Fuente: Wipo "precision farming" Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for determining application timing for path loss reference signals (PL RS). For example, a method for wireless communication by a user equipment (120), UE, comprises: receiving (1002), from a network entity (110), a medium access control control element, MAC-CE, indicating a path loss reference signal, PL RS, update for an uplink channel; determining whether one or more conditions are satisfied, the one or more conditions include whether a same PL RS is already measured or maintained for power control of one or more other uplink channels, and wherein the one or more conditions further include whether the PL RS has no configured transmission configuration indicator, TCI, state and the PL RS is a synchronization signal block, SSB; and determining (1004) an application time for applying the PL RS update based on whether the one more conditions are satisfied.
