Abstract

The present invention provides a method, carried out by a terminal, for reporting power headroom in a wireless communication system, the method determining whether power headroom information, linked to one or more analog beams, is to be transmitted, and, on the basis of the determination, transmitting the power headroom information, wherein when the power headroom information is transmitted, the terminal also transmits information for differentiating one or more analog beams.

Claims (23)

1. A method for power headroom reporting performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving information informing the UE about a number of pieces of simultaneously reported power headroom information; and

transmitting power headroom information related to at least one analog beam based on the received information,

wherein, when transmitting the power headroom information, the UE also transmits information for identifying the at least one analog beam,

wherein, when the UE simultaneously transmits a plurality of pieces of the power headroom information respectively related to a plurality of analog beams, the UE transmits the plurality of pieces of the power headroom information respectively related to the plurality of analog beams on the basis of the information indicating the number of pieces of the simultaneously reported power headroom information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein

when transmitting the power headroom information, the UE transmits information on a maximum transmission power value allowed for the at least one analog beam together.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of the pieces of the power headroom information are determined on the basis of information for identifying the plurality of analog beams.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of the pieces of the power headroom information include only pieces of the power headroom information transmitted when uplink channel transmission is actually performed.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein

when the number of pieces of the power headroom information respectively related to the plurality of analog beams is greater than the number indicated by the information indicating the number of pieces of simultaneously transmitted power headroom information, the UE transmits the plurality of the pieces of the power headroom information.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the UE simultaneously transmits the pieces of the power headroom information respectively related to the plurality of analog beams, a quantization step size of power headroom information related to a specific analog beam among the plurality of analog beams is different from a quantization step size of power headroom information related to another analog beam among the plurality of analog beams.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein

when an analog beam list is changed, the UE transmits power headroom information related to the at least one analog beam.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the power headroom information is power headroom information transmitted when uplink channel transmission is actually performed or power headroom information transmitted when uplink channel transmission is not actually performed.

9. A user equipment comprising:

a transceiver transmitting and receiving a wireless signal; and

a processor operatively connected to the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

control the transceiver to receive information informing the UE about a number of pieces of simultaneously reported power headroom information; and

control the transceiver to transmit power headroom information related to at least one analog beam based on the received information,

wherein, when transmitting the power headroom information, the UE also transmits information for identifying the at least one analog beam,

wherein, when the UE simultaneously transmits a plurality of pieces of the power headroom information respectively related to a plurality of analog beams, the UE transmits the plurality of pieces of the power headroom information respectively related to the plurality of analog beams on the basis of the information indicating the number of pieces of the simultaneously reported power headroom information.
