Method for providing maximum uplink duty cycle percentage, user equipment and network node

1. A user equipment (UE) for providing measurement information, comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

measure an uplink duty cycle percentage within a measurement duration, wherein the measurement duration is a configuration duration from a network node; and

control the transceiver to report a maximum uplink duty cycle percentage according to a measured uplink duty cycle percentage within the measurement duration,

wherein the measuring further comprises determining whether an actual uplink duty cycle exceeds a value the transceiver reports.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the ability value is a default value.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the measurement duration is in a unit of ms, slot, or symbol.

4. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the measurement duration is 0.5 ms, 1 ms, 5 ms, 10 ms, more than 10 ms, 1 slot, 10 slots, more than 10 slots, 7 symbols, 70 symbols, or more than 70 symbols.

5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the configuration duration is a cell specific duration or a UE specific duration.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein when the transceiver receives a broadcasting signaling indicating the cell specific duration from the network node, the processor uses the same configuration duration with another UE in a cell.

7. The UE of claim 5 , wherein when the transceiver receives a radio resource control (RRC) signaling indicating the UE specific duration from the network node, the processor uses a different configuration duration from another UE in a cell.

8. A method for providing measurement information of a user equipment (UE), comprising:

measuring an uplink duty cycle percentage within a measurement duration, wherein the measurement duration is a configuration duration from a network node, a default duration, and a pre-defined duration; and

reporting a maximum uplink duty cycle percentage according to a measured uplink duty cycle percentage within the measurement duration,

wherein the measuring further comprises determining whether an actual uplink duty cycle exceeds a value the UE reports.

9. A network node for providing measurement information, comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

configure, to a user equipment (UE), a measurement indication, wherein the measurement indication indicates the UE to measure an uplink duty cycle percentage within a measurement duration, and the measurement duration is a configuration duration by the processor; and

control the transceiver to receive a maximum uplink duty cycle percentage from the UE, wherein the maximum uplink duty cycle percentage is according to a measured uplink duty cycle percentage within the measurement duration,

wherein the measuring further comprises determining whether an actual uplink duty cycle exceeds a value the UE reports.

10. The network node of claim 9 , wherein the ability value is a default value.

11. The network node of claim 9 , wherein the measurement duration is in a unit of ms, slot, or symbol.

12. The network node of claim 11 , wherein the measurement duration is 0.5 ms, 1 ms, 5 ms, 10 ms, more than 10 ms, 1 slot, 10 slots, more than 10 slots, 7 symbols, 70 symbols, or more than 70 symbols.

13. The network node of claim 9 , wherein the configuration duration is a cell specific duration or a UE specific duration.

14. The network node of claim 13 , wherein the processor is configured to use a broadcasting signaling to configure, to all UEs in a cell, the same configuration duration.

15. The network node of claim 13 , wherein the processor is configured to use a radio resource control (RRC) signaling to configure, to different UEs in a cell, different configuration durations.

16. A method for providing measurement information of a network node, comprising:

configuring, to a user equipment (UE), a measurement indication, wherein the measurement indication indicates the UE to measure an uplink duty cycle percentage within a measurement duration, and the measurement duration is a configuration duration by the network node; and

receiving a maximum uplink duty cycle percentage from the UE, wherein the maximum uplink duty cycle percentage is according to a measured uplink duty cycle percentage within the measurement duration,

wherein the measuring further comprises determining whether an actual uplink duty cycle exceeds a value the UE reports.
