The Power Headroom Report at least contains a power reduction measure reflecting a power reduction if the User Equipment performs proximity service communication.
Claims15
A method for power management in a cellular network, comprising:
- sending a Power Headroom Report by a User Equipment, wherein the Power Headroom Report at least contains
- a power reduction measure reflecting a power reduction if the User Equipment performs proximity service communication.
A method for power management in a cellular network, comprising:
- receiving a Power Headroom Report by a Scheduler from at least one User Equipment, wherein the Power Headroom Report at least contains a power reduction measure reflecting a power reduction if the User Equipment performs proximity service communication.
A Scheduler in a cellular network, comprising:
- a receiver for receiving at least one Power Headroom Report,
- a scheduling entity for scheduling radio resources for at least one User Equipment, wherein the Power Headroom Report at least contains a power reduction measure reflecting a power reduction if the at least one User Equipment performs proximity service communication and the scheduling entity uses the information received about power reduction for scheduling the radio resources.
