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 (37)

1. A method performed by a wireless device, comprising:

selecting 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; and

transmitting a power headroom report comprising 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,

wherein the second power headroom value is determined (1) based on an actual sidelink transmission when the wireless device is configured with a mode 1 sidelink operation in which resource assignments for the sidelink transmission are received from a base station, and (2) based on a sidelink reference format that is a virtual power headroom value when the wireless device is configured with a mode 2 sidelink operation in which resource assignments for the sidelink transmission are not received from the base station.

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

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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; and

transmit a power headroom report comprising the power headroom value of a first cell and the power headroom type indicating whether the power headroom value of the first cell is for the uplink transmission or the sidelink transmission,

wherein the second power headroom value is determined (1) based on an actual sidelink transmission when the wireless device is configured with a mode 1 sidelink operation in which resource assignments for the sidelink transmission are received from a base station, and (2) based on a sidelink reference format that is a virtual power headroom value when the wireless device is configured with a mode 2 sidelink operation in which resource assignments for the sidelink transmission are not received from the base station.

8. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive an indication of the uplink resources and the sidelink resource pool.

9. The wireless device of claim 7 , 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.

10. The wireless device of claim 7 , 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.

11. The wireless device of claim 7 , 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.

12. 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; and

transmit a power headroom report comprising a power headroom value of a 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,

wherein the second power headroom value is determined (1) based on an actual sidelink transmission when the wireless device is configured with a mode 1 sidelink operation in which resource assignments for the sidelink transmission are received from a base station, and (2) based on a sidelink reference format that is a virtual power headroom value when the wireless device is configured with a mode 2 sidelink operation in which resource assignments for the sidelink transmission are not received from the base station.
