Abstract
A method for reporting power headroom-related information for a plurality of aggregated carriers. The method includes reporting in a bitmap the power headroom-related information for a number of the aggregated carriers that is less than or equal to the total number of aggregated carriers, wherein the power headroom-related information is one of a power headroom for at least one of the aggregated carriers and a path loss for at least one of the aggregated carriers.
Claims1
A method at an access node for a wireless telecommunications system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a user agent (UA), within a bitmap, power headroom-related information for a number of aggregated carriers that is less than or equal to a total number of aggregated carriers,
- wherein each bit in the bitmap corresponds to one of the aggregated carriers, one value in the bitmap indicating that the power headroom-related information for a corresponding carrier is being transmitted, and another value in the bitmap indicating that the power headroom-related information for a corresponding carrier is not being transmitted, and
- wherein the power headroom-related information comprises one of power headroom and path loss information, for at least one of the aggregated carriers;
- specifying a set of carriers from the total number of aggregated carriers for which the power headroom-related information is to be reported;
- and
- informing the UA of the set of carriers for which the power headroom-related information is to be reported.
