Abstract

The present invention proposes a power headroom reporting method and apparatus of a terminal in a wireless communication system supporting a change in use of wireless resources. More particularly, the method comprises the steps of: determining whether power headroom reporting is triggered; and transmitting power headroom reporting (PHR) information for first upper link wireless resource and second upper link wireless resource to a base station, wherein the first upper link wireless resource is configured to allow the use of the wireless resource to be dynamically changed and the second upper link wireless resource is configured to prevent the use of the wireless resources from being dynamically changed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of performing power headroom reporting by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting usage change of a radio resource, the method comprising the steps of:
determining whether the power headroom reporting is triggered;
transmitting, to a base station, power headroom reporting (PHR) information on two uplink subframe sets associated with a same serving cell,
wherein the two uplink subframe sets comprise a first uplink subframe set and a second subframe set, which are configured to use different transmission power control parameters indicated by high layer signaling,
wherein the PHR information is determined to be valid for only one uplink subframe set among the two uplink subframe sets, and the only one uplink subframe set includes an uplink subframe in which a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) comprising the PHR information is transmitted, and
wherein the PHR information is rounded up to the closest value within a predetermined range at increments of 1 DB; and
canceling triggered PHR related to the uplink subframe, which are triggered before the time of transmitting the PHR information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power headroom reporting (PHR) information comprises a first PHR value for the first uplink subframe set and a second PHR value for the second uplink subframe set and wherein the first PHR value and the second PHR value are determined in a manner of being independent from each other.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power headroom reporting (PHR) comprises a representative power headroom reporting (PHR) value and wherein the representative PHR value corresponds to a smaller PHR value among a first PHR value for the first uplink subframe set and a second PHR value for the second uplink subframe set.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of receiving information related to reference maximum power from the base station,
wherein the reference maximum power is set to the first uplink subframe set and the second uplink subframe set, respectively, and wherein the power headroom reporting (PHR) information is determined based on the reference maximum power.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power headroom reporting (PHR) is configured to be transmitted via a predetermined uplink subframe set only when uplink data is transmitted.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power headroom reporting (PHR) is configured to be calculated for a single radio resource only among the first uplink subframe set and the second uplink subframe set.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of receiving an indicator indicating a specific uplink subframe set from the base station.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of transmitting at least one or more fields on a specific signal format, which are received from the base station, in a manner of configuring the at least one or more fields as an indicator indicating a specific uplink subframe set.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first uplink subframe set and the second uplink subframe set are configured to be commonly applied by a specific timer.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power headroom reporting (PHR) information is restricted to a type 1 PHR or a type 2 PHR.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power headroom reporting (PHR) information is derived based on a power control command until timing of receiving UL control information or timing of a UL frame in which actual Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) is transmitted.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein one among the two uplink subframe sets is composed of uplink subframes configured to be reconfigurable by higher layer signaling according to traffic adaptation.

13. A user equipment, performing power headroom reporting in a wireless communication system supporting usage change of a radio resource, comprising:
a radio frequency unit; and
a processor, the processor configured:
to determine whether the power headroom reporting is triggered,
to transmit, to a base station, power headroom reporting (PHR) information on two uplink subframe sets associated with a same serving cell,
wherein the two uplink subframe sets comprise a first uplink subframe set and a second subframe set, which are configured to use different transmission power control parameters indicated by high layer signaling,
wherein the PHR information is determined to be valid for only one uplink subframe set among the two uplink subframe sets, and the only one uplink subframe set includes an uplink subframe in which a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) comprising the PHR information is transmitted, and
wherein the PHR information is rounded up to the closest value within a predetermined range at increments of 1 DB, and
to cancel triggered PHR related to the uplink subframe, which are triggered before the time of transmitting the PHR information.
