[001] [001] Certain modalities of the present description refer, in general, to wireless communications and, more particularly, to the management of transmission powers for wireless communications. FUNDAMENTALS
[002] [002] In general, all terms used herein should be interpreted according to their ordinary meanings in the relevant technical field, unless a different meaning is clearly given and / or is implied from the context in which it is used. All references to an element, device, component, medium, stage, etc. they must be openly interpreted as referring to at least one instance of the element, apparatus, component, medium, stage, etc., unless explicitly stated otherwise. The steps of any of the methods described here do not need to be performed in the exact order described, unless a step is explicitly described as following or preceding another step and / or when it is implied that a step must follow or precede another step . Any resource of any of the modalities described here can be applied in any other modality, whenever appropriate. Likewise, any advantage of any of the modalities can apply to any other modalities, and vice versa. Other objectives, resources and advantages of the modalities included will be apparent from the following description.
[003] [003] When a wireless device (such as user equipment (UE)) transmits physical channels (such as Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), or Random Access Channel Physical) or physical signals (such as Sounding Reference Signals (SRS)), the maximum power level at which the UE makes these transmissions is, in general, delimited by a configured maximum transmission power (Pcmax) value.
[004] [004] For UE transmissions corresponding to multiple component carriers or service cells (for example, c1, c2, c3) in a carrier aggregation scenario, the UE transmissions corresponding to each service cell are delimited by a respective value maximum transmission power configured per service cell Pemax, c (where c = cl, c2, c3), and the cumulative power of transmissions across all service cells is bounded by a maximum configured total output power P cmax . Pemax, .c used by the UE must be in a particular range with the upper boundary typically determined by the declared Power class (Ppowerclass) by the UE and any configured power limits (P emax, c) of the upper layer (for example, Radio Resource Control (RROC)), and the lower boundary based on P powerclass, p-emax, and the maximum values of any power reductions that the UE can apply.
[005] [005] For example, UE transmissions corresponding to service cell c are delimited by PCEMAX, c which needs to be in the following range shown below: Pevmax 1.c Is Pemax, and € Pemax H, c WITH Pemax 1c = MIN (Pemax, c; ProwerClass - MAX (X-MPR, c))) Pemax Hc = MIN (PeEMAX, o. PPowerClass) where Pcemax is nude. is the upper boundary in Pemax, c € Pcemax 1. It is the lower boundary in Pemax, c * Prmax. It is an upper layer configured power limit (for example, RRC) * ProwerClass It is the UE power class and it is a maximum power value of the UE that is present in the specification; and X-MPR.c is the sum of maximum values of the power reductions that the UE is allowed to take and the exposed values are in dB scale.
[006] [006] For the case where the UE has transmissions corresponding to multiple component carriers or service cells, the maximum configured total output power PCMAX1 must be in the following limits: Pemax 1 € Pemax É PecMAX H Pemax 1 = MIN (10l0g10) . MIN [emAX.c> PPowerClass / (X-Mpr, C)], PprowerClass) PomAX H = MIN (10 log> PEMAX, .c »ProwerClass) where * PeEMAX. Is the linear value of PEMAX, c; ProwerClass It is the UE Power Class and it is a maximum UE power value that is present in the specification; ProwerClass IS the linear value of PpowerClass; and x-mpr, c is the linear X-MPR value .c described above for each service cell c; and the sum (D (O)) shown above is applied across the entire service cell (for example, c1, c2, c3) in which the UE has transmissions.
[007] [007] Currently, there are certain challenges. In some cases, the UE may be required to carry out transmissions corresponding to different radio access technologies (RATs). For example, the UE can be scheduled in such a way that it needs to transmit simultaneously or overlap with a transmission corresponding to a first cl service cell associated with a Long Term Evolution RAT (LTE) and a second c2 service cell associated with the RAT Novo Rádio (NR). A suitable mechanism to determine the maximum configured transmission power value (s) that takes into account the complexity of the UE implementation for such scenarios is necessary (for example, the operation of the UE in LTE RAT may not be aware of the transmission parameters / definition on the NR side, which may result in undesirable effects).
[008] [008] Certain aspects of this description and its modalities can provide solutions to these or other challenges. SUMMARY

[0034] [0034] Certain modalities of the present description may provide one or more technical advantages. For example, certain modalities allow the determination of the maximum transmission power values configured for the LTE-NR dual connectivity (DC) operation. For example, certain modalities allow the determination of a first configured maximum transmit power value applicable to LTE transmissions and a second configured maximum transmit power value applicable for both LTE and NR transmissions. The transmissions can be configured using the first and second configured maximum transmission power values. As another example, certain modalities allow for a simpler UE implementation, in which the UE hardware / software on the LTE side can operate independently without considering the transmissions or hardware / software definitions on the NR side. As yet another example, certain modalities allow the UE hardware / software on the NR side to consider transmissions or hardware / software definitions on the LTE side, which can help to reduce interference in certain scenarios.
[0035] [0035] Certain modalities may have none, some or all of the aforementioned advantages. Other advantages may be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] [0037] Some of the modalities contemplated here will now be described more fully in relation to the attached drawings. Other modalities, however, are contained within the scope of the matter in question described here. The subject in question should not be interpreted as limited to the modalities presented here. Instead, these modalities are provided by way of example to guide the scope of the subject in question to those skilled in the art.
[0038] [0038] The precepts set out here provide mechanisms to determine the maximum transmission power values configured for an LTE-NR dual connectivity (DC) operation. In certain embodiments, the UE determines a first configured maximum transmit power value (P cmax1) applicable to LTE transmissions and a second configured maximum transmit power value applicable to both LTE and NR transmissions. According to certain modalities, an UE configured with LTE-NR DC determines a first value of maximum configured transmission power (P cmax1) applicable to LTE transmissions by considering only LTE transmissions and a second value of configured maximum transmission power (P cmax2) by considering both LTE and NR transmissions. The UE transmits the physical channels or signals (for example, PUSCH / PUCCH / SRS) corresponding to LTE RAT in such a way that their transmission powers are less than P cmaxl. The UE transmits the physical channels or signals (for example, PUSCH / PUCCH / SRS) corresponding to NR RAT in such a way that their transmission powers are less than P cmax2.
[0039] [0039] In certain embodiments, the wireless device (for example, a UE) transmits physical channel (s) / signal (s) corresponding to a first RAT. The wireless device also transmits physical channel (s) / signal (s) corresponding to a second RAT. The transmission power of the physical channel (s) / signal (s) transmitted by the wireless device to the first RAT is bounded by a first value of maximum configured transmission power (P cmax1). The transmission power of the physical channel (s) / signal (s) transmitted by the wireless device to at least the second RAT is bounded by a second value of maximum configured transmission power (P cmax2 ).
[0040] [0040] In certain modalities, the wireless device can determine P cmaxl1 using at least the following: and a power class value that the wireless device indicates to the network as part of the signaling of the capacity of the wireless device (P powerclass ); and a maximum power value allowed for the first RAT (P RATI); and at least one of: o a first maximum power reduction value (MPR1) o a first recoil value (BO1)
[0041] [0041] In certain modalities, the wireless device can determine P cmax2 using at least the following: e P powerclass; and a maximum allowed power value for the second RAT (P RAT2); and at least one of: o a second maximum power reduction value (MPR2); o a second indentation value (BO2); the P cmaxl; the MPRI; BOL.
[0042] [0042] In some modalities, the MPR1 and / or the BOI can be determined by the wireless device as if there was no transmission in the second RAT, regardless of whether the wireless device is scheduled to transmit in the second RAT. For example, if the wireless device is scheduled to transmit on the first RAT for a first duration (for example, on a subframe / hiatus x), the wireless device can determine the MPRI1 and / or the BOI as if there were no second RAT transmission even if the wireless device is scheduled to transmit on the second RAT for a duration that overlaps the first duration.
[0043] [0043] In certain modalities, P cmax2, MPR2 and / or BO2 can be determined by the wireless device by considering the transmissions scheduled for both the first RAT and the second RAT.
[0044] [0044] In some modalities, MPR2 and / or BO2 can be determined by the wireless device considering that there is no transmission on the first independent RAT if the wireless device is scheduled to transmit on the first RAT. The wireless device can still use one of MPRI1, BOI, P cmax1 to determine P cmax2.
[0045] [0045] In some embodiments, the wireless device may use the transmit power of transmission (s) in progress at the first RAT to determine P cmax2.
[0046] [0046] In some modalities, the wireless device can determine P cmax2, in such a way that it is less than min (P RAT2, P cmax1), where min () provides the minimum value of the respective values.
[0047] [0047] In certain modalities, the first RAT can be LTE and the second RAT can be NR.
[0048] [0048] In certain embodiments, the determination of P cmax1 can comprise determining a lower boundary and / or an upper boundary for P cmaxl and using a value for P cmax1l that is in these boundaries.
[0049] [0049] In certain embodiments, the determination of P cmax2 can comprise determining a lower boundary and / or an upper boundary for P cmax2 and using a value for P cmax2 that is in these boundaries.
[0050] [0050] In some modalities, the transmission power of the channel (s) / physical signal (s) transmitted by the wireless device for both the first RAT and the second RAT can be limited by second value of maximum configured transmission power (P cmax2).
[0051] [0051] In certain modalities, the physical channel (s) / signal (s) transmitted by the wireless device may be one or more of a Shared Channel on Physical Uplink (PUSCH) ), a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), a Polling Reference Signal (SRS), and a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH).
[0052] [0052] In certain modalities, MPR1 can be based on the number and / or position of resource blocks allocated for transmissions corresponding to LTE RAT.
[0053] [0053] In certain modalities, MPR2 can be based on the number and / or position of resource blocks allocated for transmissions corresponding to NR RAT and LTE RAT. In certain modalities, MPR2 can be based on the number and / or position of the resource blocks allocated for transmissions corresponding only to NR RAT.
[0054] [0054] In this way, a wireless device can flexibly determine the maximum transmission power values configured to transmit through multiple radio access technologies (such as in dual connectivity with NR RAT and LTE RAT).
[0055] [0055] Although the subject matter described here can be implemented in any appropriate type of system using any suitable components, the modalities described here are described in relation to a wireless network, such as the wireless network example illustrated in figure 1 For simplicity, the wireless network in Figure 1 represents only network 106, network nodes 160 and 160b, and WDs 110, 110b, and 110c. In practice, a wireless network may additionally include any additional elements suitable for supporting communication between wireless devices or between a wireless device and another communication device, such as a landline phone, a service provider, or any other network node or terminal device. Of the components illustrated, the network node 160 and the wireless device (WD) 110 are represented with additional details. The wireless network may provide communication and other types of services for one or more wireless devices to facilitate access and / or use by wireless devices of services provided by, or through, the wireless network.
[0056] [0056] The wireless network may comprise and / or interface with any type of communication, telecommunication, data, cellular and / or radio network or other type of similar system. In some embodiments, the wireless network can be configured to operate according to specific standards or other types of pre-defined rules or procedures. Thus, the particular modalities of the wireless network may implement communication standards, such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), Long Term Evolution (LTE), and / or other 2G standards Suitable, 3G, 4G, or 5G; wireless local area network (WLAN) standards, such as IEEE 802.11 standards; and / or any other appropriate wireless communication standard, such as the Worldwide Interoperability Standards for Microwave Access (WiMax), Bluetooth, Z Wave and / or ZigBee.
[0057] [0057] Network 106 may comprise one or more data transfer networks, central networks, IP networks, public switched telephone networks (PSTNs), packet data networks, optical networks, wide area networks (WANs) , local area networks (LANs), wireless local area networks (WLANs), wired networks, wireless networks, metropolitan area networks, and other networks to enable communication between devices.
[0058] [0058] Network node 160 and WD 110 comprise the various components described in more detail below. These components work together to provide the functionality of the network node and / or the wireless device, such as the provision of wireless connections on a wireless network. In different modalities, the wireless network can comprise any number of wired or wireless networks, network nodes, base stations, controllers, wireless devices, relay stations, and / or any other components or systems that can facilitate or participate communication of data and / or signals, either through wired or semffio connections.
[0059] [0059] As used herein, the network node refers to equipment capable, configured, arranged and / or operable to communicate directly or indirectly with a wireless device and / or with other network nodes or equipment on the wireless network to enable and / or provide wireless access to the wireless device and / or to perform other functions (for example, administration) on the wireless network. Examples of network nodes include, but are not limited to, access points (APs) (for example, radio access points), base stations (BSs) (for example, radio base stations, Nodes B, evolved Nodes B ( eNBs) and NR NodeBs (gNBs)). Base stations can be categorized based on the amount of coverage they provide (or, differently stated, their transmission power level) and can then also be referred to as femto base stations, peak base stations, micro base stations, or macro base stations. A base station can be a relay node or a relay donor node that controls a relay. A network node can also include one or more (or all) parts of a distributed radio base station, such as centralized digital units and / or remote radio units (RRUs), sometimes referred to as Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) . Such remote radio units may or may not be integrated with an antenna like an integrated radio antenna. The parts of a distributed radio base station can also be referred to as the nodes in a distributed antenna system (DAS). Additional examples of network nodes include multi-standard radio equipment (MSR), such as MSR BSs, network controllers, such as radio network controllers (RNCs) or base station controllers (BSCs), transceiver base stations ( BTSs), transmission points, transmission nodes, multicell / multicast coordination entities (MCEs), central network nodes (for example, MSCs, MMEs), O&M nodes, OSS nodes, SON nodes, positioning nodes (for example , E-SMLCs), and / or MDTs. As another example, a network node can be a virtual network node, as described in more detail below. More generally, however, network nodes can represent any suitable device (or group of devices) capable, configured, arranged and / or operable to enable and / or provide a wireless device with access to the wireless network or to provide some service for a wireless device that accessed the wireless network.
[0060] [0060] In Figure 1, network node 160 includes a set of processing circuits 170, a readable medium per device 180, an interface 190, auxiliary equipment 184, a power source 186, a set of power circuits 187 , and an antenna 162. While the network node 160 illustrated in the wireless network example of Figure 1 may represent a device that includes the illustrated combination of hardware components, other embodiments may comprise network nodes with different combinations of components. It should be understood that a network node comprises any suitable combination of hardware and / or software necessary to carry out the tasks, resources, functions and methods described here. Furthermore, although the components of network node 160 are represented as individual boxes located in a larger box, or nested in multiple boxes, in practice, a network node can comprise multiple different physical components that make up a single illustrated component (for example, example, device-readable media 180 may comprise multiple separate hard drives, as well as multiple RAM modules).
[0061] [0061] Similarly, network node 160 can be composed of multiple physically separate components (for example, a NodeB component and an RNC component, or a BTS component and a BSC component, etc.), which can each have their own respective components. In certain scenarios in which network node 160 comprises multiple separate components (for example, BTS and BSC components), one or more of the separate components can be shared between several network nodes. For example, a single RNC can control multiple NodeB's. In a scenario like this, each unique NodeB and RNC pair can, in some cases, be considered a single separate network node. In some embodiments, network node 160 can be configured to support multiple radio access technologies (RATs). In such modalities, some components can be duplicated (for example, separate device-readable media 180 for the different RATs) and some components can be reused (for example, the same antenna 162 can be shared by the RATs). Network node 160 can also include multiple sets of the various components illustrated for different wireless technologies integrated into network node 160, such as, for example, GSM, WCDMA, LTE, NR, WiFi, or Bluetooth wireless technologies. These wireless technologies can be integrated into the same or different chips or chipsets and other components on network node 160.
[0062] [0062] The processing circuitry 170 is configured to perform any determination, calculation or similar operations (for example, certain procurement operations) described herein as being provided by a network node. These operations performed by the processing circuitry 170 may include processing the information obtained by the processing circuitry 170, for example, by converting the information obtained into other information, comparing the information obtained or the information converted with the information stored in the network node and / or carrying out one or more operations based on the information obtained or the information converted and, as a result of said processing, carrying out a determination.
[0063] [0063] The processing circuitry 170 may comprise a combination of one or more of a microprocessor, a controller, a microcontroller, a central processing unit, a digital signal processor, an application-specific integrated circuit, an array of field programmable port, or any other device, resource or combination of hardware, software and / or codable operable computing logic suitable to provide, both individually and in conjunction with other components of network node 160, such as device-readable media 180, the functionality of the network node 160. For example, the processing circuitry 170 may execute instructions stored on device-readable media 180 or in memory in the processing circuitry 170. Such functionality may include the provision of any one of the many wireless features, functions or benefits discussed here. In some embodiments, the processing circuitry 170 may include a system on a chip (SOC).
[0064] [0064] In some embodiments, the processing circuitry 170 may include one or more of the radio frequency (RF) transceiver circuitry 172 and the baseband processing circuitry 174.

[0085] [0085] Figure 2 illustrates a modality of an UE according to several aspects described here. As used herein, user equipment or UE may not necessarily have a user in the sense of a human user who owns and / or operates the relevant device.

[0095] [0095] Figure 3 is a schematic block diagram that illustrates a virtualization environment 300 in which the functions implemented by some modalities can be virtualized. In the present context, virtualization means creating virtual versions of devices or devices, which can include virtualization of hardware platforms, storage devices and network resources. As used herein, virtualization can be applied to a node (for example, a virtualized base station or a virtualized radio access node) or to a device (for example, a UE, a wireless device, or any other type of communication device) or components thereof, and refers to an implementation in which at least a part of the functionality is implemented as one or more virtual components (for example, through one or more applications, components, functions, virtual machines or containers running on one or more physical processing nodes on one or more networks).
[0096] [0096] In some modalities, some or all of the functions described here can be implemented as virtual components executed by one or more virtual machines implemented in one or more virtual environments 300 hosted by one or more hardware nodes 330. Additionally, in modalities in which the virtual node is not a radio access node or does not require radio connectivity (for example, a central network node), then the network node can be fully virtualized.
[0097] [0097] The functions can be implemented by one or more 320 applications (which can alternatively be called software instances, virtual appliances, network functions, virtual nodes, virtual network functions, etc.) operating to implement some of the features, functions and / or benefits of some of the modalities described here. Applications 320 run in the virtualization environment 300 that provides hardware 330 that comprises a set of 360 processing circuits and memory
[0098] [0098] The virtualization environment 300, comprises devices in general purpose or special purpose network hardware 330 that comprise a set of one or more processors or set of 360 processing circuits, which can be ready-to-use processors (COTS) , dedicated application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), or any other type of processing circuitry that includes digital or analog hardware components or special-purpose processor. Each hardware device may comprise 390-1 memory which may be non-persistent memory to temporarily store 395 instructions or software executed by the 360 processing circuitry. Each hardware device may comprise one or more network interface controllers ( 370 NICs), also known as network interface cards, which include the physical network interface 380.
[0099] [0099] The virtual machines 340 comprise virtual processing, virtual memory, virtual network or interface and virtual storage, and can be executed by a corresponding virtualization layer 350 or hypervisor. Different modalities of the virtual appliance instance 320 can be implemented in one or more of the virtual machines 340, and the implementations can be done in different ways.
[00100] [00100] During operation, the processing circuitry 360 runs software 395 to instantiate the hypervisor or the virtualization layer 350, which can sometimes be referred to as a virtual machine monitor (VMM). The virtualization layer 350 can feature a virtual operating platform that appears as network hardware for the virtual machine 340.
[00101] [00101] As shown in figure 3, hardware 330 can be an independent network node with generic or specific components. Hardware 330 can comprise a 3225 antenna and can implement some functions through virtualization. Alternatively, hardware 330 may be part of a larger grouping of hardware (for example, such as in a data center or consumer facility equipment (CPE)) where many hardware nodes work together and are managed through management and orchestration (MANO) 3100,
[00102] [00102] Hardware virtualization is, in some contexts, referred to as network function virtualization (NFV). NFV can be used to consolidate many types of network equipment onto industry-standard high-volume server hardware, physical switches, and physical storage, which can be located in data centers, and equipment on consumer premises.
[00103] [00103] In the context of NFV, virtual machine 340 can be a software implementation of a physical machine that runs programs as if they were running on a non-virtualized physical machine. Each of the virtual machines 340, and that part of the hardware 330 that runs this virtual machine, whether the same hardware dedicated to this virtual machine and / or hardware shared by this virtual machine with other virtual machines 340, forms a virtual network element separate (VNE).
[00104] [00104] Still in the context of NFV, the Virtual Network Function (VNF) is responsible for handling the specific network functions that run on one or more virtual machines 340 on top of the hardware 330 network infrastructure and corresponds to application 320 on figure 3.
[00105] [00105] In some embodiments, one or more 3200 radio units that each include one or more 3220 transmitters and one or more 3210 receivers can be coupled to one or more 3225 antennas. The 3200 radio units can communicate directly with the hardware nodes 330 via one or more appropriate network interfaces and can be used in combination with the virtual components to provide a virtual node with radio capabilities, such as a radio access node or a base station.

It should also be understood that the method of figure 10 is not necessarily performed exclusively by the 1100 apparatus.

[00189] [00189] Figure 12 illustrates another example of method 1200 for use in a wireless device. In step 1210, a first configured maximum transmit power value (P cmax1) can be determined to transmit on a first RAT. The P cmax1l is determined based on one or more transmissions from the first RAT. In some embodiments, P cmaxl is based on at least one first maximum power reduction value (MPRI), which is determined based on a number of resource blocks allocated for transmissions from the first RAT. In some modalities, the MPR1 is additionally based on the positions of resource blocks allocated for the transmissions of the first RAT. In some modalities, MPR1 is based on the numbers and / or positions of the resource blocks allocated for transmissions from the first RAT only.
[00190] [00190] In step 1220, a second value of maximum configured transmission power (P cmax2) can be determined to transmit in a second RAT. The P cmax2 is determined based on transmissions from both the first RAT and the second RAT (for example, at least one transmission from the first RAT and at least one transmission from the second RAT). In certain embodiments, P cmax2 based on at least a second maximum power reduction value (MPR2), which is determined based on the number of resource blocks allocated for transmissions from both the first RAT and the second RAT (for example, a number of resource blocks allocated for transmissions from the first RAT and a number of resource blocks allocated for transmissions from the second RAT). In certain embodiments, P cmax2 is determined based, at least in part, on the transmission power of current transmissions in the first radio access technology. In some embodiments, the MPR2 is additionally based on the positions of the resource blocks allocated to the first and second RATs.
[00191] [00191] In certain modalities, P cmax1 and P cmax2 can be determined based on them, partially on the same, or on different one or more transmissions from the first RAT. For example, P cmaxl can be determined based on one or more first transmissions from the first RAT and P cmax2 can be determined based on one or more second transmissions from the first RAT, where the first and second transmission (s) of the first RAT may be the same transmission (s), may include some of the same transmission (s)
[00192] [00192] In certain modalities, P cmaxl and / or P cmax2 are determined by considering the transmissions scheduled for both the first RAT and the second RAT. Alternatively, in certain embodiments, the P cmax2 is determined based on the consideration that the first RAT has no scheduled transmissions, regardless of whether the wireless device is scheduled to transmit on the first RAT. Similarly, in certain embodiments, the P cmax1 is determined based on the consideration that the second RAT has no scheduled transmissions, regardless of whether the wireless device is scheduled to transmit on the second RAT. In this way, the determination of P cmax1 and / or P cmax2 can be configurable based on the type of RATs they are accessing and the ability of the network to coordinate or obtain information on resource scheduling through different RATs.
[00193] [00193] In certain modalities, the determination of one or more of P cmax1 and P cmax2 includes determining the respective lower and upper limits for P cmax1 and / or P cmax2 and using a value with these limits for P cmax1 and / or P cmax2, respectively.
[00194] [00194] In certain modalities, the first RAT is LTE RAT and the second RAT is RAT Novo Rádio (NR). In this way, the wireless device can determine the respective maximum powers for multi-RAT configurations, including combinations of LTE and NR RATs.
[00195] [00195] In step 1230, a transmission is performed in the first RAT at a power less than or equal to P cmax1. In certain embodiments, the transmission of the first RAT comprises transmitting a physical channel or signal from the first RAT. The physical channel or signal of the first RAT can be any of the PUSCH, PUCCH, SRS, and PRACH.
[00196] [00196] In step 1240, a transmission is performed in the second RAT at a power less than or equal to P cmax2. In certain embodiments, the transmission of the second RAT comprises transmitting a physical channel or signal from the second RAT. The physical channel or signal of the second RAT is one of a PUSCH, a PUCCH, a PRACH, and an SRS.
[00197] [00197] In this way, method 1200 illustrates a method for use in a wireless device, according to which, the wireless device determines the maximum transmission power values (P cmax1 and P cmax2) for the respective communication technologies radio access to which the wireless device can be connected or otherwise transmit. In addition, the wireless device can carry out transmissions on the respective radio access technologies using transmission powers less than or equal to the determined Pcmaxl and P cmax2, respectively. As a result, an example of a method is provided that addresses one or more of the problems discussed here and provides one or more of the advantages described through conventional techniques.

[00199] [00199] Although the present description has been described in several ways, a myriad of changes, variations, alterations, transformations and modifications can be suggested to those skilled in the art, and it is intended that the present description covers such changes, variations, alterations, transformations and modifications that fall within the scope of the attached claims.
