Power management Power headroom reports related to maximum power reduction

摘要

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which a difference between a previous power management maximum power reduction (P-MPR) and a current P-MPR is determined. The previous P-MPR is the P-MPR when an indication is communicated that a power backoff is applied due to the previous P-MPR. A power headroom report (PHR) is triggered when the difference is greater than a threshold and the current P-MPR is greater than a sum of a maximum power reduction (MPR) and an additional MPR (A-MPR). Moreover, an apparatus is provided in which whether and how a P-MPR has changed is indicated in a PHR, and the PHR is transmitted. An apparatus is also provided in which a request is received from an evolved Node B (eNodeB) to report a P-MPR, and a PHR is transmitted including information related to the P-MPR.
