| 20210037477 | PRIORITY-BASED TRANSMIT POWER CONTROL - Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for priority-based transmit power control. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes communicating with at least a second UE via a link, determining a transmission power for transmitting information via the link based, at least in part, on a priority corresponding to the information, and outputting the information for transmission via the link in accordance with the determined transmission power. | 2021-02-04 |
