POWER ALLOCATION FOR OVERLAPPING TRANSMISSION WHEN MULTIPLE TIMING ADVANCES ARE USED
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for allocating power for overlapping transmissions when multiple timing advances are used, the method comprising the steps of:
- scheduling a first transmission to a base station, during a first frame on a first frequency using a first timing advance;
scheduling a second transmission to the base station, during a second frame, using a second timing advance, wherein the second frame occurs later than the first frame and the second timing advance is greater than the first timing advance;
determining that the first transmission and the second transmission will overlap; and
decreasing power to at least the first transmission or the second transmission in response to the determination.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for power allocation for overlapping transmissions is provided herein. During operation, user equipment will determine if transmissions to a single base station, on various frequencies, will be overlapping. If so, a determination is made to back off the power for at least one transmission on one frequency.

10. An apparatus for allocating power for overlapping transmissions when multiple timing advances are used, the apparatus comprising:
logic circuitry scheduling a first transmission, during a first frame to a first antenna of a base station on a first frequency using a first timing advance, scheduling a second transmission, during a second frame, to a second antenna of the base station using a second timing advance, wherein the second frame occurs later than the first frame and the second timing advance is greater than the first timing advance, the logic circuitry determining that the first transmission and the second transmission will overlap and decreasing power to at least the first transmission or the second transmission in response to the determination.
- 11. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the logic circuitry determines that the first transmission and the second transmission will overlap by determining that an OFDM symbol duration of an n-th subframe on the first transmission overlaps at least partially an OFDM symbol duration on an n+1-th subframe of the second transmission.

18. A method for computing power headroom comprising:
-
receiving a first resource allocation for a first transmission in a first frame on a first frequency; receiving a second resource allocation for a second transmission in a second frame on the first frequency, wherein the second frame occurs later than the first frame; computing a first power headroom based on the first resource allocation and a second power headroom based on the second resource allocation; and transmitting a message including the smaller of the first and the second power head rooms. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A method for computing power headroom reporting comprising:
-
receiving a first resource allocation for a first transmission in a first frame on a first frequency; receiving a second resource allocation for a second transmission in a second frame on a second frequency, wherein the second frame occurs later than the first frame; determining that the first transmission overlaps at least in part a first ofdm symbol of the second transmission; and transmitting a message including a power headroom for the first ofdm symbol of the second frame on the second frequency. - View Dependent Claims (21)
