Beam specific power ramping counters may be used to adjust uplink transmit power. For example, a user equipment (UE) may use counters for beam specific power control of Random Access Channel (RACH) Message1 transmissions. A UE may transmit a RACH message1 on a beam specific resource and increment a counter corresponding to a gNB downlink beam. Power adjustments may be made on subsequent re-transmissions of the RACH message1 according to a power control policy. The power control policy may call for applying a power ramping function based on the value(s) of one or more of the counters.
