Irrespective of the power allocation, the total guaranteed power across all TTI lengths should be smaller than the maximum allowed power, Pmax.. In other words, the total power of the TTIs that may be transmitted at the same time cannot exceed Pmax.

This would work well if the TTI length is rarely changed on a carrier.

L'invention concerne un procédé, un dispositif sans fil et un nœud de réseau permettant de réguler la puissance à attribuer à des intervalles de temps de transmission, TTI. Selon un mode de réalisation, un dispositif sans fil prend en charge des TTI courts de durée inférieure à une sous-trame, et pour chacun d'au moins un TTI devant être transmis pendant une sous-trame, le dispositif sans fil attribue une puissance Pn à laquelle transmettre pendant le TTI, de sorte que le total de toutes les attributions de puissance à un intervalle de temps prédéterminé soit inférieur à une puissance maximale Pmax.
