Abstract

A method is provided for performing, by a user equipment (UE), a power headroom reporting (PHR) procedure in a wireless communication system. The UE determines whether at least one PHR has been triggered and not canceled, and whether an uplink (UL) resource can accommodate a PHR media access control (MAC) control element (CE) plus its subheader as a result of a logical channel prioritization (LCP). The UE transmits the PHR MAC CE, if it is determined that the at least one PHR has been triggered and not canceled, and that the UL resource can accommodate the PHR MAC CE plus its subheader.

Claims (29)

1. A method for performing, by a user equipment

headroom reporting (PHR) procedure in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a handover command including medium access control (MAC)-MainConfig including PHR-Config;

reconfiguring the MAC-MainConfig to trigger at least one PHR;

determining whether the at least one PHR has been triggered and not canceled;

determining whether an uplink (UL) resource can accommodate a PHR MAC control element (CE) plus its subheader as a result of a logical channel prioritization (LCP); and

transmitting the PHR MAC CE, if it is determined that the at least one PHR has been triggered and not canceled, and that the UL resource can accommodate the PHR MAC CE plus its subheader.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PHR MAC CE is not transmitted, if there is no triggered PHR or if the UL resource cannot accommodate the PHR MAC CE plus its subheader.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one PHR has not been canceled if the at least one PHR has not been transmitted.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising triggering the at least one PHR.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving the UL resource.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising canceling all triggered PHRs after transmitting the PHR MAC CE.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PHR MAC CE is a normal PHR MAC CE or an extended PHR MAC CE.

8. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a memory;

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor operably coupled to the memory and the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

control the RF unit to receive a handover command including medium access control (MAC)-MainConfig including power headroom reporting (PHR)-Config;

reconfigure the MAC-MainConfig to trigger at least one PHR;

determine whether the at least one PHR has been triggered and not canceled,

determine whether an uplink (UL) resource can accommodate a PHR MAC control element (CE) plus its subheader as a result of a logical channel prioritization (LCP), and

control the RF unit to transmit the PHR MAC CE, if it is determined that the at least one PHR has been triggered and not canceled, and that the UL resource can accommodate the PHR MAC CE plus its subheader.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the PHR MAC CE is not transmitted, if there is no triggered PHR or if the UL resource cannot accommodate the PHR MAC CE plus its subheader.

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the at least one PHR has not been canceled if the at least one PHR has not been transmitted.

11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to trigger the at least one PHR.

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the RF unit to receive the UL resource.

13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to cancel all triggered PHRs after transmitting the PHR MAC CE.

14. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the PHR MAC CE is a normal PHR MAC CE or an extended PHR MAC CE.
