POWER HEADROOM REPORT METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18149388 titled 'POWER HEADROOM REPORT METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure is about a method and apparatus for reporting power headroom in a pre-5G or 5G communication system. The power headroom report (PHR) is used to support higher data rates in communication systems beyond 4G, such as LTE.
- The user equipment (UE) determines how to report the PHR based on the structure of an uplink subframe in the active serving cell.
- The UE calculates the PHR according to the reporting method chosen and sends it to the base station.
- This approach allows the UE to proactively determine and report the PHR, streamlining the reporting process.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various communication systems, including pre-5G and 5G systems, to support higher data rates and improve overall system performance.
Problems Solved
The method and apparatus described in this patent application solve the problem of efficiently reporting power headroom in a communication system. By allowing the UE to determine the reporting method and calculate the PHR, the reporting process is simplified and streamlined.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved efficiency in reporting power headroom, leading to better system performance.
- Support for higher data rates in communication systems beyond 4G.
- Simplified reporting process for the UE, reducing complexity and resource consumption.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). The present application discloses a power headroom report (PHR) method and apparatus. A user equipment (UE) determines a PHR reporting manner according to the structure of an uplink subframe in an active serving cell, calculates PHR according to the reporting manner, and sends the PHR to a base station. According to the present disclosure, a UE proactively determines the PHR reporting manner, calculates PHR and report the PHR, thus implements PHR reporting process at the UE.
