Abstract

An information format and apparatus used by a base station to make a scheduling decision when the base station allocates resource to a terminal in a mobile communication system are provided. Operations of a terminal to report a maximum transmission power accurately to the base station in a scheduling process are also provided. A method for calculating a maximum transmit power in a constant manner regardless of a channel status is also provided.

Claims (54)

1. A method for reporting a power headroom (PH) by a terminal in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

detecting a power headroom report (PHR) triggering event;

determining a maximum transmit power (P CMAX ) value of the terminal for a serving cell;

determining a power headroom (PH) of the terminal based on the P CMAX value; and

transmitting a PHR including a P CMAX corresponding to the P CMAX value and the PH for the serving cell, to a base station,

wherein the P CMAX value is determined based on a terminal power class and a maximum uplink transmit power allowed for the serving cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a control message configuring whether the P CMAX is to be included in the PHR from the base station.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting comprises:

identifying whether a power backoff has changed more than a predetermined threshold; and

determining a PHR transmission when the power backoff has changed more than a predetermined threshold.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the PHR comprises:

transmitting the P CMAX to the base station when more than one serving cell is configured.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when a parallel physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission is configured,

the determining of the PH comprises determining a type 2 PH using a P CMAX value of a first cell, a PUSCH transmit power, and a PUCCH transmit power, and

the transmitting of the PHR message comprises transmitting the type 2 PH and a P CMAX used for determining the type 2 PH.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the P CMAX value and the PH are determined for each serving cell if more than one serving cell is configured.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the P CMAX value is determined between a highest value and a lowest value of the P CMAX value, wherein the lowest value for the P CMAX value is calculated by the following equation:

P CMAX — L =MIN{ P EMAX −ΔTC, P PowerClass −MPR−A-MRP−Δ T C },

and the highest value for the P CMAX value is calculated by the following equation:

P CMAX — H =MIN{ P EMAX ,P PowerClass },

where P EMAX denotes a maximum uplink transmit power available in a cell within which the terminal is located, P PowerClass PowerClass denotes a PCMAX derived physical characteristic of the terminal, MPR denotes a value determined depending on a transmission resource amount allocated to the terminal, A-MPR denotes a value defined by a frequency band for an uplink transmission or a local characteristic or an uplink transmission bandwidth, and ΔT C denotes a value for allowing an additional transmit power adjustment when the uplink transmission is performed around edges of the frequency band.

8. A method for receiving a power headroom (PH) by a base station in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a control message configuring whether a maximum transmit power (P CMAX ) corresponding a P CMAX value is to be included in the power headroom report (PHR) to a terminal; and

receiving the PHR including the P CMAX and a power headroom (PH) for a serving cell, from the terminal when the P CMAX is configured to be included in the PHR,

wherein the P CMAX value is determined based on a terminal power class and a maximum uplink transmit power allowed for a serving cell of the base station.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the receiving the PHR comprises receiving the PHR when a power backoff has changed more than a predetermined threshold.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein, when a parallel physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission is configured,

the receiving of the PHR comprises receiving a type 2 PH and a P CMAX used for determining the type 2 PH,

wherein the type 2 PH is determined based on a P CMAX value of a first cell, a PUSCH transmit power, and a PUCCH transmit power.

11. A terminal for reporting a power headroom (PH) in a mobile communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit a power headroom report (PHR) to a base station and to receive a control message transmitted by the base station; and

a controller configured to detect a PHR triggering event, to determine a maximum transmit power (P CMAX ) value of the terminal for a serving cell, to determine a PH of the terminal based on the P CMAX value, and to transmit a PHR including a P CMAX corresponding to the P CMAX value and the PH for the serving cell to the base station,

wherein the P CMAX value is determined based on a terminal power class and a maximum uplink transmit power allowed for the serving cell.

12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the controller receives a control message configuring whether the P CMAX is to be included in the PHR from the base station.

13. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the controller identifies whether a power backoff has changed more than a predetermined threshold, and determines a PHR transmission when the power backoff has changed more than a predetermined threshold.

14. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the controller transmits the P CMAX to the base station when more than one serving cell is configured.

15. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein, when a parallel physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission is configured,

the controller determines a type 2 PH using a P CMAX value of a first cell, a PUSCH transmit power, and a PUCCH transmit power, and transmits the type 2 PH and P CMAX used for determining the type 2 PH.

16. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the P CMAX value and the PH are determined for each serving cell if more than one serving cell is configured.

17. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the P CMAX value is determined between a highest value and a lowest value of the P CMAX value,

wherein the lowest value for the P CMAX value is calculated by the following equation:

P CMAX — L =MIN{ P EMAX −ΔT C ,P PowerClass −MPR−A-MRP−Δ T C },
