Abstract

An apparatus may be configured to: receive, from a first network node, a first indication to activate a first set of transmission configuration indicator states associated with the first network node; receive, from the first network node, a second indication of a second network node, wherein the apparatus is configured to perform simultaneous transmission, with the first network node and the second network node; and transmit, to the first network node, a first report, wherein the first report comprises at least one indication of a presence of a power backoff value associated with a pair of transmission configuration indicator states.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
receive, from a first network node, a first indication to activate a first set of transmission configuration indicator states associated with the first network node;
receive, from the first network node, a second indication of a second network node, wherein the apparatus is configured to perform simultaneous transmission, with the first network node and the second network node; and
transmit, to the first network node, a first report, wherein the first report comprises at least one indication of a presence of a power backoff value associated with a pair of transmission configuration indicator states,
wherein the at least one indication of the presence of the power backoff value comprises an indication of a range of power backoff values.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first report comprises a plurality of indications of presence of power backoff values, wherein respective ones of the plurality of indications are respectively associated with a pair of transmission configuration indicator states.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
determine an overlap between transmission with a transmission configuration indicator state from the first set of transmission configuration indicator states, and transmission with a transmission configuration indicator state from a second set of transmission configuration indicator states associated with the second network node; and
determine the power backoff value based, at least partially, on:
the determined overlap,
a configured transmission power per transmission configuration indicator state,
a maximum equivalent isotropic radiation power,
a power headroom,
a maximum output power limit, or
a maximum total radiated power.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
transmit, to the second network node, a second report,
wherein the second report is at least partially different from the first report.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the power backoff value associated with the pair of transmission configuration indicator states comprises a power backoff value applied to the pair of transmission configuration indicator states.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the first report comprises at least one of:
a multiple transmission and reception point power headroom report, or
a layer one reference signal received power report.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the presence of the power backoff value comprises a power management maximum power reduction value.

8. A method comprising:
receiving, with a user equipment, from a first network node, a first indication to activate a first set of transmission configuration indicator states associated with the first network node;
receiving, from the first network node, a second indication of a second network node, wherein the user equipment is configured to perform simultaneous transmission, with the first network node and the second network node; and
transmitting, to the first network node, a first report, wherein the first report comprises at least one indication of a presence of a power backoff value associated with a pair of transmission configuration indicator states, wherein the at least one indication of the presence of the power backoff value comprises an indication of a range of power backoff values.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first report comprises a plurality of indications of presence of power backoff values, wherein respective ones of the plurality of indications are respectively associated with a pair of transmission configuration indicator states.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the power backoff value associated with the pair of transmission configuration indicator states comprises a power backoff value applied to the pair of transmission configuration indicator states.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first report comprises at least one of:
a multiple transmission and reception point power headroom report, or
a layer one reference signal received power report.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the presence of the power backoff value comprises a power management maximum power reduction value.

13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
determining an overlap between transmission with a transmission configuration indicator state from the first set of transmission configuration indicator states, and transmission with a transmission configuration indicator state from a second set of transmission configuration indicator states associated with the second network node; and
determining the power backoff value based, at least partially, on:
the determined overlap,
a configured transmission power per transmission configuration indicator state,
a maximum equivalent isotropic radiation power,
a power headroom,
a maximum output power limit, or
a maximum total radiated power.

14. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
transmit, to a user equipment, a first indication to activate a first transmission set of configuration indicator states associated with the apparatus;
transmit, to the user equipment, a second indication of a network node, wherein the user equipment is configured to perform simultaneous transmission with the apparatus and the network node; and
receive, from the user equipment, a first report, wherein the first report comprises at least one indication of a presence of a power backoff value associated with a pair of transmission configuration indicator states, wherein the at least one indication of the presence of the power backoff value comprises an indication of a range of power backoff values.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the first report comprises a plurality of indications of presence of power backoff values, wherein respective ones of the plurality of indications are respectively associated with a pair of transmission configuration indicator states.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the power backoff value associated with the pair of transmission configuration indicator states comprises a power backoff value applied to the pair of transmission configuration indicator states.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the first report comprises at least one of:
a multiple transmission and reception point power headroom report, or
a layer one reference signal received power report.

18. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the at least one memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
transmit, to the network node, the first report via a backhaul link.

19. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the presence of the power backoff value comprises a power management maximum power reduction value.

20. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the power backoff value comprises a power backoff value determined based, at least partially, on:
an overlap between transmission with a transmission configuration indicator state from the first set of transmission configuration indicator states, and transmission wit
