    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) are described. A UE may establish communication with a set of transmission reception points including a first transmission reception point and a second transmission reception point. The UE may receive a single control message including one or more respective timing advance indications for uplink channel transmissions to one or more respective transmission reception points. In some examples, each timing advance indication may identify a respective transmission reception point using a respective timing advance value. The UE may determine a first timing advance value for the uplink channel transmissions based on the one or more respective timing advance indications identifying a respective transmission reception point. The UE may then transmit, to the first transmission reception point, an uplink channel transmission over an uplink channel using the first timing advance value determined for the first transmission reception point.

  • Publication number: 20240422690
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which one or more UEs may communicate with one or more base stations or transmission reception points (TRPs) based on scheduling information provided to the one or more UEs that schedule multiple transport blocks (TBs) for transmission. The multiple TBs may be divided into separate TB groups and different open loop power control parameters may be applied to the separate TB groups. Different open loop power control parameters may be identified based on a parameter set indication field that is included in scheduling information that schedules the multiple TBs. The parameter set indication field may indicate different open loop power control parameter sets with normal or power boosted parameters for different groups of TBs. In cases where multiple TRPs are used for communications, transmissions to different TRPs may have different power parameters based on the TB group and TRP.
