The WTRU may be configured to measure for an averaged power periodically and/or in response to triggers.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed to describe cell selection in low cost machine type communication (LC-MTC) devices. An LTC-MC device may measure a plurality of downlink signals from a plurality of cells. The LTC-MC may detect a channel condition, e.g., by determining a cell with better uplink coverage than a downlink cell. The detection of the channel condition may include measuring an uplink pathloss. The LTC-MC may report the channel condition as a decoupled channel condition, e.g., when an uplink cell is identified with uplink coverage better than the downlink cell. The channel condition may be reported, e.g., via a set of Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) preambles. The set of PRACH preambles may be predefined. The channel condition may be reported via a higher layer signaling.

Abstract: A WTRU may be configured to transmit to a network (e.g., in a first indication) a full power uplink transmission capability associated with the WTRU, e.g., Cap3. The WTRU may receive (e.g., in a second indication) an indication of whether the WTRU is allowed to operate with full power transmission. The WTRU may determine (e.g., from a set of TPM Is), a subset of TPM Is based on, for example, the WTRU's full power uplink transmission capability (e.g., where the subset of TPM Is includes a first TPM I). The set of TPM Is may comprise one or more subsets of TPM Is. The WTRU may transmit (e.g., in a third indication) an indication of the determined subset of TPM Is. The WTRU may receive (e.g., in a fourth indication) an indication of the first TPM I in the subset of TPM Is. The WTRU may transmit to the network uplink data precoded with the first TPMI.

Abstract: Techniques for uplink power control (e.g., for New Radio (NR)) are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may determine that the WTRU is to perform a first and a second transmissions using a first and a second transmission beams. The WTRU may determine an uplink transmission power for one or more of the first or second transmissions. For example, if the angular separation of the first and the second transmission beams is greater than a first separation threshold, the WTRU may determine the uplink transmission power having a first maximum power level parameter and a second maximum power level parameter. If the angular separation of the first and the second transmission beams is less than a second separation threshold, the WTRU determine the uplink transmission power having a shared maximum power level parameter. The WTRU may transmit the first and second transmissions using the first and second transmission beams, respectively.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for power control for wireless transmissions are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may reduce transmission power to channels for carrier aggregation such that a total transmit power of the WTRU is smaller than or equal to a maximum transmission power level in all symbols of a transmission. Further, transmission power may be allocated to the channels for carrier aggregation based on priority. Also, transmission power may be allocated to a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) with uplink control information over a PUSCH without uplink control information. Moreover, transmission power may be allocated to a PUCCH or a PUSCH over a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission. Additionally, the WTRU may transmit data over one or more channels, of the channels for carrier aggregation, at the respective transmission power allocated to the one or more channels.
