SELECTIVE TRANSMISSION OF POWER HEADROOM REPORTS

Abstract:

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a UE determines old and new pathloss vectors that track old and new pathloss values on an element-specific basis. For a respective element, the UE selectively triggers a PHR based upon respective old and new pathloss values for that element. In another aspect, the UE determines whether differential pathloss value between two respective pathloss values associated with two pathloss measurement attempts for an element is unavailable or (if available) is higher than a threshold value, and the UE selectively triggers a PHR for the element based on the determination.
