Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to allocating transmission power in multiple connectivity wireless networks. A device can establish a first connection with a first primary cell in a first cell group as well as a second connection with a second primary cell in a second cell group. The device can determine whether to prioritize a first communication over the first connection or a second communication over the second connection wherein the first communication and the second communication are scheduled for concurrent transmission. In addition the device can transmit at least one of the first communication over the first connection or the second communication over the second connection in a transmission time interval based at least in part on determining whether to prioritize the first communication or the second communication.
