Power headroom report method and apparatus of UE
View Patent ↗An improved method and an apparatus for reporting Power Headroom (PH) of a UE are provided. The Power Headroom Report (PHR) method of the present invention includes determining whether to trigger PHR based on a change of Power Management Maximum Power Reduction (P-MPR) between two time points, generating, if PHR is determined to be triggered, Power Headroom, and reporting the Power Headroom information to a base station.
1. A method for reporting power headroom (PH) by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
determining whether power backoff due to power management is changed more than a threshold value;
identifying whether an extended power headroom report (PHR) is configured;
and
transmitting, to a base station, the extended PHR if the power backoff due to the power management is changed more than the threshold value and the extended PHR is configured,
wherein the extended PHR includes a field for indicating whether or not the power backoff due to the power management is applied, the field corresponding to a first bit of an octet including a PH in the extended PHR.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the threshold value corresponds to a downlink pathloss change (DL-Pathloss Change).
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the field is 1 bit which is set to 1 for triggering of the PHR based on the change of the power backoff due to the power management, and set to 0 for triggering of the PHR based on a reason other than the change of the power backoff due to the power management.
4. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the field is 1 bit if the PHR is the extended format,
wherein the field is set to 1 if the power backoff due to the power management is applied, and
wherein the field is set to 0 if the power backoff due to the power management is not applied.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising calculating uplink transmit power before determining whether to transmit the PHR.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the calculating of uplink transmit power comprises determining a minimum value between a maximum transmit power and a required transmit power as the uplink transmit power, the required transmit power being calculated based on at least one of a number of transmission resource blocks, a transmission format, and a pathloss.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the maximum transmit power is a value selected between an upper bound (P CMAX _ H ) and a lower bound (P CMAX _ L ) that are determined by following equations:
P CMAX _ L =MIN{ P EMAX −T C ,P PowerClass −MAX( MPR+A - MPR,P - MPR )− T C },
P CMAX _ H =MIN{ P EMAX ,P PowerClass }
where P EMAX is a maximum allowed terminal output power provided by the base station, P PowerClass is a maximum available terminal power, ΔT C is a parameter for allowing additional transmission power relaxation when uplink transmission is performed at an edge of a frequency band.
8. A terminal for reporting power headroom (PH) in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and
a controller configured to:
determine whether power backoff due to power management is changed more than a threshold value,
identify whether an extended power headroom report (PHR) is configured,
and
transmit, to a base station, the extended PHR if the power backoff due to the power management is changed more than the threshold value and the extended PHR is configured,
wherein the extended PHR includes a field for indicating whether or not the power backoff due to the power management is applied, the field corresponding to a first bit of an octet including a PH in the extended PHR.
9. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the threshold value corresponds to a downlink pathloss change (DL-Pathloss Change).
10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the field is 1 bit which is set to 1 for triggering of the PHR based on the change of the power backoff due to the power management, and set to 0 for triggering of the PHR based on a reason other than the change of the power backoff due to the power management.
11. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the field is 1 bit if the PHR is the extended format,
wherein the field is set to 1 if the power backoff due to the power management is applied, and
wherein the field is set to 0 if the power backoff due to the power management is not applied.
12. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to calculate uplink transmit power before determining whether to transmit the PHR.
13. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine a minimum value between a maximum transmit power and a required transmit power as the uplink transmit power, the required transmit power being calculated based on at least one of a number of transmission resource blocks, a transmission format, and a pathloss.
14. The terminal of claim 13 , wherein the maximum transmit power is a value selected between an upper bound (P CMAX _ H ) and a lower bound (P CMAX _ L ) that are determined by following equations:
P CMAX _ L =MIN{ P EMAX −T C ,P PowerClass −MAX( MPR+A - MPR,P - MPR )− T C },
P CMAX _ H =MIN{ P EMAX ,P PowerClass }
where P EMAX is a maximum allowed terminal output power provided by the base station, P PowerClass is a maximum available terminal power, ΔT C is a parameter for allowing additional transmission power relaxation when uplink transmission is performed at an edge of a frequency band.
