This can also involve reducing, limiting or altering other parameters associated with scheduled transmissions during the gap. For example, the MCS may be limited. In another example, the UE may choose a transmit beamformer that requires fewer number of antenna elements or panels, freeing up other antenna elements or panels for reception. The reduction in beamforming gain can be compensated for by increasing transmit power, either by an explicit override of the power control formula during the gap, or by existing power control mechanism in which the downlink pathloss measured increases because the same set of fewer antenna elements is also used to form the beam used as downlink pathloss reference for the power control loop.
At 1260, the UE may determine the UE total GD based on the transmit and receive times tt, tr. As indicated above with respect to
