Method and apparatus for generating and transmitting power headroom report in mobile communication system

A method performed by a base station in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

• transmitting power headroom report (PHR) configuration information for multiple cells to a user equipment (UE);
• and
• receiving a PHR for the multiple cells from the UE,
• wherein the PHR for the multiple cells contains PHR information for a first cell group and a second cell group,
• wherein the PHR for the multiple cells is triggered, at a first medium access control (MAC) entity for the first cell group in a first timing and at a second MAC entity for the second cell group in a second timing, based on the PHR configuration information for the multiple cells, in case that a prohibit PHR timer expires and after identifying that a pathloss of at least one activated serving cell of any MAC entity for the UE has changed more than a threshold,
• wherein the first cell group corresponds to a master cell group (MCG) and the second cell group corresponds to a secondary cell group (SCG),
• wherein the first PHR for the multiple cells contains type 2 PH information, and
• wherein the type 2 PH information is determined based on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission output power and a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission output power of a corresponding cell.

A user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system, the UE comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• receive, via the transceiver, power headroom report (PHR) configuration information for multiple cells, and
• trigger, at a first medium access control (MAC) entity for a first cell group in a first timing and at a second MAC entity for a second cell group in a second timing, a first PHR for the multiple cells containing PHR information for the first cell group and the second cell group based on the PHR configuration information for the multiple cells, in case that a prohibit PHR timer expires and after identifying that a pathloss of at least one activated serving cell of any MAC entity for the UE has changed more than a threshold, and
• wherein the first cell group corresponds to a master cell group (MCG) and the second cell group corresponds to a secondary cell group (SCG),
• wherein the first PHR for the multiple cells contains type 2 PH information, and
• wherein the type 2 PH information is determined based on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission output power and a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission output power of a corresponding cell.

• wherein the first PHR for the multiple cells is triggered, in case that a periodic PHR timer of at least one of the first MAC entity or the second MAC entity expires,
• wherein the first cell group corresponds to a master cell group (MCG) and the second cell group corresponds to a secondary cell group (SCG),
• wherein the PHR for the multiple cells contains type 2 PH information, and
• wherein the type 2 PH information is determined based on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission output power and a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission output power of a corresponding cell.
