LTE NR Power Control for EN-DC

The patent application describes apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing maximum transmit power control when utilizing multiple radio access technologies. This technology is designed to ensure compliance with maximum transmit power limitations while allowing for efficient transmission on multiple radios simultaneously.

The wireless communication device determines an allowed transmit power level for one radio based on the difference between the maximum transmit power limitation and the current transmit power level of another radio.
A threshold power level is also determined for communication by the first radio, and if the allowed transmit power level meets this threshold, the device can transmit the communication within a specific power range. Otherwise, transmission of the communication is skipped.

Original Abstract Submitted

apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing maximum transmit power control when utilizing multiple radio access technologies. for example, a wireless communication device comprising two cellular radios may intend to transmit on the first radio, while concurrently transmitting on the second radio. to ensure compliance with a maximum transmit power limitation, the device may determine an allowed transmit power level of the first radio, representing a difference between the maximum transmit power limitation and the current transmit power level being transmitted by the second radio. the device may also determine a threshold power level for a communication by the first radio. if the allowed transmit power level meets the threshold power level, then the device may transmit the first communication having a power level between the threshold power level and the allowed transmit power level. otherwise, the device may forego transmission of the first communication.
