A method of wireless communication, the method being performed by a user equipment (145, 250) and comprising: configuring a primary component carrier, PCC, and a secondary component carrier, SCC; determining to prioritize the primary component carrier over the secondary component carrier; transmitting an uplink signal to a base station (130, 210); configuring a transmission power of a subsequent uplink signal based at least in part on feedback received from the base station (130, 210) in response to the uplink signal, wherein the feedback indicates to increase or to decrease transmission power based at least in part on whether reception or decoding of the uplink signal is successful, wherein configuring the transmission power comprises: decreasing a first value of a transmission power of the secondary component carrier relative to a second value of a transmission power of the primary component carrier based at least in part on the primary component carrier carrying control information for the user equipment (145, 250), wherein the second value of the transmission power of the primary component carrier is based at least in part on a first maximum power reduction value for carrier aggregation, and wherein decreasing the first value of the transmission power of the secondary component carrier relative to the second value of the transmission power of the primary component carrier comprises: decreasing the first value of the transmission power of the secondary component carrier to substantially zero; determining, based on the transmission power of the secondary component carrier being decreased to substantially zero, to determine the transmission strength of the primary component carrier by using a second maximum power reduction value, the second maximum power reduction value being associated with single carrier instead of carrier aggregation; and increasing the transmission power of the primary component carrier to a third value based at least in part on the second maximum power reduction value for single carrier. configuring a primary component carrier, PCC, and a secondary component carrier, SCC; determining to prioritize the primary component carrier over the secondary component carrier; transmitting an uplink signal to a base station (130, 210); configuring a transmission power of a subsequent uplink signal based at least in part on feedback received from the base station (130, 210) in response to the uplink signal, wherein the feedback indicates to increase or to decrease transmission power based at least in part on whether reception or decoding of the uplink signal is successful, wherein configuring the transmission power comprises: decreasing a first value of a transmission power of the secondary component carrier relative to a second value of a transmission power of the primary component carrier based at least in part on the primary component carrier carrying control information for the user equipment (145, 250), wherein the second value of the transmission power of the primary component carrier is based at least in part on a first maximum power reduction value for carrier aggregation, and wherein decreasing the first value of the transmission power of the secondary component carrier relative to the second value of the transmission power of the primary component carrier comprises: decreasing the first value of the transmission power of the secondary component carrier to substantially zero; decreasing a first value of a transmission power of the secondary component carrier relative to a second value of a transmission power of the primary component carrier based at least in part on the primary component carrier carrying control information for the user equipment (145, 250), wherein the second value of the transmission power of the primary component carrier is based at least in part on a first maximum power reduction value for carrier aggregation, and wherein decreasing the first value of the transmission power of the secondary component carrier relative to the second value of the transmission power of the primary component carrier comprises: decreasing the first value of the transmission power of the secondary component carrier to substantially zero; determining, based on the transmission power of the secondary component carrier being decreased to substantially zero, to determine the transmission strength of the primary component carrier by using a second maximum power reduction value, the second maximum power reduction value being associated with single carrier instead of carrier aggregation; and increasing the transmission power of the primary component carrier to a third value based at least in part on the second maximum power reduction value for single carrier.
