Claim:
1. An apparatus of User Equipment (UE) configurable for dual connectivity, the apparatus comprising: processing circuitry; and transceiver circuitry configured to: receive signaling from a primary cell group (CG1) associated with a master eNB (MeNB), the signaling to configure the UE with a secondary cell group (CG2) for dual connectivity, the CG2 associated with a secondary eNB (SeNB); receive scheduling information, from the MeNB, for a scheduled uplink transmission in the CG1; receive scheduling information, from the SeNB, for a scheduled uplink transmission in the CG2; allocate a minimum power for the scheduled uplink transmission in the CG2 before allocating at least some remaining power to the scheduled uplink transmission in the CG1 if the scheduled uplink transmission in the CG2 includes control information and if the scheduled uplink transmission in the CG2 is determined to overlap in time with the scheduled uplink transmission in the CG1; and transmit the scheduled uplink transmission in the CG2 and the scheduled uplink transmission in the CG1 in accordance with respective power allocations.
