  • Patent number: 11778566
    Abstract: Some techniques and apparatuses described herein enable a user equipment (UE) to autonomously modify one or more transmission parameters, other than a transmit power, for uplink communications after detecting a change in pathloss. The UE may modify the one or more transmission parameters without receiving instructions from a base station, such as in downlink control information, with updated value(s) for the one or more transmission parameters. As a result, the UE and the base station avoid the round trip delay that would otherwise be required to modify the transmission parameter(s) and perform link adaptation. Some techniques and apparatuses described herein apply to non-terrestrial networks with a large round trip delay. Other aspects are described.
