Abstract

The embodiments of the present document provide a method and device for reporting a power headroom report, which relates to the field of mobile communications, and solves the problem of lacking a triggering and sending mechanism for a PHR of the dual-connectivity terminal in the related art. The method includes: a terminal triggering to report a PHR when detecting that a first cell is added in a SeNB; and the terminal reporting the PHR to a MeNB and/or the SeNB, to which the terminal belongs. The technical scheme provided in the embodiments of the present document is applicable to a long term evolution system, which implements the PHR reporting of the dual-connectivity terminal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for reporting a power headroom report, comprising:
a terminal triggering to report a power headroom report, PHR, when detecting that a first cell is added in a small cell eNodeB, SeNB; and the terminal reporting the PHR to a MeNB and/or SeNB, to which the terminal belongs.

2 . The method for reporting a power headroom report according to claim 1 , wherein, the terminal reporting the PHR to a MeNB and/or the SeNB, to which the terminal belongs, comprises:
the terminal configuring a reporting format of a PHR required to be reported according to the following sequence: a type2 PHR of a primary serving cell; a type1 PHR of the primary serving cell; a type2 PHR of a secondary serving cell; a type1 PHR of the secondary serving cell; the terminal reporting the PHR to the MeNB and/or the SeNB, to which the terminal belongs, according to the reporting format.

3 . The method for reporting a power headroom report according to claim 2 , wherein, when there are a plurality of secondary serving cells that are configured with PUCCH and can perform simultaneously sending of PUCCH and PUSCH, in the reporting format, the type2 PHRs of the plurality of secondary serving cells are arranged according to a sequence of cell identifiers from small to large.

4 . The method for reporting a power headroom report according to claim 2 , wherein, when there are a plurality of secondary serving cells for which sending is required, in the reporting format, the type1 PHRs of the plurality of secondary serving cells are arranged according to a sequence of cell identifiers from small to large.

5 . The method for reporting a power headroom report according to claim 2 , wherein, the secondary serving cells comprise the secondary serving cells that are configured with PUCCH and can perform simultaneously sending of PUCCH and PUSCH.

6 . The method for reporting a power headroom report according to claim 1 , wherein, the terminal configuring and reporting the PHR to the MeNB and/or the SeNB, to which the terminal belongs, comprises:
the terminal configuring a reporting format of a PHR required to be reported according to the following sequence: a type2 PHR of a primary serving cell; a type1 PHR of the primary serving cell; a type2 PHR and a type1 PHR of a secondary serving cell, wherein only a secondary serving cell that is configured with PUCCH and can perform simultaneously sending of PUCCH and PUSCH has the type2 PHR; the terminal reporting the PHR to a cell and/or a small cell, to which the terminal belongs, according to the reporting format.

7 . The method for reporting a power headroom report according to claim 5 , wherein, when there are a plurality of secondary serving cells, in the reporting format, the type2 PHRs and the type1 PHRs of the plurality of secondary serving cells are arranged according to a sequence of cell identifiers from small to large.

8 . A device for reporting a power headroom report, comprising:
a triggering module, configured to trigger to report a PHR when detecting that a first cell is added in a small cell eNodeB, SeNB; and an execution module, configured to report the PHR to a MeNB and/or the SeNB, to which the device belongs.

9 . The device for reporting a power headroom report according to claim 8 , wherein, the execution module comprises:
a first configuration unit, configured to configure a reporting format of the PHR required to be reported according to the following sequence: a type2 PHR of a primary serving cell; a type1 PHR of the primary serving cell; a type2 PHR of a secondary serving cell; a type1 PHR of the secondary serving cell; a first reporting unit, configured to report the PHR to a cell and/or a small cell, to which the device belongs, according to the reporting format.

10 . The device for reporting a power headroom report according to claim 8 , wherein, the execution module further comprises:
a second configuration unit, configured to configure a reporting format of the PHR required to be reported according to the following sequence: a type2 PHR of a primary serving cell; a type1 PHR of the primary serving cell; a type2 PHR and a type1 PHR of a secondary serving cell, wherein only a secondary serving cell that is configured with PUCCH and can perform simultaneously sending of PUCCH and PUSCH has the type2 PHR; a second reporting unit, configured to report the PHR to a cell and/or a small cell, to which the device belongs, according to the reporting format.
