POWER HEADROOM REPORTING FOR UNCONFIGURED CARRIERS WITH UNCONFIGURED UPLINK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18474966 titled 'POWER HEADROOM REPORTING FOR UNCONFIGURED CARRIERS WITH UNCONFIGURED UPLINK

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for power headroom reporting for carriers unconfigured for uplink communication. A user equipment (UE) transmits a power headroom report (PHR) to a network entity, including information for both configured and unconfigured carriers. The UE receives a message indicating a selected carrier in response to the PHR and transmits an uplink transmission via the selected carrier.

Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects relate to power headroom reporting for carriers unconfigured for uplink communication are described. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a network entity, a power headroom report (PHR) including first power headroom information for a configured carrier configured for uplink communication and second power headroom information for at least one unconfigured carrier that is unconfigured for uplink communication. The UE may further receive, from the network entity, a message indicating a selected carrier comprising one of the configured carrier and the at least one unconfigured carrier in response to the PHR, and may transmit, to the network entity, an uplink transmission via the selected carrier. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
