1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
at least one memory comprising executable instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the executable instructions and cause the apparatus to:
allocate transmit power for a transmission of a signal to a candidate cell, that is a non-serving cell, based on a power prioritization rule that considers UE transmit power for transmissions on the candidate cell, a primary cell (PCell), and at least one secondary cell (Scell), wherein:
the power prioritization rule allocates UE transmit power according to a priority order of different transmission types;
the priority order specifies that a physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission on the candidate cell has a highest priority among the different transmission types; and
the different transmission types includes a PRACH transmission on the PCell; and
transmit the PRACH on the candidate cell according to the allocation.
