Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages indicating: uplink resources of a first cell; and a sidelink resource pool of the first cell. A power headroom value of the first cell is selected among: a first power headroom value of an uplink transmission via the uplink resources; and a second power headroom value of a sidelink transmission via the sidelink resource pool. A power headroom report is transmitted. The power headroom report comprises: the power headroom value of the first cell; and a power headroom type indicating whether the power headroom value of the first cell is for the uplink transmission or the sidelink transmission.
