Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for transmitting a power headroom reporting in wireless communication system, the method comprising: calculating multiple Power Headroom (PH) values per an active cell; selecting one PH value among the multiple PH values for setting a value of a PH field of a corresponding cell to the selected PH value; generating a Power Headroom Reporting (PHR) Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) including the PH field set to the selected PH value; and transmitting a MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU) including the generated PHR MAC CE to a network.

Claims (28)

1. A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

triggering a Power Headroom Reporting (PHR) based on a PHR trigger event;

calculating, based on the triggered PHR, multiple Power Headroom (PH) values for multiple numerologies per an active cell;

selecting one PH value among the multiple PH values for setting a value of a PH field of a corresponding cell to the selected PH value;

generating a PHR Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) including the PH field set to the selected PH value; and

transmitting a MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU) including the generated PHR MAC CE to a network,

wherein the one PH value is selected based on a PH value corresponding to a numerology with the best radio channel condition.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PHR trigger event is one of:

an event related to expiration of prohibitPHR-Timer, or

an event related to configuration or reconfiguration of PHR functionality, or

an event related to activation of an SCell of any MAC entity with configured uplink, or

an event related to addition of a PSCell.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PHR MAC CE includes a field indicating numerology information corresponding to the selected PH value.

4. A User Equipment (UE) for operating in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) module; and

a processor operably coupled with the RF module and configured to:

trigger a Power Headroom Reporting (PHR) based on a PHR trigger event;

calculate, based on the triggered PHR, multiple Power Headroom (PH) values for multiple numerologies per an active cell,

select one PH value among the multiple PH values for setting a value of a PH field of a corresponding cell to the selected PH value,

generate a PHR Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) including the PH field set to the selected PH value, and

transmit a MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU) including the generated PHR MAC CE to a network,

wherein the one PH value is selected based on a PH value corresponding to a numerology with the best radio channel condition.

5. The UE according to claim 4 , wherein the PHR trigger event is one of:

an event related to expiration of prohibitPHR-Timer; or

an event related to configuration or reconfiguration of PHR functionality; or

an event related to activation of an SCell of any MAC entity with configured uplink; or

an event related to addition of a PSCell.

6. The UE according to claim 4 , wherein the PHR MAC CE includes a field indicating numerology information corresponding to the selected PH value.
