Abstract

A wireless device may select a power headroom value of a first cell. The power headroom value may be selected from a first power headroom value of an uplink transmission via uplink resources of the first cell, and a second power headroom value of a sidelink transmission via a sidelink resource pool of the first cell. The power headroom value may be selected based on whether the uplink transmission or the sidelink transmission is a scheduled transmission. The wireless device may transmit, based on selecting the power headroom value, a power headroom report comprising the power headroom value of the first cell.

Claims (57)

1. A method comprising:

selecting, by a wireless device, a power headroom value of a first cell among:

a first power headroom value of an uplink transmission via uplink resources of the first cell; and

a second power headroom value of a sidelink transmission via a sidelink resource pool of the first cell,

wherein the selecting is based on whether the uplink transmission or the sidelink transmission is a scheduled transmission; and

transmitting, based on the selecting, a power headroom report comprising the power headroom value of the first cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power headroom report further comprises a power headroom type indicating whether the power headroom value of the first cell is for the uplink transmission or the sidelink transmission.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an indication of the uplink resources and the sidelink resource pool.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power headroom report indicates whether the second power headroom value is based on:

an actual sidelink transmission; or

a sidelink reference format.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising, in response to the wireless device being configured with a mode 1 sidelink in the sidelink resource pool:

determining the power headroom report based on the actual sidelink transmission; and

receiving resource assignments for the sidelink transmission from a base station.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising, in response to the wireless device being configured with a mode 2 sidelink in the sidelink resource pool:

determining the power headroom report based on the sidelink reference format; and

determining resource assignments for the sidelink transmission.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, in response to a configured first uplink transmission and a configured second sidelink transmission overlapping in time, dropping:

the configured first uplink transmission via the uplink resources of the first cell; and

the configured second sidelink transmission via the sidelink resource pool of the first cell.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in response to the wireless device being scheduled with the uplink transmission in a slot and not being scheduled with the sidelink transmission in the slot, the selecting the power headroom value is further based on the uplink transmission.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in response to the wireless device being scheduled with the sidelink transmission in a slot and not being scheduled with the uplink transmission, the selecting the power headroom value is further based on the sidelink transmission.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting the power headroom value is further based on a comparison of a priority of the uplink transmission in a slot with a priority of the sidelink transmission in the slot, in response to the wireless device being scheduled with both the uplink transmission and the sidelink transmission in the slot.

11. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

select a power headroom value of a first cell among:

a first power headroom value of an uplink transmission via uplink resources of the first cell; and

a second power headroom value of a sidelink transmission via a sidelink resource pool of the first cell,

wherein selecting the power headroom value is based on whether the uplink transmission or the sidelink transmission is a scheduled transmission; and

transmit, based on selecting the power headroom value, a power headroom report comprising the power headroom value of the first cell.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the power headroom report further comprises a power headroom type indicating whether the power headroom value of the first cell is for the uplink transmission or the sidelink transmission.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive an indication of the uplink resources and the sidelink resource pool.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the power headroom report indicates whether the second power headroom value is based on:

an actual sidelink transmission; or

a sidelink reference format.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to, in response to the wireless device being configured with a mode 1 sidelink in the sidelink resource pool:

determine the power headroom report based on the actual sidelink transmission; and

receive resource assignments for the sidelink transmission from a base station.

16. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to, in response to the wireless device being configured with a mode 2 sidelink in the sidelink resource pool:

determine the power headroom report based on the sidelink reference format; and

determine resource assignments for the sidelink transmission.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to, in response to a configured first uplink transmission and a configured second sidelink transmission overlapping in time, drop:

the configured first uplink transmission via the uplink resources of the first cell; and

the configured second sidelink transmission via the sidelink resource pool of the first cell.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein, in response to the wireless device being scheduled with the uplink transmission in a slot and not being scheduled with the sidelink transmission in the slot, selecting the power headroom value is further based on the uplink transmission.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein, in response to the wireless device being scheduled with the sidelink transmission in a slot and not being scheduled with the uplink transmission, selecting the power headroom value is further based on the sidelink transmission.

20. A system comprising:

a base station; and

a wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

select a power headroom value of a first cell among:

a first power headroom value of an uplink transmission via uplink resources of the first cell; and

a second power headroom value of a sidelink transmission via a sidelink resource pool of the first cell,

wherein selecting the power headroom value is based on whether the uplink transmission or the sidelink transmission is a scheduled transmission; and

transmit, to the base station and based on selecting the power headroom value, a power headroom report comprising the power headroom value of the first cell.
