Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may establish communications with a first base station and a second base station in accordance with a dual connectivity configuration. The UE may determine a second uplink timing gap for communications with the second base station and determine, based on being in the dual connectivity configuration, a first uplink timing gap for communications with the first base station. The first uplink timing gap may be determined to be greater than the second uplink timing gap. The UE may communicate with the first base station based on the first uplink timing gap. The UE may also prioritize uplink transmit power determinations for the first base station over uplink transmit power determinations for the second base station.
