TECHNIQUES FOR REPORTING POWER HEADROOM FOR MULTIPLE UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL REPETITIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17390644 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR REPORTING POWER HEADROOM FOR MULTIPLE UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL REPETITIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application related to wireless communications. The invention involves a user equipment (UE) that can receive control signaling for scheduling multiple uplink transmission repetitions. These repetitions are associated with different sets of sounding reference signal (SRS) resources. The UE determines power headroom (PHR) values for each set of repetitions, where at least one PHR value is determined based on the transmission power of one of the repetitions or default transmission power settings. The UE generates a PHR report that includes the determined PHR values and transmits it to the base station.

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to receive control signaling scheduling multiple uplink transmission repetitions including first and second sets of repetitions associated with first and second sounding reference signal (SRS) resource sets, respectively. The UE may determine first and second power headroom (PHR) values for the respective sets of repetitions, where at least the second PHR value is determined in accordance with a first rule as either an actual value based on a transmission power of one of the uplink transmission repetitions or a virtual value based on default transmission power settings, the first rule pertaining to PHR determination for multiple sets of repetitions corresponding to multiple SRS resource sets. The UE may generate a PHR report that includes the first PHR value, the second PHR value, or both, and may transmit the PHR report to the base station.
