Abstract

There is provided a method, performed by a network node, for enabling uplink power control in a wireless network. The method comprises assigning (S1) a transmit power for downlink transmission of a reference signal, wherein the reference signal is to be used for power control of at least one uplink transmission. The method further comprises determining (S2) a reference signal transmit power parameter providing a fictitious value for the transmit power of the reference signal that is different from the assigned transmit power. The method also comprises transmitting (S3) the reference signal transmit power parameter to at least one wireless device to enable the wireless device(s) to perform transmit power determination for the uplink transmission(s) at least partly based on the fictitious value for the transmit power of the reference signal.
