1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
a processor,
memory coupled with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
identify that the UE is operating in dual connectivity with a master cell group and a secondary cell group;
determine a secondary cell group first transmission power for allocation across one or more component carriers of the secondary cell group during a transmission occasion based at least in part on a secondary cell group second transmission power for transmissions from the UE to the secondary cell group during the transmission occasion;
determine a master cell group first transmission power for allocation across one or more component carriers of the master cell group during the transmission occasion;
allocate the master cell group first transmission power to the master cell group and the secondary cell group first transmission power to the secondary cell group;
allocate, within the master cell group, the master cell group first transmission power between one or more first scheduled transmissions to the master cell group during the transmission occasion;
allocate, within the secondary cell group and independent of the allocation within the master cell group, the secondary cell group first transmission power between one or more second scheduled transmissions to the secondary cell group during the transmission occasion; and
communicate with the master cell group and with the secondary cell group during the transmission occasion in accordance with the allocating.
