[0047] In some embodiments, the same signal with different characteristics (e.g., beam index, time point, duration, time window, cluster) has the same reference power but different offsets.

In some embodiments, the same signal with new transmissions and retransmissions has the same reference power but different power offsets for new transmissions and retransmissions. In some embodiments, the same signal for different devices may have the same reference power but different offsets. For example, the power information for a first device type is the reference power or maximum power, and no offset is configured for the first device type. The power information for a second device type is based on the reference power and the offset.

[0048] In some embodiments, the power information includes first power information or second power information.

In some embodiments, the first offset is not configured or does not exist. In some embodiments, the first reference power and the second reference power are the same, or they refer to a power parameter, or they refer to a synchronization signal.

[0052] In some embodiments, first power information is applied to a first signal, and second power information is applied to a second signal, including: the first power information for the first signal is determined by a first reference power or a first offset, and the second power information for the second signal is determined by a second reference power or an offset, wherein the first signal or the second signal may be the same, or the first signal or the second signal may be different parts of a signal, or they may be different signals during a process (e.g., RACH), or they may be different transmissions (e.g., new transmissions or retransmissions or transmissions based on different characteristics). For example, LP-SS and LP-WUS are different signals, but they have the same reference power and different power offsets. For example, the UE performs measurements based on LP-SS and SSB, where the power of LP-SS is obtained based on the reference power and the offset, and the power of SSB is obtained based on the reference power or absolute power.

[0053] In some embodiments, first power information is configured for a first beam, a first time point, a first duration, a first time window, a first serving cell, a first serving cell group, a first secondary cell, or a first secondary cell group, a first cluster, or a first virtual cell; and second power information is configured for a second beam, a second time point, a second duration, a second time window, a second serving cell, a second serving cell group, a second secondary cell, or a second secondary cell group, a second cluster, or a second virtual cell.

[0068] Example 1

[0069] This embodiment relates to power control for signals with different beam characteristics, time-domain characteristics, and / or frequency-domain characteristics. The beam may be represented by an index associated with a synchronization signal block (SSB), channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), low-power synchronization signal (LP-SS), downlink (DL) reference signal, or one or more other types of reference signals. In some embodiments, the SSB includes a cell-defined SSB (CD-SSB) or a non-cell-defined SSB (NCD-SSB).

[0070] Figure 3 Example power configurations for different beam directions according to one or more embodiments of the present technology are shown. Several example methods for providing different transmit powers are discussed below.

[0071] Method 1-1: Each beam index can be configured / indicated to have the same or different power information, such as one or more values, or one or more offsets.

[0072] For example, each beam index is associated with a set or range of power values. Beam index 1 is associated with power set 1 or power range 1, beam index 2 is associated with power set 2 or power range 2, beam index 3 is associated with power set 3 or power range 3, and beam index 4 is associated with power set 4 or power range 4, and so on.

[0073] Method 1-2 Power sets or power ranges can be organized with associated index values. Each beam index can be configured / indicated with a corresponding power set / range index.

[0074] For example, beam index 1 is associated with power set / range index 1, beam index 2 is associated with power set / range index 2, beam index 3 is associated with power set / range index 3, beam index 4 is associated with power set / range index 4, and so on.

[0075] Methods 1-3 Power sets or power ranges can be organized into different patterns. Each beam index can be configured / indicated with a corresponding power pattern. In some embodiments, a pattern includes multiple beams. In some embodiments, a pattern indicates whether the power is increasing or decreasing. Figure 4 An example of power increasing with increasing beam index is shown according to one or more embodiments of the present technology.

[0076] Methods 1-4 This option allows you to indicate or configure a reference power. An offset is configured for each beam based on the reference power. By default, if no offset is configured, different beam indices correspond to the reference power. If an offset is configured, different beam indices correspond to the reference power with the configured offset. For example, the offset value can be one of {-3, -1, 0, 1, 3}.

[0077] In some embodiments, different transmit powers in the time domain can be configured. Figure 5 Examples of power configuration changes at different points in time in the time domain are shown according to one or more embodiments of the present technology.

[0078] Method 2-1 At different times, one or more identical or different power values ​​are configured.

[0079] For example, each time point is associated with a power value set or power value range. Time point 1 is associated with power set 1 or power range 1, time point 2 is associated with power set 2 or power range 2, time point 3 is associated with power set 3 or power range 3, and time point 4 is associated with power set 4 or power range 4, and so on.

[0080] In some embodiments, a single power value is configured for signals associated with different beams within a time window comprising one or more time points. In these cases, the different beams have the same power. In some embodiments, a set of power values ​​is configured for signals associated with different beams within a time window comprising one or more time points. In these cases, the different beams may have different power values ​​corresponding to different values ​​in the set of power values. For example, one or more values ​​in the set of power values ​​corresponding to beam indices may be arranged in ascending or descending order based on time points.

[0081] Method 2-2 Different power modes are configured for different time points.

[0082] Option 1: Power distribution patterns can be applied to multiple time points. For example, for a total of 12 time points, multiple patterns can be defined for the initial four time points. Figure 6A An example of a power pattern for four time points according to one or more embodiments of the present technology is shown. In some embodiments, the power pattern may be repeated for the remaining time points. Figure 6B An example of a power pattern repeatedly applied at 12 time points is shown according to one or more embodiments of the present technology.

[0083] Option 2: The power distribution pattern can be applied to multiple time periods or time windows, with or without repetition. Figure 6C An example of a power pattern applied to a time period according to one or more embodiments of the present technology is shown.

[0084] Method 2-3: Different time points, durations, and / or time windows are configured with different index values. Each index value corresponds to a range or a power value in a set of power values.

[0085] For example, time point 1 is associated with index value 1, time point 2 with index value 2, time point 3 with index value 3, time point 4 with index value 4, and so on.

[0086] Method 2-4 Different time points, time periods, and / or time windows are configured with different offset values ​​relative to the reference power value.

[0087] In some embodiments, different transmission powers can be configured in the frequency domain. For example, when frequency hopping is configured, one or more corresponding power values ​​can be configured for each frequency hopping. Figure 7 Examples of power values ​​or sets of power values ​​for different frequency hopping frequencies are shown according to one or more embodiments of the present technology. For different links with different frequency locations, each link is associated with a corresponding power configuration.

[0088] Example 2

[0089] In addition to beam characteristics and time-domain and / or frequency-domain characteristics, different power configurations can be provided for different spatial characteristics. This embodiment relates to power control of signals with different spatial characteristics.

[0090] A cluster may include multiple Transmitter Receiver Points (TRPs). In some embodiments, multiple beams form a cluster, and a virtual cell may include multiple clusters. Figure 8 An example of a cluster having multiple beams according to one or more embodiments of the present technology is shown. As discussed in Embodiment 1, the power parameters (e.g., power values ​​and / or power offsets) for different beams can be the same or different. The power parameters for different clusters can also be configured to be the same or different.

[0091] In some embodiments, a reference power configuration can be defined for cluster i. The reference power configuration can be based on a 6G reference signal, LP-SS, or SSB. Each beam in cluster i is configured with an offset value.

[0092] In some embodiments, cell selection is based on cluster power and / or cluster-related measurements (e.g., Reference Received Power (RSRP), Reference Received Quality (RSRQ), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), etc.). For example, cell selection criterion S is satisfied when, for a given cluster i, Srxlev > T1i and Squal > T2i. Here, Srxlev is the maximum cell selection RX level (dB), and Squal is the maximum cell selection quality (dB). T1i and T2i are configured for cluster i and can be different for different clusters.

[0093] In some embodiments, the measurement is based on cluster power. For example, the first wireless communication device may measure whether the serving cell satisfies Srxlev>S in any cluster. IntraSearchP1 And Squal>S IntraSearchQ1 This is to determine whether to perform in-frequency measurements and / or measurements of different frequency cells / different radio access technology (RAT) frequency cells. Here, S IntraSearchP1 and / or S IntraSearchQ1 It can be configured for clusters within a cell.

[0094] In some embodiments, if the first wireless communication device supports time-based measurements, the first wireless communication device performs in-frequency, out-of-frequency, or out-of-RAT measurements based on a configured duration or time point. During each duration, or at each time point, the cluster configuration indicates measurement resources based on the corresponding cluster. During each duration, or at each time point, the first wireless communication device may check whether Srxlev and / or Squal meet conditions, and / or whether the distance between the first wireless communication device and the serving cell reference location is less than a threshold.

[0095] In some embodiments, an indicator identifying a cluster (e.g., cluster i) is included in a signaling message from a second wireless communication device (e.g., downlink control information). In some embodiments, the signaling message indicates the beam associated with the cluster. In some embodiments, the signaling message may be scrambled by a cell identifier and / or a cluster index. In some embodiments, system information indicates the cluster index. In some embodiments, the cluster information is configured based on time information (e.g., duration x and / or time point y).

[0096] Example 3

[0097] This embodiment relates to power control for signals that have different characteristics (e.g., symbol characteristics) at the physical layer level. These characteristics may be related to the device type.

[0098] In wireless communication, a frame comprises multiple time slots, and each time slot comprises multiple symbols. Symbols may include orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. Symbols may also include on / off keying symbols generated by multiplexing wake-up signals and OFDM waveforms. Figure 9 An example of an OOK symbol is shown, which includes multiple ON chips (chips with high power levels) and OFF chips (chips with low / zero power levels). In some embodiments, the OOK chips are the same as the OOK symbol.

[0099] In some embodiments, the power allocation among different OFDM symbols is the same for LP-WUS and / or LP-SS. In some embodiments, the power allocation among different OFDM symbols is the same for LP-WUS / LP-SS, except for OOK off symbols. In some embodiments, the power allocation among OOK on symbols is the same for LP-WUS / LP-SS.

[0100] In some embodiments, the UE assumes or expects that the power allocation or information is the same in the following: between different OFDM symbols, between different OFDM symbols other than one or more OFDM symbols carrying OOK turn-off chips, between different OFDM symbols including symbols carrying OOK turn-on chips, between different OOK chips, or between different symbols carrying OOK turn-on chips.

[0101] In some embodiments, different power offsets may be used for LP-SS and LP-WUS. For example, a first power offset between LP-SS and SSB / PSS / SSS may differ from a second power offset between LP-WUS and SSB / PSS / SSS. In some embodiments, LP-SS and LP-WUS may have the same reference power, which may be based on SSB or a reference signal.

[0102] Example 4

[0103] This embodiment relates to power control for signals with different device characteristics. The power control parameters may vary depending on the device type. For example, for A-IoT devices, power control configuration information may be carried in signaling messages via PRDCH or A-IoT DL channel.

[0104] In some embodiments, the power information includes first power information and second power information. In some embodiments, the first power information applies to a first type of device, and the second power information applies to a second type of device. In some embodiments, the first type of device and the second type of device share the same modulation, the same waveform, the same frame structure, or the same channel.

[0105] In some embodiments, the first power information includes the maximum transmit power. In some embodiments, the second power information includes at least one of the maximum power, the reference power, or the power offset.

[0106] In some embodiments, one or more signals include a first signal and a second signal. In some embodiments, first power information is applied to the first signal, and second power information is applied to the second signal. In some embodiments, the first signal includes a low-power synchronization signal, a synchronization signal block, a primary synchronization signal, a secondary synchronization signal, or a reference signal, and the second signal includes a low-power wake-up signal. In some embodiments, the second power information is obtained based on a power offset and / or the first power information. In some embodiments, the first power information is obtained based on a first power offset, and the second power information is obtained based on a second power offset.

[0107] In some embodiments, the power information is the same between different OFDM symbols, between different OFDM symbols other than one or more OFDM symbols carrying OOK turn-off chips, between different OFDM symbols including symbols carrying OOK turn-on chips, between different OOK chips, or between different symbols carrying OOK turn-on chips.

[0108] In some embodiments, the first type of device includes devices that do not support power amplification (e.g., type 1). This type of device assumes that the transmit power is maximum for an OOK-conducted symbol.

[0109] In some embodiments, the second type of device includes a device that supports power amplification (e.g., type-2a or type 2b). When the second type of device receives power control signaling, it determines the transmission power based on the signaling and / or the maximum power. For example, the device may determine P PDRCH =Pmax + Offset, where the offset is indicated by PRDCH. The offset value includes one of {0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10, -12, -15}. The field in this signaling consists of 2, 3, 4, or 5 bits. As another example, the device can determine P... PDRCH =Pmax-Offset, where the offset is indicated by PRDCH. The offset value can include one of {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,15}. The field in this signaling consists of 2, 3, 4, or 5 bits.

[0110] In some embodiments, the second type of device assumes a reference power for the OOK (Out of Root) signal. When the second type of device receives power control signaling, it determines the transmit power based on the signaling and / or the reference power. For example, the device may determine P... PDRCH =P reference +Offset, where the offset is indicated by PRDCH. The offset value can include one of {0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}. The field in this signaling consists of 2, 3, 4, or 5 bits.

[0111] In some embodiments, the power allocation for UL messages may be the same or different for the access procedure or random access procedure of an A-IoT device. Figure 10AAn example power control signaling according to one or more embodiments of the present technology is illustrated. In this example, power control signaling indicated via a downlink command is applied to the transmission of a first message and a third message. Based on the downlink command, the first message and the third message can use the same or different power offsets or absolute powers. For example, the downlink command may include an X-bit power indication for the first message and a Y-bit power indication for the third message. In some embodiments, X equals Y.

[0112] Figure 10B Another example power control signaling according to one or more embodiments of the present technology is illustrated. In this example, a first portion and a second portion of a first message use the same power offset or absolute power indicated by a DL command. For example, the DL command may include an X-bit power indication for the first portion of the first message and a Y-bit power indication for the second portion of the first message. In some embodiments, X equals Y.

[0113] In some embodiments, the power offset is configured in a System Information Block (SIB). The SIB is applied to LP-SS, LP-WUS, or both LP-SS and LP-WUS. Several examples are described below.

[0114] Example 1 The power offset used for LP-SS includes at least one of {-12, -9, -3, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12}. These values ​​may correspond to, for example, {db-3, db0, db3, db6}, {db-3, db0, db3, db6, db9, db12}, {db-6, db-3, db0, db3, db6, db9, db12}, or {db-9, db-3, db0, db3, db6, db9, db12}. The power offset is defined based on the offset or ratio of the LP-SS resource element relative to the SSS / PSS / SSB resource element.

[0115] Example 2 The power offset used for LP-WUS includes at least one of {-12, -9, -3, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12}. The power offset is defined based on the offset or ratio of the LP-WUS resource element relative to the LP-SS resource element. In some embodiments, it is assumed that the LP-WUS resource element has the same power as the LP-SS resource element. In some embodiments, the power offset is applied to both LP-WUS and LP-SS.

[0116] Example 3: Power indication for LP-SS or LP-WUS, with absolute values, e.g., INTEGER (-60..50), (-70,60), (-80,70).

[0117] Example 4 The preamble power can be the same as that of LP-WUS, LP-SS, or both LP-WUS and LP-SS. In some embodiments, there is an offset relative to the preamble power of LP-WUS and / or LP-SS. In some embodiments, there is an offset between the PSS / SSS / SSB and the preamble. In some embodiments, the preamble includes a postamble, a middle preamble, a delimiter, or a sequence.

[0118] Example 5 Power information indications, such as offset or absolute values, are sent via SIB1 or SIB26 or are pre-configured.

[0119] Example 5

[0120] Power control information includes one or more parameters applicable to transmissions during downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, or random access procedures. Example power control parameters are shown below.

[0121] In some embodiments, the power information is based on one or more parameters, which include at least one of the following: a first parameter based on the sum of two components, a second parameter based on channel bandwidth or the number of resource blocks, a third parameter based on the random access procedure, a fourth parameter based on path loss estimation, a fifth parameter based on the number of layers or modulation and coding scheme, a sixth parameter based on power control adjustment or transmission timing, a seventh parameter based on the signaling format, or an eighth parameter based on the maximum output power.

[0122] Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)

[0123] In some embodiments, the PUSCH transmission power is configured for virtual cell c1 and cluster index c2. max P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 can be determined or configured in the PUSCH transmission timing, where timing i is limited to a duration or a point in time.

[0124] (1) Maximum output power P max ;

[0125] (2) The first power parameter is based on a parameter consisting of the sum of two components, or on the RACH process (including msg1, msg3, msgA, PUSCH in RACH), or on the configuration;

[0126] (3) The second power parameter, which is based on the PUSCH bandwidth;

[0127] (4) The third power parameter, which is based on the RACH process (including msg1, msg3, msgA, and PUSCH in RACH) or based on configuration;

[0128] (5) The fourth power parameter is the downlink path loss estimate calculated by the UE using the reference signal (RS) or the RSRP filtered by a higher layer. The reference signal can be the reference signal in LP-SS, PSS / SSS or 6G.

[0129] (6) The fifth power parameter, which is based on the number of layers or modulation and coding scheme (MCS); and

[0130] (7) The sixth power parameter, which is based on the PUSCH power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission timing.

[0131] Example implementation methods may be provided as follows.

[0132] In some embodiments, at least one of the parameters is based on a duration (e.g., index x) or a point in time (e.g., index y). In some embodiments, the parameters are based on one or more index values ​​representing different characteristics (e.g., beam characteristics, frequency characteristics, or spatial characteristics).

[0133] Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH)

[0134] In some embodiments, the PUCCH transmission power is configured for virtual cell c1 and cluster index c2 by P max P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 are determined, either within a duration or at a specific point in time. For example, if the UE transmits PUCCH using an active UL BWP b on carrier f in a primary cell, virtual cell, or cluster c, with a PUCCH power control adjustment state having index l, the UE determines the PUCCH transmission power at the PUCCH transmission timing i within the time duration x or time point y. .

[0135] (1) Maximum output power P max ;

[0136] (2) The first power parameter, which is based on the sum of the two components used for PUCCH;

[0137] (3) The second power parameter, which is based on the PUCCH bandwidth or the number of PRBs;

[0138] (4) The third power parameter is the downlink path loss estimate calculated by the UE using RS resources. RS resources can be LP-SS, PSS / SSS or reference signals in 6G.

[0140] (6) The fifth power parameter, which is the PUCCH transmission power adjustment component;

[0141] (7) The sixth power parameter is the PUCCH power control adjustment state, for example, the active UL BWPb of carrier f for virtual cell c and the PUCCH transmission timing i.

[0142] Example implementation methods may be provided as follows.

[0143] Detection Reference Signal (SRS)

[0144] The power control information used for SRS is similar to that used for PUSCH, except that there is no fifth power parameter.

[0145] Random Access Channel (RACH)

[0146] According to LP-SS, the UE determines the transmission power for the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) based on the active UL BWPb of the carrier f of the virtual cell and the cluster c based on DL RS (e.g., LP-SS), within the duration x or at the transmission timing i at time point y.

[0149] (3) Second power parameter, which is based on path loss. Wherein, DL RS is LP-SS or DL ​​RS, for example, LP-SS is associated with PRACH transmission, or PRACH transmission is triggered by LP-WUS.

[0150] Example implementation methods may be provided as follows.

[0151] In some embodiments, LP-WUS indicates power parameters used to determine PRACH power. A third power parameter is indicated by LP-WUS, which depends on LP-WUS configuration / enabling. Example implementations may be provided below.

[0152] For example, if LP-WUS-related configurations are configured, P3 can also be configured. As another example, if X bits in LP-WUS indicate the presence of a power offset / adjustment for PRACH transmission, the PRACH power can be adjusted based on the LP-WUS indication.

[0153] In some embodiments, the power parameters for UL signals or UL transmissions are defined based on characteristics. For example, power parameters are defined based on per beam, time point / duration / window, per frequency location, per antenna port, per cluster, virtual cell, cell, SCell (group), or per device type.

[0154] Figure 11 An example of a wireless communication system 1100 in which the technology according to one or more embodiments of the present technology can be applied is shown. The wireless communication system 1100 may include one or more second wireless communication devices (BS) 1105a, 1105b, one or more wireless devices (or UEs) 1110a, 1110b, 1110c, 1110d, and a core network 1125.

[0155] Figure 12This is a block diagram representation of a portion of a radio station to which one or more embodiments of the present invention may be applied. Radio station 1205, such as a network device, a second wireless communication device, or a wireless device (or user equipment, UE), may include processor electronics 1210, such as a microprocessor implementing one or more wireless technologies presented herein. Radio station 1205 may include transceiver electronics 1215 for transmitting and / or receiving wireless signals via one or more communication interfaces, such as antenna 1220. Radio station 1205 may include other communication interfaces for transmitting and receiving data. Radio station 1205 may include one or more memories (not explicitly shown) configured to store information such as data and / or instructions. In some embodiments, processor electronics 1210 may include at least a portion of transceiver electronics 1215. In some embodiments, at least some of the disclosed technologies, modules, or functions are implemented using radio station 1205. In some embodiments, radio station 1205 may be configured to perform the methods described herein.

[0156] The embodiments, modules, and functional operations disclosed herein may be implemented in digital electronic circuits, or in computer software, firmware, or hardware (including the structures disclosed herein and their equivalents), or in one or more combinations thereof. The disclosed and other embodiments may be implemented as one or more computer program products, i.e., one or more computer program instruction modules encoded on a computer-readable medium for execution by or control of the operation of a data processing apparatus. The computer-readable medium may be a machine-readable storage device, a machine-readable storage substrate, a memory device, a material composition affecting machine-readable propagation signals, or one or more combinations thereof. The term "data processing apparatus" encompasses all means, devices, and machines for processing data, including, for example, a programmable processor, a computer, or multiple processors or computers. In addition to hardware, an apparatus may also include code that creates an execution environment for the computer program in question, such as code constituting processor firmware, a protocol stack, a database management system, an operating system, or one or more combinations thereof. Propagation signals are artificially generated signals, such as machine-generated electrical, optical, or electromagnetic signals, which are generated to encode information for transmission to a suitable receiver device.

[0157] Computer programs (also known as programs, software, software applications, scripts, or code) can be written in any programming language, including compiled or interpreted languages, and can be deployed in any form, including as standalone programs or as modules, components, subroutines, or other units suitable for use in a computing environment. A computer program does not necessarily correspond to a file in a file system. A program can be stored as a portion of a file that holds other programs or data (e.g., one or more scripts stored in a markup language document), as a single file dedicated to the program in question, or as multiple co-located files (e.g., a file storing one or more modules, subroutines, or code sections). A computer program can be deployed to execute on a single computer, or on multiple computers located at a single site or distributed across multiple sites and interconnected by a communication network.

[0158] The processes and logic described herein can be executed by one or more programmable processors, which execute one or more computer programs to perform functions by performing operations on input data and generating output. The processes and logic can also be executed by special-purpose logic circuits (e.g., FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) or ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits)), and the apparatus can also be implemented as special-purpose logic circuits. Processors suitable for executing computer programs include, for example, both general-purpose and special-purpose microprocessors, and any one or more processors of any kind of digital computer. Typically, the processor receives instructions and data from read-only memory or random access memory, or both. The basic elements of a computer are the processor for executing instructions and one or more memory devices for storing instructions and data. Typically, a computer will also include one or more mass storage devices (e.g., magnetic disks, magneto-optical disks, or optical disks) for storing data, or operatively coupled to receive data from or transfer data to, or both. However, a computer does not need to have such devices. Computer-readable media suitable for storing computer program instructions and data include all forms of non-volatile memory, media, and memory devices, including, for example, semiconductor memory devices (e.g., EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory devices); magnetic disks (e.g., internal hard disks or removable disks); magneto-optical disks; and CD-ROM and DVD-ROM disks. Processors and memory may be supplemented or incorporated therein by dedicated logic circuitry.

[0159] It should be noted that the wireless communication operation disclosed herein reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional methods. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that information and communication technologies (ICTs) account for approximately 4% of total global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Furthermore, conventional networks sometimes exacerbate causes of climate change. For example, based on a global average of approximately 485 grams of CO2 produced per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity, a rough estimate suggests that this would generate 145.5 million metric tons of CO2. The implementation method for operating wireless communication disclosed herein reduces power consumption by employing an adaptive power control configuration based on the characteristics of the signal, beam, and channel. For example, power control parameters tailored to different beam / device types help avoid unnecessary consumption in conventional procedures.

[0160] Furthermore, the GSMA, representing the global mobile operators and telecommunications industry, has estimated that power consumption currently accounts for 20 to 40% of network operators' operating costs, and 5G could lead to a significant increase in RAN energy consumption (up to four to five times). However, technologies to reduce this consumption can be incorporated into subsequent generations of mobile networks, such as 6G. Using the embodiments disclosed herein to extend power control capabilities allows for adaptive control of power usage, thereby avoiding wasteful CO2 emissions. Therefore, the disclosed implementation methods for operating wireless communications mitigate climate change and its impacts.
