Various methods and systems are provided for allocating time-frequency resources for downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) communications between base stations and mobile stations. Different forms of resource allocation messages including combinations of bitmaps and bitfields provide additional information about the resources and/or how they are assigned. In some implementations the resource allocation messages enable reduced overhead, which may ultimately improve transmission rates and/or the quality of transmissions.

A wireless device receives: a first maximum total transmit power allowed for a first cell group of a first type of radio access technology; and a second maximum total transmit power allowed for a second cell group of a second type of radio access technology. It is determined that a total transmission power exceeds a value based on: a first power for transmission of first uplink signal(s) via the first cell group, and a second power for transmission of second uplink signal(s) via the second cell group. The first and second powers are less than or equal to the first and second maximum total transmit powers respectively. Scheduled transmission of the first uplink signal(s) of the first cell group is dropped in response to the first cell group being of the first type of radio access technology. Second uplink signal(s) are transmitted to a base station.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for power control for dual connectivity. A UE may identify a power control configuration that determines priorities for uplink transmissions over multiple component carriers and one or more base stations. The UE may identify a union of semi-static uplink or flexible transmissions between multiple component carriers employed by one cell group, such as a master cell group and a secondary cell group, and determine a configured power level for the cell group. The UE may then determine whether to transmit an uplink transmission on a cell of another cell group, based on the power control configuration and the configured power level.

Various embodiments provide a communication method, a communications apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium. In those embodiments, a first transmit power can be determined for transmitting first information in a first time unit on a first carrier and a second transmit power can be determined for transmitting second information in a second time unit on a second carrier. A third transmit power can be determined for transmitting the second information in a first time period and transmitting the second information in a second time period using the second transmit power or the third transmit power. The second information can be sent in the first time period using the third transmit power. In those embodiments, a sum of powers used by a terminal device to transmit two uplink carriers in a same time period does not exceed a maximum transmit power of the terminal device.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine whether an uplink communication that is scheduled to be transmitted by a plurality of physical uplink repetitions in multiple slots on a plurality of beams is subject to a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) condition. The UE may determine a transmission adjustment for the plurality of physical uplink repetitions on the plurality of beams, based at least in part on a determination that the uplink communication is subject to the MPE condition, and transmit the uplink communication based at least in part on the transmission adjustment.

This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for increasing the transmit power of wireless communication devices operating on power spectral density (PSD)-limited wireless channels. Some implementations more specifically relate to physical layer (PHY) convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) designs that support distributed transmission. In some implementations, a PPDU may be generated based on one or more legacy tone plans. In such implementations, a portion of the PPDU may be modulated on a number (M) of tones representing a logical RU, and the M tones may be further mapped to M noncontiguous subcarrier indices in accordance with a distributed tone plan. In some other implementations, a PPDU may be generated based on a distributed tone plan. In such implementations, a portion of the PPDU may be modulated on a number (M) of tones coinciding with M noncontiguous subcarrier indices in accordance with the distributed tone plan.
