The invention relates to methods for adjusting the transmit power utilized by a mobile terminal for uplink transmissions, and to methods for adjusting the transmit power used by a mobile terminal for one or more RACH procedures. The invention is also providing apparatus and system for performing these methods, and computer readable media the instructions of which cause the apparatus and system to perform the methods described herein. In order to allow for adjusting the transmit power of uplink transmissions on uplink component carriers, the invention suggests introducing a power scaling for uplink PRACH transmissions performing RACH procedures on an uplink component carrier. The power scaling is proposed on the basis of a prioritization among multiple uplink transmissions or on the basis of the uplink component carriers on which RACH procedures are performed.

Disclosed is a radio communication system in which transmission parameters, such as MCS of MBSFN, the number of subframes, and a transmission power of a reserved cell, are adaptively output, based on a unicast traffic volume in a MBSFN area, a number of terminals, and a number of cells of the MBSFN area, so that a system throughput in the MBSFN area is maximized while satisfying an MBSFN quality requirement condition.

Wireless stations may operate to configure direct communication with neighboring wireless stations (direct communication between wireless stations without an intermediate access point). Mechanisms for near-field device-to-device communications are disclosed. A wireless station may be configured to determine a minimum power level for a near-field device-to-device datapath. The wireless device may determine an average channel interference for a first discovery channel and compare the average channel interference to a first threshold. If the average channel interference is less than the first threshold, the wireless device may select a first transmission mode associated with a first power level and determine a maximum data rate for the first transmission mode. If the maximum data rate at least meets a quality of service requirements for a device-to-device transmission with a neighboring wireless device, the wireless device may perform device-to-device transmissions with the neighboring wireless device using the first transmission mode.

In a method of device-to-device communication, efficient power management is provided when a primary device has a low battery level. The primary device can send synchronization signals and discovery messages to secondary devices by looping through a sequence of transmit power values in a sequence of consecutive frames, where the sequence of transmitting values includes a default power value and a reduced power value.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may receive one or more downlink control information (DCI) transmissions including a plurality of transmit power control (TPC) commands. The plurality of TPC commands may relate to an uplink channel transmit power for a plurality of uplink beam-pairs. The wireless communication device may determine the uplink channel transmit power for the plurality of uplink beam-pairs based at least in part on the plurality of TPC commands. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Management of context and power control information enables different power control schemes for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint based on proximity services or applications. Context information may be defined as situation data about a service or application that is used to help define a power control scheme to be implemented. Power control information may be defined as control or status data for power control, which can be used for reporting or controlling the transmitting power of a peer in a P2P network. Context and power control information may be managed across multiple layers such as the application layer, service layer, media access control layer, or physical layer. Context and power control information is updated and exchanged between or among peers for context-related power control in proximity services.

A cellular communication device is configured to use Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA) for communicating with a cellular communication network using 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) radio access technologies. In NSA mode, the device may receive separate transmit power control commands for LTE and NR transmissions, respectively. In some situations, the cellular communication device may be commanded to use LTE and NR transmit powers that when combined would exceed regulatory limits or performance limits. In these situations, LTE and NR uplink transmissions are scheduled to implement time-division multiplexing, so that the LTE and NR uplink transmissions occur during different time intervals rather than concurrently.
