1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:
a transmitter architecture adapted to transmit SRS transmissions and PUSCH transmissions; a controller adapted to interact with and control the transmitter architecture to switch between a plurality of transmission power modes and to transmit each SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission while in at least one of the plurality of power modes; wherein the plurality of power modes comprises a Low Power Mode (LPM), a Mid Power Mode (MPM), and a High Power Mode (HPM); wherein the controller is further adapted to select a reference mode from one of the plurality of power modes each time an SRS transmission occurs, the reference mode for transmitting the SRS is selected based on a power mode that the SRS transmission belongs to or is selected based on a predicted power mode that the PUSCH transmission following the SRS transmission will likely belong to;
wherein when the selected reference mode is LPM, the controller is adapted to control the transmitter architecture to switch the power mode at a low default switching point power level between LPM and MPM;wherein when the selected reference mode is MPM, the controller is adapted to control the transmitter architecture to switch power modes at a low extended switching point power level between LPM and MPM and at the high default switching point power level between MPM and HPM; andwherein when the selected reference mode is HPM, the controller is adapted to control the transmitter architecture to switch power modes at a high extended switching point power level between MPM and HPM;the low extended switching point power level being lower than the low default switching point power level and the high extended switching point power level being lower than the high default switching point power level.
