Claim:
1. A method for user equipment operations, the method comprising: determining, at a user equipment having at least two transmit antennas, a transmit power level for the at least two transmit antennas on a per transmission layer or a per transmission codeword basis as a sum of transmit powers for the at least two transmit antennas; distributing the sum of transmit powers across transmission layers or transmission codewords according to a path loss of each of the at least two transmit antennas; and setting a power amplifier output level independently for each of the at least two transmit antennas in accordance with a respective transmit power level, wherein determining a transmit power level for the transmit antennas comprises determining the transmit power level for transmit antennas in accordance with a transmission format of transmissions made over the at least two transmit antenna.
