A method of path loss estimation at a user equipment, UE, comprising: receiving, by the UE in an active state, a plurality of distinct downlink cell-specific signal blocks, each of the plurality of distinct downlink cell-specific signal blocks comprising a synchronization signal and a broadcast channel demodulation reference signal, each of the received plurality of distinct downlink cell-specific signal blocks corresponding to a respective beam in a multiple beams transmission from a base station; receiving, by the UE in the active state, control information which is indicative of a signal transmission power of each of the plurality of distinct downlink cell-specific signal blocks, wherein the control information which is indicative of the signal transmission power of each of the plurality of distinct downlink cell-specific signal blocks is a single value that characterizes a signal transmission power at which all the plurality of distinct downlink cell-specific signal blocks are transmitted; and determining, by the UE in the active state, a plurality of estimated path losses for the UE, each respective estimated path loss corresponding to a respective distinct downlink cell-specific signal block of the plurality of distinct downlink cell-specific signal blocks and each estimated path loss being determined based at least in part on the single value and a received power of the respective distinct downlink cell-specific signal block filtered using a layer 3 filtering coefficient; estimating, by the UE in the active state, one path loss for the UE to be used for power control of transmission power of uplink communications based on the plurality of estimated path losses for the UE. receiving, by the UE in an active state, a plurality of distinct downlink cell-specific signal blocks, each of the plurality of distinct downlink cell-specific signal blocks comprising a synchronization signal and a broadcast channel demodulation reference signal, each of the received plurality of distinct downlink cell-specific signal blocks corresponding to a respective beam in a multiple beams transmission from a base station; receiving, by the UE in the active state, control information which is indicative of a signal transmission power of each of the plurality of distinct downlink cell-specific signal blocks, wherein the control information which is indicative of the signal transmission power of each of the plurality of distinct downlink cell-specific signal blocks is a single value that characterizes a signal transmission power at which all the plurality of distinct downlink cell-specific signal blocks are transmitted; and determining, by the UE in the active state, a plurality of estimated path losses for the UE, each respective estimated path loss corresponding to a respective distinct downlink cell-specific signal block of the plurality of distinct downlink cell-specific signal blocks and each estimated path loss being determined based at least in part on the single value and a received power of the respective distinct downlink cell-specific signal block filtered using a layer 3 filtering coefficient; estimating, by the UE in the active state, one path loss for the UE to be used for power control of transmission power of uplink communications based on the plurality of estimated path losses for the UE.
