The disclosure of the prior Applications are considered part of and are incorporated by reference into this Patent Application.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0002] Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to techniques and apparatuses for transmit power control (TPC) configuration for physical uplink control channel repetition across multiple component carriers.

BACKGROUND

[0003] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, or the like). Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC- FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE/LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0004] A wireless network may include one or more network nodes that support communication for a user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. A UE may communicate with a network node via downlink communications and uplink communications. “Downlink” (or “DL”) refers to a communication link from the network node to the UE, and “uplink” (or “UL”) refers to a communication link from the UE to the network node.

[0005] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different UEs to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and/or global level. New Radio (NR), which may be referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink, using CP-OFDM and/or single-carrier frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink, as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] Various aspects of the disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. One skilled in the art should appreciate that the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or combined with any other aspect of the disclosure. For example, an apparatus may be implemented or a method may be practiced using any number of the aspects set forth herein. In addition, the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover such an apparatus or method which is practiced using other structure, functionality, or structure and functionality in addition to or other than the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of a claim. [0027] Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, or the like (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system. [0028] While aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with a 5G or New Radio (NR) radio access technology (RAT), aspects of the present disclosure can be applied to other RATs, such as a 3G RAT, a 4G RAT, and/or a RAT subsequent to 5G (e.g., 6G).

[0029] Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100, in accordance with the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and/or a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, among other examples. The wireless network 100 may include one or more network nodes 110 (shown as a network node 110a, a network node 110b, a network node 110c, and a network node 1 lOd), a user equipment (UE) 120 or multiple UEs 120 (shown as a UE 120a, a UE 120b, a UE 120c, a UE 120d, and a UE 120e), and/or other entities. A network node 110 is a network node that communicates with UEs 120. As shown, a network node 110 may include one or more network nodes. For example, a network node 110 may be an aggregated network node, meaning that the aggregated network node is configured to utilize a radio protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single radio access network (RAN) node (e.g., within a single device or unit). As another example, a network node 110 may be a disaggregated network node (sometimes referred to as a disaggregated base station), meaning that the network node 110 is configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed among two or more nodes (such as one or more central units (CUs), one or more distributed units (DUs), or one or more radio units (RUs)).

[0030] In some examples, a network node 110 is or includes a network node that communicates with UEs 120 via a radio access link, such as an RU. In some examples, a network node 110 is or includes a network node that communicates with other network nodes 110 via a fronthaul link or a midhaul link, such as a DU. In some examples, a network node 110 is or includes a network node that communicates with other network nodes 110 via a midhaul link or a core network via a backhaul link, such as a CU. In some examples, a network node 110 (such as an aggregated network node 110 or a disaggregated network node 110) may include multiple network nodes, such as one or more RUs, one or more CUs, and/or one or more DUs. A network node 110 may include, for example, an NR base station, an LTE base station, a Node B, an eNB (e.g., in 4G), a gNB (e.g., in 5G), an access point, a transmission reception point (TRP), a DU, an RU, a CU, a mobility element of a network, a core network node, a network element, a network equipment, a RAN node, or a combination thereof. In some examples, the network nodes 110 may be interconnected to one another or to one or more other network nodes 110 in the wireless network 100 through various types of fronthaul, midhaul, and/or backhaul interfaces, such as a direct physical connection, an air interface, or a virtual network, using any suitable transport network.

[0031] In some examples, a network node 110 may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the term “cell” can refer to a coverage area of a network node 110 and/or a network node subsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used. A network node 110 may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and/or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with service subscriptions. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with service subscriptions. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs 120 having association with the femto cell (e.g., UEs 120 in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A network node 110 for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro network node. A network node 110 for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico network node. A network node 110 for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto network node or an in-home network node. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the network node 110a may be a macro network node for a macro cell 102a, the network node 110b may be a pico network node for a pico cell 102b, and the network node 110c may be a femto network node for a femto cell 102c. A network node may support one or multiple (e.g., three) cells. In some examples, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cell may move according to the location of a network node 110 that is mobile (e.g., a mobile network node).

[0032] In some aspects, the term “base station” or “network node” may refer to an aggregated base station, a disaggregated base station, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, a relay node, or one or more components thereof. For example, in some aspects, “base station” or “network node” may refer to a CU, a DU, an RU, a Near-Real Time (Near-RT) RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), or a Non-Real Time (Non-RT) RIC, or a combination thereof. In some aspects, the term “base station” or “network node” may refer to one device configured to perform one or more functions, such as those described herein in connection with the network node 110. In some aspects, the term “base station” or “network node” may refer to a plurality of devices configured to perform the one or more functions. For example, in some distributed systems, each of a quantity of different devices (which may be located in the same geographic location or in different geographic locations) may be configured to perform at least a portion of a function, or to duplicate performance of at least a portion of the function, and the term “base station” or “network node” may refer to any one or more of those different devices. In some aspects, the term “base station” or “network node” may refer to one or more virtual base stations or one or more virtual base station functions. For example, in some aspects, two or more base station functions may be instantiated on a single device. In some aspects, the term “base station” or “network node” may refer to one of the base station functions and not another. In this way, a single device may include more than one base station.

[0033] The wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is a network node that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream node (e.g., a network node 110 or a UE 120) and send a transmission of the data to a downstream node (e.g., a UE 120 or a network node 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 that can relay transmissions for other UEs 120. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the network node 1 lOd (e.g., a relay network node) may communicate with the network node 110a (e.g., a macro network node) and the UE 120d in order to facilitate communication between the network node 110a and the UE 120d. A network node 110 that relays communications may be referred to as a relay station, a relay base station, a relay network node, a relay node, a relay, or the like.

[0034] The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes network nodes 110 of different types, such as macro network nodes, pico network nodes, femto network nodes, relay network nodes, or the like. These different types of network nodes 110 may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and/or different impacts on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, macro network nodes may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts) whereas pico network nodes, femto network nodes, and relay network nodes may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0035] A network controller 130 may couple to or communicate with a set of network nodes 110 and may provide coordination and control for these network nodes 110. The network controller 130 may communicate with the network nodes 110 via a backhaul communication link or a midhaul communication link. The network nodes 110 may communicate with one another directly or indirectly via a wireless or wireline backhaul communication link. In some aspects, the network controller 130 may be a CU or a core network device, or may include a CU or a core network device.

[0036] The UEs 120 may be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile. A UE 120 may include, for example, an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, and/or a subscriber unit. A UE 120 may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device, a biometric device, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring or a smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music device, a video device, and/or a satellite radio), a vehicular component or sensor, a smart meter/sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, a UE function of a network node, and/or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium. [0037] Some UEs 120 may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. An MTC UE and/or an eMTC UE may include, for example, a robot, a drone, a remote device, a sensor, a meter, a monitor, and/or a location tag, that may communicate with a network node, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 may be considered Intemet-of-Things (loT) devices, and/or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband loT) devices. Some UEs 120 may be considered a Customer Premises Equipment. A UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of the UE 120, such as processor components and/or memory components. In some examples, the processor components and the memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory components (e.g., a memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and/or electrically coupled.

[0038] In general, any number of wireless networks 100 may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network 100 may support a particular RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, or the like. A frequency may be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, or the like. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

[0039] In some examples, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using a network node 110 as an intermediary to communicate with one another). For example, the UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device -to -device (D2D) communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include a vehicle-to- vehicle (V2V) protocol, a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol, or a vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocol), and/or a mesh network. In such examples, a UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the network node 110.

[0040] Devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided by frequency or wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, or the like. For example, devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using one or more operating bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz - 7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz - 52.6 GHz). It should be understood that although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “Sub-6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. A similar nomenclature issue sometimes occurs with regard to FR2, which is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles, despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz - 300 GHz) which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as a “millimeter wave” band.

[0041] The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR studies have identified an operating band for these mid-band frequencies as frequency range designation FR3 (7.125 GHz - 24.25 GHz). Frequency bands falling within FR3 may inherit FR1 characteristics and/or FR2 characteristics, and thus may effectively extend features of FR1 and/or FR2 into mid-band frequencies. In addition, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation beyond 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6 GHz - 71 GHz), FR4 (52.6 GHz - 114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz - 300 GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.

[0042] With the above examples in mind, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies that may be less than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. Further, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies that may include mid-band frequencies, may be within FR2, FR4, FR4-a or FR4-1, and/or FR5, or may be within the EHF band. It is contemplated that the frequencies included in these operating bands (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1, and/or FR5) may be modified, and techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0043] In some aspects, the UE 120 may include a communication manager 140. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 140 may receive downlink control information (DCI) scheduling transmission of a first one or more physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) communications on a first component carrier and a second one or more PUCCH communications on a second component carrier, wherein the DCI includes information identifying a first transmit power configuration for the first one or more PUCCH communications and a second transmit power configuration for the second one or more PUCCH communications; and transmit the first one or more PUCCH communications in accordance with the first transmit power configuration and the second one or more PUCCH communications in accordance with the second transmit power configuration. Additionally, or alternatively, the communication manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0044] In some aspects, the network node 110 may include a communication manager 150. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 150 may transmit DCI scheduling transmission of a first one or more PUCCH communications on a first component carrier and a second one or more PUCCH communications on a second component carrier, wherein the DCI includes information identifying a first transmit power configuration for the first one or more PUCCH communications and a second transmit power configuration for the second one or more PUCCH communications; and receive the first one or more PUCCH communications in accordance with the first transmit power configuration and the second one or more PUCCH communications in accordance with the second transmit power configuration. Additionally, or alternatively, the communication manager 150 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0045] As indicated above, Fig. 1 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 1.

[0046] Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of a network node 110 in communication with a UE 120 in a wireless network 100, in accordance with the present disclosure. The network node 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234a through 234t, such as T antennas (T> 1). The UE 120 may be equipped with a set of antennas 252a through 252r, such as R antennas (R > 1). The network node 110 of example 200 includes one or more radio frequency components, such as antennas 234 and a modem 254. In some examples, a network node 110 may include an interface, a communication component, or another component that facilitates communication with the UE 120 or another network node. Some network nodes 110 may not include radio frequency components that facilitate direct communication with the UE 120, such as one or more CUs, or one or more DUs.

[0047] At the network node 110, a transmit processor 220 may receive data, from a data source 212, intended for the UE 120 (or a set of UEs 120). The transmit processor 220 may select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) for the UE 120 based at least in part on one or more channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from that UE 120. The network node 110 may process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for the UE 120 based at least in part on the MCS(s) selected for the UE 120 and may provide data symbols for the UE 120. The transmit processor 220 may process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and/or upper layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. The transmit processor 220 may generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) or a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple -input multiple -output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overhead symbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide a set of output symbol streams (e.g., T output symbol streams) to a corresponding set of modems 232 (e.g., T modems), shown as modems 232a through 232t. For example, each output symbol stream may be provided to a modulator component (shown as MOD) of a modem 232. Each modem 232 may use a respective modulator component to process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 may further use a respective modulator component to process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, fdter, and/or upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The modems 232a through 232t may transmit a set of downlink signals (e.g., T downlink signals) via a corresponding set of antennas 234 (e.g., T antennas), shown as antennas 234a through 234t.

[0048] At the UE 120, a set of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252a through 252r) may receive the downlink signals from the network node 110 and/or other network nodes 110 and may provide a set of received signals (e.g., R received signals) to a set of modems 254 (e.g., R modems), shown as modems 254a through 254r. For example, each received signal may be provided to a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of a modem 254. Each modem 254 may use a respective demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and/or digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples. Each modem 254 may use a demodulator component to further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from the modems 254, may perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and may provide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, may provide decoded data for the UE 120 to a data sink 260, and may provide decoded control information and system information to a controller/processor 280. The term “controller/processor” may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. A channel processor may determine a reference signal received power (RSRP) parameter, a received signal strength indicator (RS SI) parameter, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameter, and/or a CQI parameter, among other examples. In some examples, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in a housing 284.

[0049] The network controller 130 may include a communication unit 294, a controller/processor 290, and a memory 292. The network controller 130 may include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. The network controller 130 may communicate with the network node 110 via the communication unit 294.

[0050] One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234a through 234t and/or antennas 252a through 252r) may include, or may be included within, one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more sets of antenna elements, and/or one or more antenna arrays, among other examples. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include one or more antenna elements (within a single housing or multiple housings), a set of coplanar antenna elements, a set of non-coplanar antenna elements, and/or one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmission and/or reception components, such as one or more components of Fig. 2.

[0051] On the uplink, at the UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports that include RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and/or CQI) from the controller/processor 280. The transmit processor 264 may generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 if applicable, further processed by the modems 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to the network node 110. In some examples, the modem 254 of the UE 120 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of the antenna(s) 252, the modem(s) 254, the MIMO detector 256, the receive processor 258, the transmit processor 264, and/or the TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., the controller/processor 280) and the memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to Figs. 5-9). [0052] At the network node 110, the uplink signals from UE 120 and/or other UEs may be received by the antennas 234, processed by the modem 232 (e.g., a demodulator component, shown as DEMOD, of the modem 232), detected by a MIMO detector 236 if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by the UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to a data sink 239 and provide the decoded control information to the controller/processor 240. The network node 110 may include a communication unit 244 and may communicate with the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The network node 110 may include a scheduler 246 to schedule one or more UEs 120 for downlink and/or uplink communications. In some examples, the modem 232 of the network node 110 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the network node 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of the antenna(s) 234, the modern/ s) 232, the MIMO detector 236, the receive processor 238, the transmit processor 220, and/or the TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., the controller/processor 240) and the memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to Figs. 5-9).

[0053] The controller/processor 240 of the network node 110, the controller/processor 280 of the UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of Fig. 2 may perform one or more techniques associated with transmit power control (TPC) configuration for PUCCH repetition across multiple component carriers, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller/processor 240 of the network node 110, the controller/processor 280 of the UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of Fig. 2 may perform or direct operations of, for example, process 600 of Fig. 6, process 700 of Fig. 7, and/or other processes as described herein. The memory 242 and the memory 282 may store data and program codes for the network node 110 and the UE 120, respectively. In some examples, the memory 242 and/or the memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and/or program code) for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed (e.g., directly, or after compiling, converting, and/or interpreting) by one or more processors of the network node 110 and/or the UE 120, may cause the one or more processors, the UE 120, and/or the network node 110 to perform or direct operations of, for example, process 600 of Fig. 6, process 700 of Fig. 7, and/or other processes as described herein. In some examples, executing instructions may include running the instructions, converting the instructions, compiling the instructions, and/or interpreting the instructions, among other examples.

[0054] In some aspects, a user equipment (e.g., the UE 120) includes means for receiving DCI scheduling transmission of a first one or more PUCCH communications on a first component carrier and a second one or more PUCCH communications on a second component carrier, wherein the DCI includes information identifying a first transmit power configuration for the first one or more PUCCH communications and a second transmit power configuration for the second one or more PUCCH communications; and/or means for transmitting the first one or more PUCCH communications in accordance with the first transmit power configuration and the second one or more PUCCH communications in accordance with the second transmit power configuration. The means for the UE to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of communication manager 140, antenna 252, modem 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, controller/processor 280, or memory 282.

[0055] In some aspects, a network node (e.g., the network node 110) includes means for transmitting DCI scheduling transmission of a first one or more PUCCH communications on a first component carrier and a second one or more PUCCH communications on a second component carrier, wherein the DCI includes information identifying a first transmit power configuration for the first one or more PUCCH communications and a second transmit power configuration for the second one or more PUCCH communications; and/or means for receiving the first one or more PUCCH communications in accordance with the first transmit power configuration and the second one or more PUCCH communications in accordance with the second transmit power configuration. The means for the network node to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of communication manager 150, transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, modem 232, antenna 234, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller/processor 240, memory 242, or scheduler 246.

[0056] While blocks in Fig. 2 are illustrated as distinct components, the functions described above with respect to the blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combination component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to the transmit processor 264, the receive processor 258, and/or the TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by or under the control of the controller/processor 280. [0057] As indicated above, Fig. 2 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 2. [0058] Fig. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example 300 of physical channels and reference signals in a wireless network, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 3, downlink channels and downlink reference signals may carry information from a network node 110 to a UE 120, and uplink channels and uplink reference signals may carry information from a UE 120 to a network node 110.

[0059] As shown, a downlink channel may include a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that carries DCI, a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) that carries downlink data, or a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) that carries system information, among other examples. PDSCH communications may be scheduled by PDCCH communications. As further shown, an uplink channel may include a PUCCH that carries uplink control information (UCI), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) that carries uplink data, or a physical random access channel (PRACH) used for initial network access, among other examples. For example, the UE 120 may transmit repetitions of UCI via a PUCCH across a plurality of component carriers (e.g., a first instance of the UCI in a first component carrier and a second instance (a repetition) of the UCI in a second component carrier). The UCI may convey feedback information. For example, the UE 120 may transmit acknowledgement (ACK) or negative acknowledgement (NACK) feedback (e.g., ACK/NACK feedback or ACK/NACK information) in UCI on the PUCCH and/or the PUSCH.

[0060] Different PUCCH formats may be possible. For example, PUCCH formats with different durations, payload size ranges, and multiplexing capabilities are defined for 5G communications (e.g., PUCCH formats 0 to 4), as described in more detail with regard to 3GPP Technical Specification (TS) 38.213, Release 16, Version 16.6.0, Section 9.2.2. The UE 120 may receive radio resource control (RRC) signaling configuring resources (e.g., up to 128 resources) for PUCCH communication and a PUCCH format to use in each resource. In scenarios where HARQ-ACK feedback is multiplexed in a PUCCH resource, the UE 120 may receive DCI (e.g., a DCI format that schedules a PDSCH and a corresponding PUCCH for HARQ-ACK feedback) that indicates a PUCCH resource indicator (PRI). In these scenarios, the UE 120 may select a PUCCH resource set based at least in part on a UCI payload and may select a PUCCH resource within the PUCCH resource set based at least in part on the PRI. In this way, the UE 120 may dynamically select PUCCH resources for HARQ-ACK transmission. [0061] PUCCH communications may be repeated across a plurality of slots for some PUCCH formats, such as PUCCH formats 1, 3, and 4. The UE 120 may receive an RRC indication of a quantity of repetitions to transmit for each PUCCH format. As a result, all PUCCH resources with a particular format may have the same quantity of repetitions.

Moreover, the UE 120 may use the same PUCCH resource across all repetitions in different slots. In other words, the UE 120 may use the same symbols (e.g., the same starting symbol and length) in each slot in which the UE 120 transmits PUCCH repetitions. As a result, each PUCCH repetition may have the same quantity of coded bits and the same resource identifier (ID). The quantity of repetitions can be configured on a per PUCCH resource basis (rather than a per PUCCH format basis). In this case, the PRI in DCI may dynamically indicate a PUCCH resource with a particular quantity of repetitions, thereby enabling dynamic configuration of a quantity of PUCCH repetitions. “PUCCH repetitions” or repetitions of a “PUCCH communication” may refer to repetitions of the same UCI across a plurality of PUCCH resources.

[0062] The UE 120 may be configured with a single power adjustment state (e.g., a closed loop index / = 0) or two separate power adjustment states (e.g., a closed loop index of / = 0, 7) for power adjustment for PUCCH transmission. When the UE 120 has two separate adjustment states, each PUCCH resource is configured and/or activated with a TPC adjustment for / = 0 or / = 1. The UE 120 may maintain power adjustment states based at least in part on TPC commands received from the network node 110 in DCI. In other words, TPC commands are accumulated per power adjustment state. Accordingly, DCI formats that network node 110 uses to schedule downlink (e.g., a PDSCH) and uplink (e.g., a PUCCH for a HARQ-ACK response to the PDSCH), such as DCI format 1 0, 1 1, or 1 2, include a TPC field for closed loop power adjustment for a scheduled PUCCH. Similarly, network node 110 may use DCI format 2 2 (e.g., a group-common DCI) with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with a TPC- PUCCH-radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) to indicate a closed loop index and a TPC command for a group of UEs 120.

[0063] As further shown, a downlink reference signal may include a synchronization signal block (SSB), a channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS), a DMRS, a positioning reference signal (PRS), or a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS), among other examples. As also shown, an uplink reference signal may include a sounding reference signal (SRS), a DMRS, or a PTRS, among other examples.

[0064] An SSB may carry information used for initial network acquisition and synchronization, such as a PSS, an SSS, a PBCH, and a PBCH DMRS. An SSB is sometimes referred to as a synchronization signal/PBCH (SS/PBCH) block. The network node 110 may transmit multiple SSBs on multiple corresponding beams, and the SSBs may be used for beam selection.

[0065] A CSI-RS may carry information used for downlink channel estimation (e.g., downlink CSI acquisition), which may be used for scheduling, link adaptation, or beam management, among other examples. The network node 110 may configure a set of CSI-RSs for the UE 120, and the UE 120 may measure the configured set of CSI-RSs. Based at least in part on the measurements, the UE 120 may perform channel estimation and may report channel estimation parameters to the network node 110 (e.g., in a CSI report), such as a CQI, a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a CSI-RS resource indicator (CRI), a layer indicator (LI), a rank indicator (RI), or a reference signal received power (RSRP), among other examples. The network node 110 may use the CSI report to select transmission parameters for downlink communications to the UE 120, such as a number of transmission layers (e.g., a rank), a precoding matrix (e.g., a precoder), a MCS, or a refined downlink beam (e.g., using a beam refinement procedure or a beam management procedure), among other examples.

[0066] A DMRS may carry information used to estimate a radio channel for demodulation of an associated physical channel (e.g., PDCCH, PDSCH, PBCH, PUCCH, or PUSCH). The design and mapping of a DMRS may be specific to a physical channel for which the DMRS is used for estimation. DMRSs are UE-specific, can be beamformed, can be confined in a scheduled resource (e.g., rather than transmitted on a wideband), and can be transmitted only when necessary. As shown, DMRSs are used for both downlink communications and uplink communications.

[0067] A PTRS may carry information used to compensate for oscillator phase noise. Typically, the phase noise increases as the oscillator carrier frequency increases. Thus, PTRS can be utilized at high carrier frequencies, such as millimeter wave frequencies, to mitigate phase noise. The PTRS may be used to track the phase of the local oscillator and to enable suppression of phase noise and common phase error (CPE). As shown, PTRSs are used for both downlink communications (e.g., on the PDSCH) and uplink communications (e.g., on the PUSCH).

[0068] A PRS may carry information used to enable timing or ranging measurements of the UE 120 based on signals transmitted by the network node 110 to improve observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA) positioning performance. For example, a PRS may be a pseudorandom Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) sequence mapped in diagonal patterns with shifts in frequency and time to avoid collision with cell-specific reference signals and control channels (e.g., a PDCCH). In general, a PRS may be designed to improve detectability by the UE 120, which may need to detect downlink signals from multiple neighboring network nodes in order to perform OTDOA-based positioning. Accordingly, the UE 120 may receive a PRS from multiple cells (e.g., a reference cell and one or more neighbor cells), and may report a reference signal time difference (RSTD) based on OTDOA measurements associated with the PRSs received from the multiple cells. The network node 110 may then calculate a position of the UE 120 based on the RSTD measurements reported by the UE 120.

[0069] An SRS may carry information used for uplink channel estimation, which may be used for scheduling, link adaptation, precoder selection, or beam management, among other examples. The network node 110 may configure one or more SRS resource sets for the UE 120, and the UE 120 may transmit SRSs on the configured SRS resource sets. An SRS resource set may have a configured usage, such as uplink CSI acquisition, downlink CSI acquisition for reciprocity -based operations, uplink beam management, among other examples. The network node 110 may measure the SRSs, may perform channel estimation based at least in part on the measurements, and may use the SRS measurements to configure communications with the UE 120.

[0070] As indicated above, Fig. 3 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 3.

[0071] Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example 400 of PUCCH repetition across multiple component carriers, in accordance with the present disclosure.

[0072] In some communications systems, in uplink carrier aggregation, a UE may transmit a PUCCH in a primary component carrier (PCC) of a PUCCH group and not in any secondary component carriers (SCCs) (e.g., a first SCC, SCC-1, or a second SCC, SCC-2) of the PUCCH group. In other communications systems, the UE may switch between component carriers within a PUCCH group, such as switching between a PCC, a first SCC-1, and a second SCC-2. As shown, a switching period (S) (e.g., a guard period) may be allocated for switching between different directions of communication (e.g., between downlink communication and uplink communication). The UE may switch based at least in part on an indication received from a network node. The network node may indicate on which component carrier the UE is to transmit a repetition of a PUCCH in a slot. For example, the network node may transmit a DCI or an RRC message to indicate the component carrier on which the UE is to transmit a PUCCH or a PUCCH repetition in a slot. When using DCI (e.g., dynamic indication), the network node may set a field to provide the indication. When using RRC (e.g., semi-static indication), the network node may identify a time pattern that provides a periodicity for component carrier switching.

[0073] As shown in Fig. 4, the UE may receive a PDSCH on a PCC, and may transmit repetitions of a PUCCH (e.g., repetitions of UCI conveying a HARQ-ACK for the PDSCH) on the PCC and on SCC-2 in accordance with a component carrier switching configuration set by the network node (e.g., a time pattern for transmitting on the PCC, SCC-1, and SCC-2). However, each component carrier may have a separate closed loop power adjustment state. For example, the PCC may have a first closed loop power adjustment state and the SCC-2 may have a second closed loop power adjustment state. When the network node uses certain DCI formats, such as DCI format 1 0, 1 1, or 1 2, to schedule the PUCCH resources, the DCI formats may only include a single TPC field. Without UE behavior defined for scenarios with multiple closed loop power adjustment states, the UE may adjust transmit powers in a manner different than what is expected by the network node, which can result in synchronization issues, dropped communications, or interference, among other examples.

[0074] As indicated above, Fig. 4 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to Fig. 4. [0075] Some aspects described herein enable power control on multiple component carriers when transmitting PUCCH repetitions across the multiple component carriers. For example, a UE may apply a single TPC command to multiple closed loop power adjustment states associated with multiple component carriers. In another example, the UE may apply the single TPC command to one closed loop power adjustment state associated with one component carrier (and may not adjust a closed loop power adjustment state of another component carrier). In another example, the network node may configure multiple TPC fields in the DCI and the UE may apply respective TCI commands in the multiple TCI fields to respective closed loop power adjustment states associated with respective component carriers. In another example, the UE may map the single TPC field to multiple TPC commands in accordance with a configured mapping. In some aspects, the UE may switch between options for applying received TPC commands based at least in part on received semi-static or dynamic signaling. In this way, the UE transmits PUCCH repetitions across component carriers with different closed loop power adjustment states with transmit powers configured in accordance with one or more TPC commands from a network node.

[0076] Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example 500 associated with TPC configuration for PUCCH repetition across multiple component carriers, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 5, example 500 includes communication between a network node 110 and a UE 120. In some aspects, the network node 110 and the UE 120 may be included in a wireless network, such as wireless network 100. The network node 110 and the UE 120 may communicate via a wireless access link, which may include an uplink and a downlink.

[0077] As further shown in Fig. 5, and by reference number 505, the UE 120 may receive DCI with information identifying one or more TPC configurations. For example, the UE 120 may receive DCI scheduling a first one or more PUCCH communications on a first component carrier and a second one or more PUCCH communications on a second component carrier. In this case, the first one or more PUCCH communications may include a first one or more repetitions of UCI including a HARQ-ACK for a PDSCH and the second one or more PUCCH communications may include a second one or more repetitions of the UCI including the HARQ- ACK for the PDSCH. In other words, the first one or more PUCCH communications and the second one or more PUCCH communications may comprise a set of PUCCH repetitions of UCI conveying a HARQ-ACK. In some aspects, the DCI may be associated with a particular format. For example, the UE 120 may receive DCI associated with DCI format 1 0, 1 1, or 1 2, among other examples.

[0078] In some aspects, the UE 120 may receive DCI with a particular quantity of TPC commands. For example, the UE 120 may receive DCI with a single TPC command. Alternatively, the UE 120 may receive DCI with a plurality of TPC commands applicable to a corresponding plurality of component carriers. Alternatively, the UE 120 may receive a TPC command that is a TPC field codepoint that maps to a set of TPC commands. In this case, a bitwidth of the TPC field may be increased from 2 bits (e.g., for a single TPC command) to 3 bits (e.g., for a TPC field codepoint) to enable the TPC field to map to a greater quantity of sets of TPC commands (e.g., a 3 bit TPC field codepoint can map to up to 8 different possible sets of TPC commands). In some aspects, the UE 120 may receive an indicator of an option for applying a TPC command of the DCI. For example, the UE 120 may receive an indicator (e.g., in the DCI or as a semi-static RRC configuration) indicating whether a second TPC field is present in the DCI, whether the TPC field codepoint can indicate multiple TPC commands, or whether a single TPC command is to be applied to a single or multiple transmit power configurations, among other examples.

[0079] As further shown in Fig. 5, and by reference number 510, the UE 120 may determine transmission powers for PUCCH repetitions. For example, the UE 120 may apply the TPC command to one or more transmit power configurations (e.g., one or more closed loop adjustment states) corresponding to one or more component carriers. In some aspects, the UE 120 may apply a single TPC command to a plurality of transmit power configurations. For example, the UE 120 may apply a single TPC command of the DCI to both a first transmit power configuration (e.g., a first closed loop power adjustment state) associated with a first component carrier and a second transmit power configuration (e.g., a second closed loop power adjustment state) associated with a second component carrier.

[0080] In some aspects, the UE 120 may apply a single TPC command to a single transmit power configuration. For example, the UE 120 may apply the single TPC command of the DCI to a first transmit power configuration and may not apply any TPC command to a second transmit power configuration. In this case, as closed loop power adjustment states are accumulative, a first closed loop power adjustment state may be changed by the TPC command and a second closed loop power adjustment state may be unchanged by the TPC command (e.g., the UE 120 may change transmit powers for a first component carrier, but use a previous transmit power for a second component carrier). In some aspects, the UE 120 may select which transmit power configuration to which to apply the single TPC command. For example, the UE 120 may select a component carrier with a smaller index and apply the single TPC command to a corresponding transmit power configuration. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 120 may use another type of default configuration (e.g., alternating which component carrier to which to apply the single TPC command or applying the single TPC command to a larger indexed component carrier, among other examples).

[0081] In some aspects, the UE 120 may interpret an indicator to select which transmit power configuration to which to apply the single TPC command. For example, the UE 120 may identify a bit indicator in the DCI that indicates to which component carrier the single TPC command applies. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 120 may implicitly derive which component carrier the single TPC command applies based at least in part on a slot or component carrier in which the DCI is received. In this way, the UE 120 remains synchronized with the network node 110 by deterministically applying the single TPC command to one of a plurality of transmit power configurations. In some aspects, the UE 120 may apply the single TPC command to multiple component carriers at different times based at least in part on different scheduling instances.

[0082] In some aspects, the UE 120 may apply different TPC commands to different component carriers. For example, when the network node 110 adds a second TPC field to the DCI (e.g., by adding a new dedicated field or repurposing a configurable field in accordance with a defined agreement with the UE 120), the UE 120 may apply a first TPC command of a first TPC field to a first transmit power configuration associated with a first component carrier and a second TPC command of a second TPC field to a second transmit power configuration associated with a second component carrier.

[0083] In some aspects, the UE 120 may identify a plurality of TPC commands by mapping a TPC field codepoint to the plurality of TPC commands. For example, the UE 120 may identify a value for a TPC field codepoint in the DCI and may map the value to a table that includes pairs of TPC commands. In other words, a first codepoint value maps to an index in a table with a first pair of TPC commands (e.g., the same or different TPC commands), a second codepoint value maps to an index in the table with a second pair of TPC commands (e.g., the same or different TPC commands), and so on. Although some aspects are described in terms of a pair of TPC commands, the table may include another quantity of TPC commands (e.g., for another quantity of component carriers) for each codepoint value. In this case, a size of the TPC field codepoint (e.g., a quantity of bits) may correspond to a quantity of possible pairs of TPC commands. Accordingly, in some aspects, the TPC field may be increased from 2 bits to 3 bits to increase a quantity of possible pairs of TPC commands that can be indicated using a field codepoint.

[0084] In some aspects, the UE 120 may determine an option for applying the TPC command of the DCI based at least in part on a received configuration. For example, as described above, the UE 120 may receive an RRC configuration or an indicator in the DCI that indicates whether, for example, to apply a single TPC command to multiple transmit power configurations or a single transmit power configuration. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 120 may receive an indicator of whether the DCI includes multiple TPC fields or an extended TPC field (e.g., for a field codepoint, as described above). Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 120 may determine the option for applying the TPC command based at least in part on a default configuration, a type of the DCI (e.g., a format of the DCI), or another type of indicator or interpretation technique. For example, when DCI format 1 0 (e.g., a fallback DCI) is used, the TPC command in the TPC field is applied to multiple transmit power configurations or a single transmit power configuration (e.g., for DCI format 1 0, adding a second TPC field or a different interpretation of TPC field, such as using TPC field codepoints, as described above, may not be configured).

[0085] As further shown in Fig. 5, and by reference number 515, the UE 120 may transmit repetitions of a PUCCH across a plurality of component carriers. For example, the UE 120 may transmit repetitions of UCI (e.g., HARQ-ACK feedback for a PDSCH) in resources of a PUCCH occurring on the plurality of component carriers. In this case, the UE 120 may transmit a first instance of the UCI on a first component carrier using a first transmit power based at least in part on a first transmit power configuration and a second instance of the UCI on a second component carrier using a second transmit power based at least in part on a second transmit power configuration.

[0086] As indicated above, Fig. 5 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to Fig. 5.

[0135] Fig. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example 1000 of an O-RAN architecture, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 10, the O-RAN architecture may include a CU 1010 that communicates with a core network 1020 via a backhaul link.

Furthermore, the CU 1010 may communicate with one or more DUs 1030 via respective midhaul links. The DUs 1030 may each communicate with one or more RUs 1040 via respective fronthaul links, and the RUs 1040 may each communicate with respective UEs 120 via radio frequency (RF) access links. The DUs 1030 and the RUs 1040 may also be referred to as O-RAN DUs (O-DUs) 1030 and O-RAN RUs (O-RUs) 1040, respectively.

[0136] In some aspects, the DUs 1030 and the RUs 1040 may be implemented according to a functional split architecture in which functionality of a network node 110 (e.g., an eNB or a gNB) is provided by a DU 1030 and one or more RUs 1040 that communicate over a fronthaul link. Accordingly, as described herein, a network node 110 may include a DU 1030 and one or more RUs 1040 that may be co-located or geographically distributed. In some aspects, the DU 1030 and the associated RU(s) 1040 may communicate via a fronthaul link to exchange realtime control plane information via a lower layer split (LLS) control plane (LLS-C) interface, to exchange non-real-time management information via an LLS management plane (LLS-M) interface, and/or to exchange user plane information via an LLS user plane (LLS-U) interface. [0137] Accordingly, the DU 1030 may correspond to a logical unit that includes one or more base station functions to control the operation of one or more RUs 1040. For example, in some aspects, the DU 1030 may host a radio link control (RLC) layer, a medium access control (MAC) layer, and one or more high physical (PHY) layers (e.g., forward error correction (FEC) encoding and decoding, scrambling, and/or modulation and demodulation) based at least in part on a lower layer functional split. Higher layer control functions, such as a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP), RRC, and/or service data adaptation protocol (SDAP), may be hosted by the CU 1010.

Accordingly, in an O-RAN architecture, the RU(s) 1040 handle all over the air (OTA) communication with a UE 120, and real-time and non-real-time aspects of control and user plane communication with the RU(s) 1040 are controlled by the corresponding DU 1030, which enables the DU(s) 1030 and the CU 1010 to be implemented in a cloud-based RAN architecture.
