The UE determines at least one of an index (j) of a target received power of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) to be transmitted in the TTI and a path loss scaling factor, an index (qd) of a reference signal used for measuring path loss for the carrier frequency, or an index (l) of a power control process used for the carrier frequency. The UE then calculates the reference PH based on one or more of the determined at least one index, and reports, in the TTI, a PHR including the reference PH for the carrier frequency.

  • Patent number: 10805213
    Abstract: In a cluster of microservice nodes, each microservice node comprises a microservice and microservices form a service mesh. Data communications across the service mesh are controlled to prioritize sequence in which various data parameters are sent to destination nodes, so that data needs of a destination microservice are met as quickly as possible. An originator program receives, from a destination, data usage information relating to access of the data parameters received by a destination program from the originator program. The originator program determines, for the destination microservice, a priority order of the data parameters based on the historic data usage information, and transmits input data in the priority order to the destination program.
