Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for determining a maximum power reduction for non-contiguous radio resource allocations. One apparatus includes a processor that identifies a received non-contiguous resource allocation and determines the maximum power reduction for the non-contiguous resource allocation based on whether a fraction of resource blocks punctured from a smallest containing contiguous allocation (“SCCA”) is less than a threshold value. The apparatus includes a transceiver that transmits uplink signals on the non-contiguous resource allocation using the determined maximum power reduction.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a remote unit in a wireless communication system, a non-contiguous resource allocation;
- calculating a fraction of resource blocks punctured from a smallest containing contiguous allocation (“SCCA”), wherein the SCCA is a smallest set of contiguous resource blocks that encompasses the non-contiguous resource allocation;
- determining a first maximum power reduction for the non-contiguous resource allocation in response to the fraction of punctured resource blocks being less than a threshold value;
- and
- transmitting uplink signals on the non-contiguous resource allocation using the first maximum power reduction in response to the fraction of punctured resource blocks being less than the threshold value.
