Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for determining a power headroom report. One method includes determining a power headroom report for transmission on a physical uplink shared channel resource corresponding to a configured grant. The method includes transmitting the power headroom report on the physical uplink shared channel resource, wherein: determining the power headroom report comprises determining whether the power headroom report is based on a real transmission or a reference format based on signaling for configured grants and downlink control information received up until a predetermined time before a first uplink symbol of the physical uplink shared channel resource; and the predetermined time is computed based on: a first parameter set to zero; and a subcarrier spacing of an active downlink bandwidth part of a scheduling cell for the configured grant.

Claims (42)

1. A method comprising:

determining a power headroom report for transmission on a physical uplink shared channel resource corresponding to a configured grant; and

transmitting the power headroom report on the physical uplink shared channel resource, wherein:

determining the power headroom report comprises determining whether the power headroom report is based on a real transmission or a reference format based on signaling for configured grants and downlink control information received up until a predetermined time before a first uplink symbol of the physical uplink shared channel resource, wherein the predetermined time is a physical uplink shared channel processing time for the configured grant; and

the predetermined time is computed based on:

a first parameter set to zero; and

a subcarrier spacing of an active downlink bandwidth part of a scheduling cell for the configured grant.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the signaling for the configured grants comprises signaling for the configured grant associated with the physical uplink shared channel resource on which the power headroom report is transmitted.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined time is a physical uplink shared channel preparation procedure time determined (T proc,2 ) for the configured grant.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first parameter set to zero corresponds to a switching time (d 2,2 ) used for calculation of the physical uplink shared channel preparation procedure time of the configured grant.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the subcarrier spacing of the active downlink bandwidth part of the scheduling cell for the configured grant is used as a downlink subcarrier spacing μ DL , for calculation of the physical uplink shared channel preparation procedure time of the configured grant.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a medium access control entity determines the power headroom report.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined time is computed based on a second parameter set to one.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined time is computed based on a third parameter corresponding to a look-up table.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the subcarrier spacing of the active downlink bandwidth part of the scheduling cell for the configured grant is used to determine the third parameter from the look-up table.

10. An apparatus comprising:

a processor that determines a power headroom report for transmission on a physical uplink shared channel resource corresponding to a configured grant; and

a transmitter that transmits the power headroom report on the physical uplink shared channel resource, wherein:

the processor determining the power headroom report comprises the processor determining whether the power headroom report is based on a real transmission or a reference format based on signaling for configured grants and downlink control information received up until a predetermined time before a first uplink symbol of the physical uplink shared channel resource, wherein the predetermined time is a physical uplink shared channel processing time for the configured grant; and

the predetermined time is computed based on:

a first parameter set to zero; and

a subcarrier spacing of an active downlink bandwidth part of a scheduling cell for the configured grant.

11. A method comprising:

receiving a power headroom report on the physical uplink shared channel resource corresponding to a configured grant, wherein:

the power headroom report is determined based on a real transmission or a reference format based on signaling for configured grants and downlink control information received up until a predetermined time before a first uplink symbol of the physical uplink shared channel resource, wherein the predetermined time is a physical uplink shared channel processing time for the configured grant; and

the predetermined time is computed based on:

a first parameter set to zero; and

a subcarrier spacing of an active downlink bandwidth part of a scheduling cell for the configured grant.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the signaling for the configured grants comprises signaling for the configured grant associated with the physical uplink shared channel resource on which the power headroom report is received.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined time is a physical uplink shared channel preparation procedure time (T proc,2 ) determined for the configured grant.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first parameter set to zero corresponds to a switching time (d 2,2 ) used for calculation of the physical uplink shared channel preparation procedure time of the configured grant.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the subcarrier spacing of the active downlink bandwidth part of the scheduling cell for the configured grant is used as a downlink subcarrier spacing μ DL for calculation of the physical uplink shared channel preparation procedure time of the configured grant.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein a medium access control entity determines the power headroom report.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined time is computed based on a second parameter set to one.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined time is computed based on a third parameter corresponding to a look-up table.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the subcarrier spacing of the active downlink bandwidth part of the scheduling cell for the configured grant is used to determine the third parameter from the look-up table.

20. An apparatus comprising:

a receiver that receives a power headroom report on the physical uplink shared channel resource corresponding to a configured grant, wherein:

the power headroom report is determined based on a real transmission or a reference format based on signaling for configured grants and downlink control information received up until a predetermined time before a first uplink symbol of the physical uplink shared channel resource, wherein the predetermined time is a physical uplink shared channel processing time for the configured grant; and

the predetermined time is computed based on:

a first parameter set to zero; and

a subcarrier spacing of an active downlink bandwidth part of a scheduling cell for the configured grant.
