Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for transmitting a power headroom reporting in wireless communication system, the method comprising: generating a PHR MAC CE including multiple PH fields for a serving cell; and transmitting the PHR MAC CE, wherein the PHR MAC CE includes an octet containing a single PCMAX field associated with the multiple PH fields for the serving cell.

Claims (28)

1. A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

generating a Power Headroom Reporting (PHR) Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) including multiple Power Headroom (PH) fields for a serving cell; and

transmitting the PHR MAC CE,

wherein the PHR MAC CE includes an octet containing a single P CMAX field associated with the multiple PH fields for the serving cell,

wherein the UE operates in multiple-Bandwidth Part (BWP) operation,

wherein the PHR MAC CE includes a BWP bitmap indicating presence of a PH field per BWP within the serving cell, and

wherein the BWP bitmap includes one or more fields, each of the one or more fields corresponding to a respective BWP with an index j, and indicating presence of a PH field for the respective BWP identified by the index j.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the multiple PH fields associated with the single P CMAX field are a same type of PH.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

triggering a PHR for generating the PHR MAC CE based on at least one of:

(i) a BWP being newly configured, (ii) a configured BWP being activated or deactivated, or (iii) a configured BWP being switched.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the single P CMAX field includes power information used for calculation of the associated multiple PH fields.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UE is capable of communicating with at least one of another UE, a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station and/or a network.

6. A User Equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) module; and

a processor operably coupled with the RF module and configured to:

generate a Power Headroom Reporting (PHR) Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) including multiple Power Headroom (PH) fields for a serving cell, and

transmit the PHR MAC CE,

wherein the PHR MAC CE includes an octet containing a single P CMAX field associated with the multiple PH fields for the serving cell,

wherein the UE operates in multiple-Bandwidth Part (BWP) operation,

wherein the PHR MAC CE includes a BWP bitmap indicating presence of a PH field per BWP within the serving cell, and

wherein the BWP bitmap includes one or more fields, each of the one or more fields corresponding to a respective BWP with an index j, and indicating presence of a PH field for the respective BWP identified by the index j.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the multiple PH fields associated with the single P CMAX field are a same type of PH.

8. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

trigger a PHR for generating the PHR MAC CE based on at least one of:

(i) a BWP being newly configured, (ii) a configured BWP being activated or deactivated, or (iii) a configured BWP being switched.

9. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the single P CMAX field includes power information used for calculation of the associated multiple PH fields.

10. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the UE is capable of communicating with at least one of another UE, a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station and/or a network.
