Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may obtain one or more of a number of actual bits or a number of dummy bits associated with a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) transmission that includes one or more of a deferred semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) HARQ-ACK or a retransmitted HARQ-ACK codebook. The UE may transmit the HARQ-ACK using a power for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) that is based at least in part on the number of actual bits, the number of dummy bits, or a total number of bits that is a sum of the number of actual bits and the number of dummy bits. Numerous other aspects are described.
