A transmit power control method of a first station in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system includes: receiving path loss information from an (access point) AP, the path loss information containing a maximum value among path losses between the AP and at least one or more stations included in the WLAN system; controlling a transmit power by using the path loss information; and transmitting a frame according to the controlled transmit power. In said controlling the transmit power by using the path loss information, the transmit power is controlled by using a path loss obtained by adding the maximum value and a path loss between the first station and the AP or by using the path loss between the first station and the AP.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be scheduled to send uplink data to a base station using a particular transmission length provided by the base station. The UE may send multiple repetitions of the uplink data to the base station using transmissions that have varying lengths. The UE may determine a transmit power based on the length provided by the base station and use that transmit power for transmitting the repetitions, regardless of the actual lengths of the repetitions.

Methods and apparatuses for voice over long-term evolution/voice over new radio (VoLTE/VoNR) performance for a cellular communication system. A method of operating a base station includes receiving, from a user equipment (UE), uplink (UL)signals; identifying, based on the UL signals, a first and second parameters; determining first and second UL power control parameters based on the first and second parameters, respectively; determining a first time period for the first UL power control parameter and a second time period for the second UL power control parameter, wherein the first time period is longer than the second time period; updating the first UL power control parameter based on the first time period and the second UL power control parameter based on the second time period; and transmitting, to the UE, the updated first and second UL power control parameters for an UL transmit power of the UE.

A first device and second device communicate using mmWave communication with antenna alignment based on processing of ultra wide band (UWB) pulses. A limit on angle resolution due to a small number of antennas on either of the devices is relieved by using two or more carrier frequencies in the UWB pulses. A limit on angle resolution is further overcome in some situations by use of a neural network to refine angle estimates. In some situations, received power values are further used to select an angle for beam alignment.

Methods and/or systems for power management by a user equipment (UE) in an uplink transmission. The method may include determining, whether feedback related to transmit power of the UE, from a network entity is available and determining a first transmit power of the UE based on the determination and at least one of a plurality of transmitting parameters associated with the UE, evaluating a first spectral efficiency of the UE upon transmitting data at the first transmit power in a predefined time duration, determining a plurality of second transmit power. The method may include evaluating a plurality of second spectral efficiencies and determining a maximum spectral efficiency among the first and the plurality of second spectral efficiencies and transmitting the data at final transmit power among the first and the second plurality of second spectral efficiencies, the final transmit power corresponds to the maximum spectral efficiency.

A method and apparatus for allocating radio resources in a RAN deployment in an Enterprise Network. Radio resource parameter allocation decisions for all the Base Stations and Access Points (BS/APs) in the deployment are made responsive to network graphs formed using predicted path loss. In one embodiment the predicted path loss values are simulated for a particular enterprise network deployment, network graphs are formed using the path loss values, and radio resources parameters are allocated responsive to the network graphs. Advantageously, the network graphs provide the network with the ability to quickly and efficiently allocate radio resources, which can be automated. In the initial installation, this reduces cost and time. During operation, quick and efficient resource re-allocation provides quick adaptation to resource changes, an advantage that is useful particularly in the context of a CBRS system in which previously-available channels can be terminated.

Methods for performing power management of a multi-interface transponder (MIT) device, e.g., such as positional tag device. The MIT device may transition between various power states, e.g., based on detected events, such as detecting movement of the MIT device, receiving a wakeup signal, receiving an indication of a transition in transportation mode, and/or detecting that the MIT device may be lost, such as based on a lack of contact with another device for more than a threshold period of time.

A user equipment (UE), such as a mobile phone, may support multiple power classes. Power classes can define maximum output power levels for uplink transmissions. A base station of a radio access network (RAN) can, based on metrics reported by the UE, dynamically instruct the UE to switch to using a different power class. For example, the base station may instruct the UE to switch from using a first power class with a higher maximum output power to using a second power class with a lower maximum output power, in order to preserve battery life of the UE in situations in which the second power class provides sufficient output power for uplink transmissions to reach the base station.
