Abstract

A method and apparatus for determining uplink power in a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU). The WTRU operates in a carrier aggregated system. The WTRU is configured to receive a plurality of uplink power parameters indexed to one of a plurality of uplink carriers and receive a transmit power control command indexed to the one of the plurality of uplink carriers. The WTRU is configured to determine a pathloss of the one of the plurality of uplink carriers and determine a transmit power for the one of the plurality of uplink carriers based on the plurality of power parameters, the transmit power control command, and the pathloss.

Claims (135)

1. A method of determining a power headroom (PH) in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the WTRU configured to simultaneously transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) with a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) on at least one of carrier (k) on one or more subframes (i), the method comprising calculating PH (i, k) as:

wherein PH (i,k) is rounded to the closest value in a range in dB, in steps of 1 dB, and delivered by a physical layer to one or more higher layers.

2. A method of determining a power headroom (PH) in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the WTRU configured to transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on at least one of a plurality of carriers (k) on one or more subframes (i), the method comprising calculating PH (i, k) as:

PH ( i,k )= P CMAX ( k )−{10 log 10 ( M PUSCH ( i,k ))+ P O — PUSCH ( j,k )+α( j,k )· PL ( k )+Δ TF ( i,k )+ƒ( i,k )},

wherein PH (i,k) is rounded to the closest value in a range in dB, in steps of 1 dB, and delivered by a physical layer to one or more higher layers.

3. A method of determining a power headroom (PH) in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the WTRU configured to simultaneously transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) with a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) on at least one of carrier (k) on one or more subframes (i), the method comprising calculating PH (i, k) as a difference between a maximum WTRU transmit power on an uplink carrier (k) and a logarithmic function, the logarithmic function including a sum of a first expression and a second expression, the first expression including: a bandwidth factor, an open-loop component, the open-loop component including a pathloss estimate for the uplink carrier (k), and a closed loop component, the closed loop component including a carrier specific modulation and coding scheme offset, and the second expression including: the pathloss estimate for the uplink carrier (k), a PUCCH format dependent value, and a PUCCH power control adjustment function.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first expression further includes a closed-loop function.

5. A method of determining a power headroom (PH) in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the WTRU configured to transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on at least one of a plurality of carriers (k) on one or more subframes (i), the method comprising calculating PH (i, k) as a difference between a maximum WTRU transmit power on an uplink carrier (k) and an expression, the expression including: a bandwidth factor, an open-loop component, the open-loop component including a pathloss estimate for the uplink carrier (k), and a closed loop component, the closed loop component including a carrier specific modulation and coding scheme offset.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the expression further includes a closed-loop function.
