmissions include transmissions of the same TB (and / or where the first and second uplink transmissions are not retransmissions of TBs).

[0465] In one embodiment, the first uplink transfer and the second uplink transfer (e.g., they are new / initial transfers and / or not used for retransmission) are used for different new TB transfers or for different new MAC PDU transfers. In an example, the first uplink transfer includes a first new TB transfer, and the second uplink transfer includes a second new TB transfer, wherein the first new TB transfer is different from the second new TB transfer. In an example, the first uplink transfer includes a first new MAC PDU transfer, and the second uplink transfer includes a second new MAC PDU transfer, wherein the first new MAC PDU transfer is different from the second new MAC PDU transfer.

[0466] In one embodiment, the report may be a power-related report and / or a power margin report.

[0467] In one embodiment, the report includes a first power-related information associated with a first uplink transmission and a second power-related information associated with a second uplink transmission.

[0468] In one embodiment, the first power-related information indicates the power difference between a first maximum transmission power and a first transmission power used for a first uplink transmission (and / or includes information associated with the power difference).

[0471] Return to reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one exemplary embodiment of the UE, the apparatus 300 includes program code 312 stored in memory 310. CPU 308 executes program code 312 such that the UE is able to: (i) trigger a report transmission to the network in response to determining (e.g., detecting) that: (A) the combination (e.g., sum) of a first transmission power of a first uplink transmission and a second transmission power of a second uplink transmission is greater than a threshold; (B) the combination (e.g., sum) of a first change in a first path loss estimate associated with a first uplink transmission and a second change in a second path loss estimate associated with a second uplink transmission is greater than a change threshold; and / or (C) the number of failed parallel scheduling attempts (e.g., the number of failed simultaneous scheduling attempts) of the first and second uplink transmissions is greater than a counting threshold, wherein the first and second uplink transmissions are scheduled (e.g., configured) to be transmitted in parallel (e.g., simultaneously) on a first serving cell; and (ii) transmit the report to the network in response to triggering the report transmission. In addition, CPU 308 can execute program code 312 to perform one, some, or all of the above actions and steps and / or other actions and steps described herein.

[0472] Figure 17This is a flowchart 1700 from the perspective of a UE in a wireless communication system, according to an exemplary embodiment. In step 1705, the UE receives one or more uplink grants for scheduling a first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission on a first serving cell. The first uplink transmission is associated with a first TA. For example, the first uplink transmission will be transmitted by applying the first TA (e.g., the one or more UL grants may indicate that the first uplink transmission will be transmitted by applying the first TA). The second uplink transmission is associated with a second TA. For example, the second uplink transmission will be transmitted by applying the second TA (e.g., the one or more UL grants may indicate that the second uplink transmission will be transmitted by applying the second TA). The first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission at least partially overlap in the time domain (e.g., the time period during which the UE is scheduled to perform the first uplink transmission at least partially overlaps with the time period during which the UE is scheduled to perform the second uplink transmission). In step 1710, based on (e.g., in response to) a comparison of the TA difference between the first TA and the second TA with a first threshold, the UE transmits the first uplink transmission and / or the second uplink transmission. For example, the UE can determine whether to transmit the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission in parallel based on a comparison of the TA difference with a first threshold. The comparison of the TA difference with the first threshold can correspond to determining whether the TA difference is greater than the first threshold or whether the TA difference is less than or equal to the first threshold.

[0473] In one embodiment, based on (e.g., in response to) a TA difference greater than a first threshold, the UE transmits a first uplink transmission and abandons (e.g., skips, omits, and / or does not perform) a second uplink transmission (e.g., based on a comparison result including determining that the TA difference is greater than the first threshold, the UE transmits the first uplink transmission and abandons the second uplink transmission). In some instances, the UE transmits the first uplink transmission on a first serving cell.

[0474] In one embodiment, based on (e.g., in response to) a TA difference less than or equal to a first threshold, the UE performs parallel transmission of a first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission on the first serving cell (e.g., simultaneous transmission) (e.g., the UE transmits the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission in parallel (e.g., simultaneously)) (e.g., based on a comparison result including determining that the TA difference is less than or equal to the first threshold, the UE performs parallel transmission of the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission on the first serving cell).

[0475] In one embodiment, the first uplink transmission is associated with a first TRP, and / or the UE transmits the first uplink transmission via a first TCI state.

[0476] In one embodiment, the second uplink transmission is associated with the second TRP, and / or the UE transmits the first uplink transmission via the second TCI state.

[0477] In one embodiment, the first uplink transmission corresponds to the first PUSCH or the first PUCCH (e.g., the first uplink transmission includes the transmission of the first PUSCH or the first PUCCH).

[0478] In one embodiment, the second uplink transmission corresponds to the second PUSCH or the second PUCCH (e.g., the second uplink transmission includes the transmission of the second PUSCH or the second PUCCH).

[0479] In one embodiment, the first uplink transmission and / or the second uplink transmission correspond to PUSCH or PUCCH.

[0480] In one embodiment, the UE transmits a first uplink transmission and abandons (e.g., skips, omits, and / or does not perform) a second uplink transmission based on (e.g., in response to) the following: (i) the TA difference is greater than a first threshold (e.g., the comparison result includes determining that the TA difference is greater than the first threshold); and (ii) a first time associated with the first uplink transmission is earlier than a second time associated with the second uplink transmission. The first time may correspond to the time period during which the first uplink transmission is scheduled to be transmitted, the time unit (e.g., time slot) during which the first uplink transmission is scheduled to be transmitted, and / or the start time of the scheduled start of the first uplink transmission. The second time may correspond to the time period during which the second uplink transmission is scheduled to be transmitted, the time unit (e.g., time slot) during which the second uplink transmission is scheduled to be transmitted, and / or the start time of the scheduled start of the second uplink transmission. Therefore, since the time when the first uplink transmission is scheduled to start and / or proceeds is earlier than the time when the second uplink transmission is performed, the UE may transmit the first uplink transmission (and / or may abandon the second uplink transmission). In an example, based on (e.g., in response to) a TA difference greater than a first threshold, the UE may determine to transmit only one of a first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission, wherein the UE may select the transmission as the first uplink transmission based on a first time associated with the first uplink transmission being earlier than a second time associated with the second uplink transmission.

[0481] In one embodiment, the UE transmits a first uplink transmission and abandons (e.g., skips, omits, and / or does not perform) a second uplink transmission based on (e.g., in response to) the following: (i) the TA difference is greater than a first threshold (e.g., the comparison result includes determining that the TA difference is greater than the first threshold); and (ii) the first CORESET pool index (e.g., CORESETPoolIndex) associated with the first uplink transmission is less than the second CORESET pool index (e.g., CORESETPoolIndex) associated with the second uplink transmission. The first CORESET pool index may correspond to an index of a first CORESET pool that includes the first CORESET associated with the first uplink transmission. The second CORESET pool index may correspond to an index of a second CORESET pool that includes the second CORESET associated with the second uplink transmission. Therefore, since the first CORESET pool index associated with the first uplink transmission is less than the second CORESET pool index associated with the second uplink transmission, the UE may transmit the first uplink transmission (and / or may abandon the second uplink transmission). In an example, based on (e.g., in response to) a TA difference greater than a first threshold, the UE can determine to transmit only one of a first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission, wherein the UE can select the transmission as the first uplink transmission based on the first CORESET pool index associated with the first uplink transmission being less than the second CORESET pool index associated with the second uplink transmission.

[0482] In one embodiment, the one or more uplink grants include a first uplink grant and a second uplink grant. Alternatively and / or additionally, the first uplink grant may schedule a first uplink transmission and may be associated with a first TRP. Alternatively and / or additionally, the second uplink grant may schedule a second uplink transmission and may be associated with a second TRP. In an example, the first uplink transmission is scheduled by a DCI in a first CORESET associated with a first CORESET pool index. The second uplink transmission may be scheduled by a DCI in a second CORESET associated with a second CORESET pool index. The first CORESET pool index is associated with a first TRP. The second CORESET pool index is associated with a second TRP. Alternatively and / or additionally, the first uplink transmission is configured to use information from the first CORESET pool index. The second uplink transmission is configured to use information from the second CORESET pool index.
