  • TECHNIQUES AND APPARATUSES FOR POWER CONTROL FOR UPLINK CHANNELS
    Publication number: 20180206196
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may transmit a control channel and a data channel using contiguous resource allocations of a portion of a slot. The control channel may be associated with control channel power spectral density (PSD) and the data channel may be associated with a data channel PSD. When a difference between the control channel PSD and the data channel PSD exceeds a maximum delta value, the UE may experience degraded performance as a result of tonal interference and/or the like. In some aspects, the UE may determine a control channel transmit power for the control channel and a data channel transmit power for the data channel. The control channel transmit power and the data channel transmit power may be determined such that the maximum delta value is not exceeded and that a threshold relating to a link budget is satisfied, thereby ensuring that performance is not degraded.
