Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and an apparatus for efficiently transmitting or reporting a Power Headroom Report (PHR) of a User Equipment (UE) are provided. The method of transmitting the PHR of the UE in a mobile communication system includes configuring an extended PHR including an indicator corresponding to a variation factor of a maximum transmission power of the UE, and transmitting the extended PHR from the UE to a Base Station (BS). The BS may be notified of a maximum transmission power of the UE and a variation factor corresponding to the maximum transmission power in order to enable efficient scheduling.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of transmitting a power headroom port (PHR) of a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising: determining a maximum transmission power according to a parameter associated with power management; generating an extended PHR including the determined maximum transmission power and an indicator indicating whether the UE applies power back-off due to power management; and transmitting the extended PHR to a Base Station (…
