1. A method comprising:
- receiving at least one control message comprising configuration parameters of a plurality of cells comprising a first cell group and a second cell group;
determining a first transmission power for a first signal starting in a first subframe of a cell of the first cell group;
determining a second transmission power for a second signal starting in a second subframe of the second cell group, wherein the second signal overlaps, in time, with the first signal; and
if a calculated transmission power exceeds an allowable transmission power;
reducing signal transmission power of at least one of the first signal or the second signal during an overlap period if the first subframe and the second subframe overlap, in time, by less than a first duration; and
dropping a transmission of at least one of the first signal or the second signal if the first subframe and the second subframe overlap, in time, by more than a second duration.

Abstract
A wireless device determines a first transmission power for a first signal starting in a first subframe and a second transmission power for a second signal starting in a second subframe. When a calculated power value is more than an allowable transmission power a power control mechanism is employed. The wireless device reduces signal transmission power during an overlap period if the first subframe and the second subframe overlap in time by less than a first duration. The wireless device drops a signal if the first subframe and the second subframe overlap in time by more than a second duration.
