Reporting power headroom in multiple connectivity next generation networks
A method for reporting power headroom by a user equipment (UE) to an evolved NodeB (eNB) in a Multi-Radio Access Technology (RAT)-Dual Connectivity (MR-DC) scenario is disclosed. The method includes generating, by the UE, a DC Power Headroom Report (PHR) Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) having a fixed number of octets with cell index fields for indicating whether a power headroom (PH) for a serving cell with a corresponding cell index is reported; and transmitting, by the UE, the DC PHR MAC CE to the eNB, wherein the fixed number of octets is independent of a highest secondary Cell Index (SCellIndex) for serving cells with configured uplink.
