These designations may be used in this disclosure as a convenient way to distinguish between two or more elements. Thus, reference to a first and second element does not imply that only two elements may be employed or that the first element must precede the second element in any way.
  • determining may encompass a wide variety of actions. For example, “judgment” can mean judging, calculating, computing, processing, deriving, investigating, looking up, search, inquiry ( For example, searching in a table, database, or other data structure), ascertaining, etc. may be considered to be “determining.”
  • judgment (decision) includes receiving (e.g., receiving information), transmitting (e.g., sending information), input (input), output (output), access ( may be considered to be “determining”, such as accessing data in memory (eg, accessing data in memory).
  • judgment is considered to mean “judging” resolving, selecting, choosing, establishing, comparing, etc. Good too.
  • judgment (decision) may be considered to be “judgment (decision)” of some action.
  • the "maximum transmit power" described in this disclosure may mean the maximum value of transmit power, the nominal maximum transmit power (the nominal UE maximum transmit power), or the rated maximum transmit power (the It may also mean rated UE maximum transmit power).
  • connection refers to any connection or coupling, direct or indirect, between two or more elements.
  • the coupling or connection between elements may be physical, logical, or a combination thereof. For example, "connection” may be replaced with "access.”
  • microwave when two elements are connected, they may be connected using one or more electrical wires, cables, printed electrical connections, etc., as well as in the radio frequency domain, microwave can be considered to be “connected” or “coupled” to each other using electromagnetic energy having wavelengths in the light (both visible and invisible) range.
  • a and B are different may mean “A and B are different from each other.” Note that the term may also mean that "A and B are each different from C”. Terms such as “separate” and “coupled” may also be interpreted similarly to “different.”
  • the i-th (i is any integer), not only in the elementary, comparative, and superlative, but also interchangeably (for example, "the highest” can be interpreted as “the i-th highest”). may be read interchangeably).
