Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some cases, a user equipment (UE) may be scheduled to transmit uplink signals on different carriers during transmission time intervals (TTIs) that have different durations. As such, a TTI on a first carrier (e.g., a reference carrier) may overlap with multiple shortened TTIs (sTTIs) on a second carrier (e.g., a non-reference carrier). Using the techniques described herein, the UE may select a calibration point (or a gain index) for uplink transmissions at the beginning of the TTI on the reference carrier based on an amount of power reserved for expected power increases during the TTI. As such, when the UE has to update its transmit power for an uplink transmission during an sTTI on the second carrier, the UE may apply a digital back-off from a power associated with the calibration point.
