Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus and method of utilizing a filtered transmit power margin calculation, rather than an instantaneous Tx power, to determine whether or not to trigger an Event 6D report. The filtered transmit power margin may take into account not only the user equipment's transmit power and the maximum transmit power level, but in addition, a received maximum power reduction value.
Claims28
A method of wireless communication operable at a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network, comprising:
- transmitting a plurality of uplink transmissions having a transmit power;
- calculating a transmit power margin as a function of the transmit power, a maximum transmit power level (MTPL), and a maximum power reduction (MPR);
- and
- triggering, in response to a determination that the transmit power margin is equal to or less than a threshold level for at least a predetermined threshold amount of time, a transmission of a measurement report indicating that the transmit power of the UE has reached the MTPL.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for transmitting a plurality of uplink transmissions having a transmit power;
- means for calculating a transmit power margin as a function of the transmit power, a maximum transmit power level (MTPL), and a maximum power reduction (MPR);
- and
- means for triggering, in response to a determination that the transmit power margin is equal to or less than a threshold level for at least a predetermined threshold amount of time, a transmission of a measurement report indicating that the transmit power of the UE has reached the MTPL.
A computer-readable medium comprising code for causing a user equipment (UE) to:
- transmit a plurality of uplink transmissions having a transmit power;
- calculate a transmit power margin as a function of the transmit power, a maximum transmit power level (MTPL), and a maximum power reduction (MPR);
- and
- trigger, in response to a determination that the transmit power margin is equal to or less than a threshold level for at least a predetermined threshold amount of time, a transmission of a measurement report indicating that the transmit power of the UE has reached the MTPL.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a memory;
- and
- a user interface operatively coupled to the at least one processor,
- wherein the at least one processor comprises:
- a first component configured to transmit a plurality of uplink transmissions having a transmit power;
- a second component configured to calculate a transmit power margin as a function of the transmit power, a maximum transmit power level (MTPL), and a maximum power reduction (MPR);
- and
- a third component configured to trigger, in response to a determination that the transmit power margin is equal to or less than a threshold level for at least a predetermined threshold amount of time, a transmission of a measurement report indicating that the transmit power of the UE has reached the MTPL.
