Systems and methods for controlling uplink power in a non-terrestrial network (NTN). An NTN station transmits a reference signal at a first time having a defined transmission power and the reference signal is received by non-terrestrial user equipment. The user equipment evaluates the reference signal and determines a first downlink loss of the reference signal by calculating a difference between a measured power level of the received reference signal and the defined transmission power. The NTN station transmits a communication signal at a second time and is received by the user equipment, which estimates a second downlink loss of the communication signal based on the first downlink loss and a power level of the communication signal. A first uplink loss is estimated based on the second downlink loss, and the user equipment adjusts a transmission power of its transmitter based on the first uplink loss.

Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for link-adaptation (LA) power backoff for beamforming. In one embodiment, a method in a network node includes triggering a link adaptation for a channel transmission, the link adaptation comprising adjusting a transmit power of the channel transmission based at least in part on whether a previous channel transmission was correctly decoded. In another embodiment, a method in a wireless device includes receiving a downlink, DL, channel transmission at a first transmit power value; and transmitting a message to a network node, the message indicating a power saturation condition as a result of the first transmit power value.

The disclosure provides a power allocation method for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems and a base station thereof. The method includes the following steps: receiving a first channel estimation error parameter from first user equipment, and receiving a second channel estimation error parameter from second user equipment; configuring a first minimum rate requirement of the first user equipment and a second minimum rate requirement of the second user equipment; determining a power allocation factor according to the first channel estimation error parameter, the second channel estimation error parameter, the first minimum rate requirement, and the second minimum rate requirement; and determining first transmission power for the first user equipment and second transmission power for the second user equipment according to the power allocation factor.

To improve throughput rates of packets transmitting positive train control (PTC) messages in an asynchronous wireless network that supports controlling movement of trains, data rates are adjusted based one or more conditions of the link. Modulation and coding schemes with less overhead can be employed to increase the data rate at which information is transferred when an estimated link quality or conditions are relatively good. Conversely, when the estimated link quality is relatively poor, more robust modulation and coding schemes for transmissions can be used to maintain link performance but at the cost of reduced data rates. Optionally, if the estimated link quality is higher than required to achieve a predefined maximum transmit rate at a given default power rate, transmit power can be reduced to that necessary for transmit at the predefined maximum transmit rate.

The disclosure provides techniques for power control for communications under a Very Low Power (VLP) mode. A communication device includes: processing circuitry, to encode a message to be transmitted to a second communication device, to indicate a setpoint, wherein the setpoint is defined as a minimum power at which a packet is required to be transmitted under a set of packet parameters, such that the packet could be successfully received by the communication device; and a transceiver, to transmit the message to the second communication device, and receive the packet transmitted at a power determined based on the setpoint and a margin, from the second communication device, wherein the margin is determined based on a probability of measurement errors.

A signaling system includes a pre-emphasizing transmitter and an equalizing receiver coupled to one another via a high-speed signal path. The receiver measures the quality of data conveyed from the transmitter. A controller uses this information and other information to adaptively establish appropriate transmit pre-emphasis and receive equalization settings, e.g. to select the lowest power setting for which the signaling system provides some minimum communication bandwidth without exceeding a desired bit-error rate.
