Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for power control. For example, a method is provided for wireless communication by a user equipment that includes determining whether a sum of a first power limit for communicating on an uplink associated with a first radio access technology and a second power limit for communicating on an uplink associated with a second radio access technology is greater than an overall power limit for communicating on uplinks by the user equipment. The method further includes scaling down power used for a transmission on the uplink associated with the first radio access technology during the first time or dropping a transmission on the uplink associated with the first radio access technology during the first time when the sum is greater than the overall power limit.
