Abstract

Systems and methods for performing power control of a physical channel in a communication system are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a method in a wireless device of performing power control of a physical channel in a wireless communication system may include determining a transmission power for a transmission on the physical channel according to a power control loop. Further, the loop may specify the transmission power based on at least one parameter. Also, a value of the at least one parameter may be dependent on which of different transmission time interval (TTI) lengths defined as usable on the physical channel is selected for the transmission on the physical channel.

 transmit ( 1103 ), to a wireless device ( 105 ,  200 ,  300 ,  400 ,  600 ), an indication of a value of at least one parameter ( 111 ) which is dependent on which of different transmission time interval (TTI) lengths defined as usable on the physical channel is selected for the transmission on the physical channel,
 wherein a transmission power for a transmission by the wireless device on the physical channel is according to a power control loop, and wherein the power control loop specifies the transmission power based on the parameter. 
   
     
     
         28 . A network node for performing power control of physical channels in a wireless communication system, comprising:
 a processor and a memory, the memory containing instructions executable by the processor whereby the network node is configured to:   transmit ( 1103 ), to a wireless device ( 105 ,  200 ,  300 ,  400 ,  600 ), a value of at least one parameter ( 111 ) which is dependent on which of different transmission time interval (TTI) lengths defined as usable on the physical channel is selected for the transmission on the physical channel,   
       wherein a transmission power for a transmission by the wireless device on the physical channel is according to a power control loop, and wherein the power control loop specifies the transmission power based on the parameter. 
     
     
         29 . A computer program product stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium for controlling a wireless device in a communication system, the computer program product comprising software instructions which, when run on the wireless device, cause the wireless device to:
 determine a transmission power for a transmission on the physical channel according to a power control loop, wherein the loop specifies the transmission power based on at least one parameter, with a value of the at least one parameter being dependent on which of different transmission time interval (TTI) lengths defined as usable on the physical channel is selected for the transmission on the physical channel.
