A method for wireless communication, comprising: determining , by a user equipment , a control channel transmit power for a control channel and a data channel transmit power for a data channel that are to be transmitted during a portion of a slot, wherein the control channel and the data channel are scheduled to be transmitted in contiguous resource blocks of the portion of the slot, wherein the control channel transmit power and the data channel transmit power are determined so that a difference between a control channel power spectral density, PSD, associated with the control channel transmit power and a data channel PSD associated with the data channel transmit power is less than a maximum difference in PSDs the user equipment can accommodate for contiguous resource blocks, wherein the control channel transmit power and the data channel transmit power satisfy a threshold relating to a link budget; and transmitting , by the user equipment, at least one of the control channel or the data channel during the portion of the slot, characterised in that a quantity of resource blocks in a resource allocation for the control channel or the data channel is reduced from a quantity of resource blocks in a candidate resource allocation based at least in part on the control channel transmit power or the data channel transmit power. determining , by a user equipment , a control channel transmit power for a control channel and a data channel transmit power for a data channel that are to be transmitted during a portion of a slot, wherein the control channel and the data channel are scheduled to be transmitted in contiguous resource blocks of the portion of the slot, wherein the control channel transmit power and the data channel transmit power are determined so that a difference between a control channel power spectral density, PSD, associated with the control channel transmit power and a data channel PSD associated with the data channel transmit power is less than a maximum difference in PSDs the user equipment can accommodate for contiguous resource blocks, wherein the control channel transmit power and the data channel transmit power satisfy a threshold relating to a link budget; and wherein the control channel and the data channel are scheduled to be transmitted in contiguous resource blocks of the portion of the slot, wherein the control channel transmit power and the data channel transmit power are determined so that a difference between a control channel power spectral density, PSD, associated with the control channel transmit power and a data channel PSD associated with the data channel transmit power is less than a maximum difference in PSDs the user equipment can accommodate for contiguous resource blocks, wherein the control channel transmit power and the data channel transmit power satisfy a threshold relating to a link budget; and transmitting , by the user equipment, at least one of the control channel or the data channel during the portion of the slot, characterised in that a quantity of resource blocks in a resource allocation for the control channel or the data channel is reduced from a quantity of resource blocks in a candidate resource allocation based at least in part on the control channel transmit power or the data channel transmit power. <EOS>
