| 20210410074 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING POWER CONTROL CONFIGURATION - A method and device for determining power control configuration. it is determined whether a first transmit power control configuration based on a first uplink transmission is outdated; and a second transmit power control configuration for a second uplink transmission is determined based on a power control scheme. Therefore, transmit power control efficiency of sparse data transmissions may be improved. | 2021-12-30 |
